Some bands try to play, some of them kill and finally some other simply rock. Dustsucker is in the last category, the category of the bands which play their music without any pretention but which finally know how to do good Rock N Roll. "Diablo Domination" is one of these releases which give you good vibes and good feelings, with summer approaching, "Diablo Domination" is a good way to smile a bit and prepare silly parties.

If you like Motörhead, obviously you'll like the music of Dustsucker and their last opus "Diablo Domination. This release is a good album of angry and punky Hard Rock. Full of rhythmic songs with great melodies perfect to party and also great technical guitar soli, "Diablo Domination" is a perfect album for your summer holidays. This is not really serious, arrogant or anything, just great Rock music which is really well written and played. Plus there is some kind of Punk attitude in the Metal of Dustsucker, this is not a simple new clone of AC/DC and a bit like with Motörhead, we maybe have simple structures but always with this really cool spirit and totally Rock N Roll attitude. This is fun as hell to listen to this album, you can already expect a lot of headbang and parties listening to this CD.

"Diablo Domination" doesn't have to be compared with hyper technical releases, though even if it's Punk Hard Rock, I'm nicely surprised by the musical skill of the members of the band. The singer is not particularly great but he has a great way to sing/speak his lyrics. The drummer and bassist add some really nice rhytmics and the lead guitarist is damn impressive. Even if the music of Dustsucker is a mix of Punk and Hard Rock, we have at least great guitars soli which are perfectly listenable in reason of the great recording of the album. We're just in front of a really professional work even if obviously this is not the main goal of the members.

I will cover some Metal festivals soon and you know what? I will not forget to bring with me "Diablo Domination" because it will simply be perfect for my car and for sure it will be a good way to be a bit more motivated. Sometime you can find releases which simply give positive feelings, "Diablo Domination" is one of them, so don't miss it if you want to pass great moments alone or I hope with your friends.
