When I played the new Truppensturm album for the first time, I thought my speakers broke down. A murderous, mangy, muddy sound came over me which can hardly be topped in darkness and ugliness. Truppensturm are a synonym for raw, chaotic, satanic old school black / death metal - with a bit thrash embedded. Without mercy and with an uncompromisingly bass-laden sound they remember one of Sodom's In The Sign Of Evil, Venom's Welcome To Hell, Onslaught's Power From Hell and the early works of Incantation. So everybody should be aware that this means blunt and brutal sounds without any melodies. Even the guitars sound rumbling and thunderous while the drums hammer monotonously, sometimes even slowly. The singer sounds like he's belch from deep down a sewer - and all 12 songs sound alike. This is far from easy listening, but that's exactly what Truppensturm want to achieve. Nothing for the masses, but only for die-hard extreme old school fans! Even if this sounds like scorcher, but I love the above mentioned bands and the forecited albums, so you should know what I think about Truppensturm! Anyway, I recommend to check out several songs before you buy the album!
