Dutch thrash\/death metallers Degenerate latest release ‘Rituals of Rage’ certainly does rage. If you\u2019re a fan of early Sepultura, Kreator, Death and Morbid Angel,<\/em> you will LOVE Degenerate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since they formed back in 2016, Degenerate have built a solid reputation in the Dutch metal scene, their debut release (Devastation Ahead<\/em>) put them on the map, and since then, the band have gigged tirelessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rituals of Rage<\/em> is a full-on headbanging feast of an album, completely relentless in its attack on the senses. Honestly, after listening to the entire thing, I was exhausted!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Superb musicianship all round, shredding guitars, God knows what BPM double bass drums and screaming\/guttural vocals are the order of the day with Degenerate. These guys really know how to play. Don\u2019t be fooled into thinking that they can\u2019t write a melody, though; there are plenty to be heard here. My favourite track, \u201cThe Cult\u201d, is full of Maiden-esque guitar melodies and shows the lighter side of the band (on occasion!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIlluminate<\/em>\u201d is another great track with some added gang vocals for full on effect. Lovely stuff. As I said earlier, if you love your classic thrash\/death metal, Degenerate will be just up your street. Give Rituals of Rage<\/em> a play, you won\u2019t be sorry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
