Three years but now had to wait for a new album coming from the Portland band fans. With Conjure And Command but the wait is over and I guess TOXIC HOLOCAUST will not disappoint their fans with the disc. The Conjure And Command music is made up of the ingredients already known together: thrash metal, punk-felling and partially black reminiscences (which we are talking about VENOM-blackness and not EMPEROR-ink). Mixed results in the already well-known thrash metal brew. However scab on the new album compared to the predecessor to Overdose Of Death, a lot of effort to make the individual numbers varied.
Where in the predecessor still primarily the accelerator pedal was depressed, you take on the current work of the speed partly skillfully from the songs and replaces them with groovy parts. The groovy numbers like The Liars Are Burning or the nasty I Am Disease make a nice contrast to fast numbers like Revelations and Bitch (with a beautiful Bombed-tribute) and drive the neck muscles sometimes to the brink of insanity. Especially with the music, the play bands like TOXIC HOLOCAUST, change is extremely important, because the corset of the genre is very tight. And this is where you can see the strength of Conjure And Command. The band has evolved audible and shakes some beautiful, groovy pieces off the cuff, without forgetting their roots or losing aggressiveness. On the Twelve and soundtrack for the pit there on Conjure And Command always enough.
Instrumentally and production technology can complain about anything here. Grind moves absolutely confident in its spectrum and less treble sound outlandish production of the disc gives an official, oppressive sound. The only complaint on Conjure And Command is that Toxic Holocaust still do not manage to work out reasonable, really catchy hook lines. Because the band was still working, so the songs are also sustainable. Overall, the Yanks have but resumed an album that should not disappoint any old-school fan. If the above-mentioned deficiency would not, I would like to assign more points to TOXIC HOLOCAUST.
