What appeals the most to me are the names of the songs because I am a big nerd myself (Metroid anyone?). TRAITOR play a rather wild and rough kind of thrash, hacking and slaying through their songs like Kratos would approach a linear level, Hery and Koch on guitar really fucking rip their listeners a new one, Mozer on drums and vocals clubbers the kit in a way I can not imagine how many drum parts he has to buy over the years and all while croaking and screaming through the song-material as if his well-being depends on maximum vocal rage, Kandolf is slapping the living shit out of his bass thus buffing up the guitar sound. The lyrical themes are a mix of movie/videogame-related stuff with historic songs here and there. But today is the day for TRAITOR`s last outputs “Knee-Deep In The Dead” and “Decade Of Revival” which is more or less a live record with four new songs on it. Bassist Lorenz Kandolf (TRAITOR, WULFPÄCK) provided me with a USB stick containing two records of TRAITOR and he also provided me with WULFPÄCK`s “War Ain’t Over”. My first victims for this kind of approach is the German thrash metal band TRAITOR! We met each other on Facebook and quickly concluded that I shall do a write-up of their stuff. So I thought about doing something new, I will call it: Double the Trouble (two reviews in one). Release Date: April 27 th 2018/ December 13 th 2019 Title: Knee-Deep In The Dead/Decade Of Revival
