Full-length (2009)
(Reviewer: Billy Taylor)
This offering is Nebukadnezza’s 4th full-length release and is in this reviewer’s opinion by far their best. That isn’t because the previous releases were not up to scratch, it’s just that this captures the band’s sound better than any previous recording.
Coming thundering in with the title track/introduction ‘There Is No Revolution’, it doesn’t take Nebs long to start delivering the goods. Anyone familiar with the band will know what to expect from them, but new listeners are in for some of (if not the) the most aggressive and intensive music out there in the UK thrash scene.
It’s hard to describe Nebukadnezza’s sound without referring to various other genres. The drumming has elements of modern grindcore but with insane precision and an oppressive feel usually found in death metal. All of this is complemented by the truly guttural vocals and fast-moving riffs which create an overall feeling that the songs are being forced into your ears at gun point! This feeling could become too intensive at times, but fortunately the album is interlaced with sound bytes that usually act as a premise for the upcoming track. If I had to level any criticism at the album it’s that the solos, whilst performed capably, do not usually compliment the songs overall.
This album is a must have for all fans of the extreme.
