Death Mechanism - Human Error...Global Terror (2008)


Seriously, what is it about Italians that makes them so awesome when it comes to extreme metal? Out of all the countries in the world, Italy has some of the best thrashers right after Germany and the United States. Death Mechanism is the epitome of retro thrash. After 25 seconds of heartbeats, the opening riffs of "Anthropic Collapse" tell you that this band is heavily the German "Big 3" (Kreator, Destruction, and Sodom). Then come the lyrics, which are typical thrash lyrics about death, war, destruction, politics, etc. Hell, the band was formerly known as O.D.O. which stands for Odio, Distruzione, Orrore meaning "Hate, Destruction, Horror" in Italian. Finally, the promo picture featuring all three members in black band t-shirts, denim vests and bullet belts. Despite this obvious worship of the old-school, Death Mechanism manages to be one of my favorite thrash bands of the new century and Human Error...Global Terror one of my favorite albums of the year so far. Is this album creative and original? Nope. Is this album great headbanging material? Fuck yeah!
