Mature Devastation – 98%
costaricanfan, February 11th, 2007
The Canadian devastators are back with what seems to be their best disk to date. There’s a sense of freshness and renovation in the air. But don’t worry the old brutal spirit still remains strong. The production is flawless and the band achieved the sound that they where searching for. They handle the mixing to Tue Madsen , cause JF Dagenais produced and mixed the last 5 Kataklysm releases, so they wanted a new perspective.
Somehow this disk reminds me of “The Prophecy” the disk that redefined the way people saw Kataklysm. But at the same time I think that each Kataklysm production should be judged individually. Like different brothers in a family, “In the arms of Devastation” is the big brother. This new production is more mature, deep and intense and it features the right amount of ingredients to please every kind of Kataklysm fan. The brutality and the speed for the blast freaks, and technical virtuosity for the mature experienced ear.
There’s a technical improvement and my guess is that it has to do with the amount of time that this guys dedicate to the creation of this glorious masterpiece. In their previous efforts they didn’t have much time to play around and improved the songs. Now they have shown what they can accomplish.
