Dethropia is a Finnish foursome which formed three years ago and <em>Good For Nothing<\/em> is the band\u2019s debut full-length offering. This record features a deadly dose of eight gnarly songs that snarl with such a vigour.<\/p>\n<p>The opening title track is such a snappy composition formed by the vocal snarls of Olli T\u00e4htinen and the sneering guitar tone from Pete Markkanen, alongside the equally rampant drums of Matti Ylik\u00e4rpp\u00e4. In fact, because the energy of the album, Dethropia makes for quite a refreshing experience, particularly with the ominous opening of \u2018Under A Brooding Sky\u2019 and the immense groove-laden chugs of \u2018Fires Of Dystopia\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>There is plenty of variation within the more textbook attacks; \u2018Sunless Place\u2019 traipses with a lot of traditional metal nuances, and \u2018Scorched Earth Tactics\u2019 follows a similar path as for the most part this is quite the mid-tempo piece of work and yet boasts a layer of grit. I also enjoy the way a lot of these songs start out, creating suspenseful atmosphere before the metallic onslaught.
