Vendetta – Black as Coal (Massacre Records)


 

Vendetta is a veteran speed metal band from Germany, although the only remaining member from the old days is the bass player, Klaus Ullrich.  The rest of the members joined the band within the last 20 years or so.  Black as Coal delivers the goods in a big way, and it totally feels like Vendetta.

This is a very dark and heavy album.  It does have a feel of the 1980s thrash, but it also has a modern flavor, and a top-notch production.  It’s a great album all the way through, each track attacks you with a punch.  Solid riffing, and plenty of twists and turns.

Black as Coal continues a great legacy that began back in the 1980s.  The current version of Vendetta wrote some heavy tunes and delivered an outstanding album.  Make no mistake about getting this album, and playing it repeatedly.
