Stay Pure D.I.Y

Last Act Of Defiance – ‘Sadistic blessings’ – Full-lenght - 2010

The first independent beginner of this new Macedonian band, found its place on plastic. The bend is formed by veterans of the Macedonian metal scene, which put their forces in this thrash/crossover quartet. The album is a D.I.Y release, which is pretty much natural for this kind of music. The booklet has 8 pages, and it’s filled with song lyrics, images of the band members, and gratitude to the people who helped this CD to see the light of the night. What happens with the music, is that the songs are so fast and powerful, they’ll make you jump right in the center of a mosh, and sing along the melodies and angry choruses!!! With first hearing, this album isn’t so spectacular, but with every new hearing it just gets better. The thing that didn’t offer so much enjoyment at the beginning is the production. In this case, the production with its sterile sound almost killed the whole energy in this. Although every instrument sounds awesome, the production just doesn’t keep the album alive. Zejtin could have destroyed the drums totally, at least from what I hear from his other band ‘Nihilist’, but here isn’t the case’. Highlights: ‘Thrashin Crew’, ‘Really Angry’, ‘City Of the Damned’, ‘See You In Hell’… Anyway, I recommend this sadistic blessing to every thrash and crossover fan!
