With a dry vocal snap akin to Kreator\u2019s Millie Petrozza comes Dreadful Fate\u2019s leader Bestial, for what is the Scandinavian band\u2019s debut full-length release; a sneering and despicable death \/ thrash attack that will surely get the brain cells short circuiting in no amount of time.<\/p>\n

At times one cannot beat a quick shock to the system, which I last experienced fully when the likes of Destruction<\/a> and the aforementioned Kreator battered us senseless back in the 80s. But every now and then such assaults do occur, and Vengeance<\/em> does exactly that.<\/p>\n

However, before entering this veritable washing machine of thrash I suggest you get online and order yourself a vintage thrash t-shirt, a studded wristband and bullet belt, and then once fully armoured get stuck in to this 26 minute atrocity.<\/p>\n

Dreadful Fate caused a slight stir amongst the rats of the Swedish sewers last year with their The Sin Of Sodom<\/em> demo, so I was rather surprised that they\u2019d got round so quickly to burping this lump out, but when you hear it you\u2019ll be thankful they did. Everything about this zany whippersnapper of a record is rust-coated, but more importantly swift and to the point.<\/p>\n

Eight tracks come as a spiky tirade to the senses as more Teutonic worship unfolds. \u2018Vengeance\u2019, \u2018Death Sentence\u2019 and \u2018Eternal Fire\u2019 all run just over two-minutes, while \u2018Altar Of Cruelty\u2019 is somewhat a marathon at just over four-minutes. However, everything offered up here has the effect of a spit in the face \u2013 nasty, snarling slaps of familiar yet speedy thrash that also stinks of old Sodom, Possessed and Bathory, and that\u2019s down to Death Ripper\u2019s chords of destruction and his compatriots Total Destruction and Corpse Skelethor hammering bass and drum respectively.<\/p>\n

In a sense the track titles seem irrelevant as all and sundry are delivered in such a thorny, abrasive hell-torrent that you\u2019ll forget which is which, but you\u2019ll sure as hell know you\u2019ve been whipped up by a sonic metal storm as \u2018Witches Hammer\u2019 and \u2018Hour Of Reprisal\u2019 provide dirty strikes leaving whelp marks. And in-between and all around the edges there are nods to Slayer<\/a> as well as Hellhammer and Celtic Frost, and even more so when the band decides to take a breather and chuck in a soiled chug and \u201cugh\u201d smirk.<\/p>\n

Other than that it\u2019s a case of 95% mind clattery, the white-knuckle ride making its last stop at \u2018The Final Sacrifice\u2019 before you\u2019re thrown at the wall and your other half or mother is left to clean up the mess.<\/p>\n

Dreadful Fate set out to obliterate… mission accomplished then with this razor-sharp and caustic exploration of 80s thrash savagery.<\/p>\n
