APOCALYPTIC VISIONS „“Doomsday Device””

Music: Death/Black Metal
Website: http://www.myspace.com/apocalypticvisions
Country: U. S. A.

APOCALYPTIC VISIONS was formed in 2001 in Atlanta and since then came across many squad changes. The band play something in between brutal death and black metal, with a very original lyrical theme, i.e. hatred, anti-humanity and anti-Christian. Sounds quite normal.

The album starts aggressively, with a huge dose of unstoppable power, which stays the same till the end of it. There is a lot of sheer force and energy, but in each song there is the same kind of it, which tires after a while and makes this album a boring release. The compositions are pretty much the same, what is more, they do not offer too much. Only the most tenacious people will find this album interesting, unfortunately I am not one of them, this music totally got on my nerve. I just waited impatiently till the end, locked the disc in the dark cellar and threw away the key. No innovation, no organization, no nothing. It is just brutal power, but served without any brain.

It is highly recommendable… to burn this disc while not having listened to it yet. Or kill the salesman trying to convince you to buy it. There is no reason of listening to such crap, there is nothing more than a powerful play, although extremely boring. Those points are actually for the power, not the content.
