Deströyer 666 - Wildfire

Sounds like D666.

These guys have read their Nietzsche

What year is it? am I in right year? sounds like I am in 80's , but wait a sec, there wa s no I net , anyway really amazing album, in vail of leather, long hair and denim metal

It's definitely the best blackened thrash thing I've heard since Abzu. Fantastic stuff.

FUCK YEAH.

So glad these guys are back in full force. Whole thing is an absolute banger!

Haha, come closer, baby.

I'm terrible at attending London gigs, but may have to force myself to see these guys with Bolzer in a few months.

HAIL DESTROYER 666!

Still didn't bother checking an awful lot of 2016 albums, but this one is getting a load of replays.
Pretty much perfection when it comes to black thrash with addictive riffs, balanced length/memorability and song variation. The instrumental track has crazy good riffs, the closing track is beyond epic and I love how the vocals sometimes change (like on the title track). AOTY material for sure.

So looking at the credits, this band is basically now spearheaded, at least in part, by one of Cruciamentum / Grave Miasma's guitarists? That explains the huge jump in quality from previous releases then.

They've gone truly international now because besides the Cruciamentum/Grave Miasma guy they also have Felipe Plaza Kutzbach of Procession/Capilla Ardiente/Nifelheim in the band since last year

Suppose it makes sense the band relocating to Europe then.

They were in Europe before as well. Most of the band used to live in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. Somehow they started off in Australia, relocated to Europe (France and The Netherlands) move to Australia again and now back to Europe.

Excellent new album, for me personally even their best one. Very good thrash metal hammer!

Holy shit D666 are still kicking? I loved Phoenix Rising back in the day ... lost track when they went to Europe

The fact that this totally kickass ripper of an album isn't rated higher is absolutely criminal.

Can anyone do something about that Tony Montana guy rating every album in the top 20 of 2016 (well, formerly now) 1/10?

Just got round to listening to this, pretty intense and catchy as hell, kick ass.

Very good album yes, more refined than previous albums and with a clearer production. I possibly prefer Defiance slightly, it's just a bit more emphatic as an album.

Maybe he really hates these albums.

Maybe, but I wouldn't put any level of trust in the person that accused anyone of not giving the new Killswitch Engage album a 9 or more as being "delusional" and "full of shit."

After Defiance this is pretty underwhelming i gotta say, sounds like they played it safe instead

This and Vektor's Terminal Redux are my only 10s for the year so far. Still really loving this album 6 months later after first hearing it

This baby is my AOTY. So fucking good

Really dude, aoty? l haven't given a serious listen to this. Well rectify asap.

Well I've always though D666 was just pure bm so was surprised to see the amount of thrash reeking in here, later saw that they are actually blackened thrash, makes perfect sense. Great riffage though and a fantastic cover too, no wonder its on SOM last year.

Haha perfect reaction, exactly what I felt, this reeks so much of the 80's sound its almost nauseating at times.

Was never a D666 fan, had checked their older stuff and never really got me. now it's likely getting my MSA Thrash vote.

and had no idea Felipe Plaza Kutzbach was with them... and funny to see Marcel use "Kutzbach" as way back when doing our original Procession review he had me remove it as he'd only heard him called Felipe Plaza.

Probably my favorite from them.
