The issue I had with Vengeance is My Name is that there’s a clear line between the better songs and those which seem less inspired or instantly catchy. For example, the closer “I’ll Take Your Head” starts off with a pure Kill ‘Em All vibe and then accelerates into pure Kreator/Cranium carnage, and “Venomous Breath” has some very well thought out triplets, but I felt like there were others like “Put to Death” and “Metal” that felt like average Aura Noir fare at best, and the aforementioned cleanliness of the production doesn’t lend it the savagery of, say, the recent debut Forbidden World by Sweden’s Antichrist.
