WEHRMACHT \"Biermacht\"
 
Biermacht is the second cult release by Wehrmacht and it came out two years after the debut, Shark Attack. The years have passed but the uncontrollable fury of this band remains unvaried, also on this new album. The production is better than the one on the debut and this can only add a sense of power to the composition, without excluding the rawness this music always deserves. So, prepare for more violent crossover, with ultra fast tempo, schizophrenic vocals and essential riffs that point everything on the sheer speed. In this case, 26 minutes are sufficient for the band to take no prisoners and let all the rage come out. "You Broke My Heart (So I Broke Your Face)" immediately shows what the album would be. The Spazztic Blurr influences are always evident and very heavy. The punk up tempo sections and the less impulsive ones are well-mixed together with lots of stop and go. The structures are essential but quite dynamic and sometimes the thrash metal puts the head out, like on the riffs of "Gore Flix". The savage rolls, the fast palm muting and the mad vocals, everything contributes in rising the speed and violence, without putting apart a great sense of humour. The melodic, epic introduction to "The Wehrmacht" is here to stay, like also the blast beats that follow. The various "Everb", "Suck my Dick" and "Drink Jack" let the S.O.D. and M.O.D. influences emerge through the punk styled assault. The album has historic importance as well as huge musical value. Biermacht is a landmark in eighties crossover thrash and should be checked out immediately by all newbies.
