Prüm. Stadthalle. February 27, 1999. Storm of Steel Festival. A me until then unknown band played such a good thrash metal, I've bought on the spot, the debut album "The Inside". Who would have thought that I sometimes compose a CD-Review for this band? Not me. Nine years later, I think the latest album of this band in your hands. I do not know that it's the same band, I would not believe it. To my shame I must confess that my other albums, the Troisdorf are unknown. That there are more between the albums that I know where the band has developed step by step, is clear to me. The big step between these albums me, however enormous. Protect the aid were the boys right from a true Horde known musicians, namely: Victor Smolski of RAGE, Manni Schmidt of GRAVE DIGGER, lubrication of DESTRUCTION / headhunter Wiley Arnett of SACRED REICH and last but not least Gus Chambers / ex-GRIP INC. The result of hard-working musician is a contemporary, ie modern thrash album. But let me once yet again the play button press. "Evolution" is the first piece fittingly, where we would be at 9 years leap back. This song is very varied, starting with a "gentle" intro, over thrashy mid-tempo fields to a parade-chorus. Neat what auffe Hat's at "Shred" with Gus Chambers and Manni Schmidt. Take it easy, it is finally the last song, the ballad "Some Blood". Especially in the latter you can hear how much singer Matthias Zimmermann has evolved, no comparison to "The Inside". Out tip: "Evolution" and "Utopia" (great!) PERZONAL WAR present a strong, matured, good and powerful produced album, which proved to be only lets you hear more!
