Album of the Month - DerDRAKOS, Blood To Blood
"After a
long anticipated 2 year wait, DerDrakos is back again with Blood To Blood. Deciding not to
hear the samples put up on their official myspace, I decided to wait for the album to
arrive, so not to torment me any more than I was already; I'm glad I waited - Blood To
Blood excells beyond imagination.
First the technicals: where their last album, Lust For Chaos was harsh, choppy and erradic
in sound, Blood To Blood is a smoother production, making a smooth transition track to
track. The vocals are stronger and more defined than their previous release; and you can
hear the development and growth of them mastering their craft. Their visual concepts
remain the same with the amazing and talented Suzi Medusa back at the helm and in charge
of the graphics and design layout.
Musically, Blood To Blood is their best work to date. This father and son duo are definate
masters at what they do, and they do it damn well. There isn't enough compositions like
this out there, with the last in my mind being Atari Teenage Riot, in the way both bands
weave a harsh, techno/industrial atmosphere with an otherworldly/ravish/underground
atmosphere. Tracks to support this theory are "European Hard Line", "La
Vipera", and "Deep In Violence". This time around, Suzi's vocals provide
her usual husky erotic blend of growling and screaming, but is more defined and clear.
Favorite tracks off this album are "European Hard Line" with the stand out
opening line of "We are Europeans, we don't need to be good. We are devils."
"Welcome To Hell" is amazing as well with an enticing tone of voice in the
opening line.
By far, this is one of my favorite bands to date, and if you're one of the lucky few to be
in their good graces as this ezine is, then you have a better understanding of who they
are as a whole. I would love to see a live show if there ever was one."
