If someone were to ask me for a modern thrash metal album that would be right up pretty much everyone's alley, my number one would be Relentless Retribution released by thrashers of the classic era Death Angel somewhere at the turn of the decade. Since their reunion in the early 2000's, Death Angel have been delivering some pretty consistent groovy modern thrash, and this album continues in the same direction without sounding stale. The guitars combine the moments of super-distorted heaviness, epic leads and double harmonies quite well while the crisp production helps channel both aspects outstandingly. In a similar fashion Mark Osegueda manifests his vocal talent in full spectrum going from a very tense pissed-off screaming to clean passionate singing. Read more ›› |

Posts: 3493 Written by Whoblehwah on 08.09.2010 at 05:28 Personally I'm not really sure about it. I ended up giving it a 7, but it's more like 6.8. There are good thrash riffs, but also lots of pointless and boring harmonized sections or plain progressions.

I don't really know what to think of this. Its ok I suppose though I thought they would release something similar to the 'thrash-funk' that they did on Killing Season coz while Relentless Retribution is thrashier, Killing Season was quite a unique sound. Here they just sound like another 101 modern thrash bands..

Cool, another disappointing album released by one of my favorite bands. This year just sucks for metal  I think I'm going to stop buying new albums prior to listening because I'm tired of wasting my money.

I'm sorry but everything after Act III just stinks. Their last album was so bad that I won't even bother picking this one up.

Posts: 1689 Written by Death To Posers on 01.10.2010 at 03:26 Seconded  Maybe this album isn't the greatest shit ever released, but all the songs manage to become something quite enjoyable, even if this album is not as varied as their previous release, but it has more guts in it, well, all I can say is that I like this album, just what I expected, nothing more, nothing less. Also the cover artwork is great!

I really like this album, IMO it's like a combination between the sound of Old Death Angel and Killing Season. But absolutely better than Killing Season, i love the beautiful acoustic guitar work on "Claws in so Deep" and "Volcanic". Mark voice is awesome as always and the riffs are Heavy and Melodic at the same time, that's what makes Death Angel so different of all the other Thrash Metal bands. They aren't afraid to show a more melancholic and soft side. I know a lot will desagree with this but IMO Act III is not that great, it sounds a lot like Anthrax. RR on the other hand is all Death Angel style. BTW i can't believe Killing Season have a better rate than this album. This album deserves a 8.5 IMO

Although it has some decent moments, this is definitely the weakest album Death Angel have put out since their reunion. I prefer both "Killing Season" and "Art Of Dying" over the latest one...

No idea how people can say that "Killing Season" is better than this album..  I suppose this isn't exactly the thrashiest DA album, but there are some other great qualities to it; songwriting in these slower (and maybe a bit more generic metal) type of songs is pretty good and it's adds room for some memorable riffs and vocal parts. Another great quality (that plenty of people mentioned here already) are these acoustic songs/moments that don't really have anything to do with thrash metal, but are just an enjoyable addition IMO (and the same goes for the songs of "The Art of Dying")". The albums definitely has good songs: "Relentless Revolution", "Claws In So Deep", "Truce", "This Hate", "I Chose The Sky" and "Volcanic". Though, from almost 60 minutes of length the weaker songs ("Into The Arms Of Righteous Anger", "Absence Of Light" and "Death Of The Meek") could easily be left out. That been said, my top DA albums are: 1.Act III 2.The Art of Dying and The Ultra-Violence (shared place) 3.Relentless Retribution
