MASTER
'The New Elite'
(Pulverised Records)
Apparently for Paul Speckmann the home is where the disease is the
and the current hard times have seemingly re-fuelled his vitriolic
rage to epic proportions, which is only good for the listener. 'The
New Elite' is here to kick your ass and then some, spitting bile and
pointing fingers in an extremely intense fashion - a raging
combination of blistering riffs and solos, hyper-kinetic drumming and
Paul's patented snarls and bass lines. 45 minutes do fly in a heart
beat, the eleven songs wouldn't let you catch your breath and those
lame neck muscles would be screaming in vain for mercy and a nice spa
treating. This is a textbook example of doing things right and Master
most certainly know the secret recipe of mixing old school death
metal and punk/hardcore energy along with some thrash and modern day
death spices to give the listener value for their money. 'The New
Elite' has once again reassured the faith that this band's fire is
far from extinguishing and that's amazing news in a scene spawning
bands with little to no integrity and bite. Couple of attributes Paul
has proven over the years he's got in abundance and could put to good
use. [8,5]
