Listening to &#8216;Waves of Annihilation&#8217;\u00a0I almost\u00a0start to get\u00a0jealous. Not only because the Belgium soccer team is playing the European Championship, but also because I haven&#8217;t heard a Dutch thrash\/speed band lately with such a good release.<\/p>\n<p>Everything is correct on this album, the sound, the songs, the riffs, the variety etc. etc. Sammy Pelemans high singing style sticks perfect to the music and the band Agent Steel is one that enters my mind a lot. Also Death Angel is a main influence of the band and of course all the Bay Area bands. Guitarists Dries van Damme and Christophe Depree torture us with one monster riff after another. That the band also listens to other styles can be heard in &#8220;None Can Defy&#8221;, a track with grunting parts and some devestating blast beats. &#8220;Restore to Sanity&#8221; is also a track with\u00a0 grunts, but with some very good clean singing lines as well. After a lot of great (thrash) albums this might even be may favorite&#8230; yes even over Destruction, Death Angel and Flotsam and Jetsam&#8230; A lot will not agree perhaps, but who cares!\u00a0By the way, this isn&#8217;t really thrash, I would\u00a0call it\u00a0speed metal!\u00a0I can&#8217;t remember giving a band the maximum score&#8230;.., but because I can&#8217;t give a half devil&#8230; I\u00a0am forced to do it&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>They always say about sex that you can not describe in\u00a0words what you experience, this is also something that can be said about this album, so I stop writing about it. Buy it and enjoy!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"After All - &#039;The Unusual Sin&#039; Official Video\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-2QiKAQbfao?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Tracklist:<\/h4>\n<p>01.
