DERIDE “The Void”

DERIDE
“The Void”
(Massacre)
I have no clue why some people think that flexing your muscles should impress anybody. That said there are moments when flexed muscles work. Deride knocked me from the start. They set out on a high note. No fussing about, just plain punches to the head. This is the kind of metal that I have no idea what to do with. I cannot relate to it completely. Call it modern metal or call it metalcore, I have no clue whatsoever what it is that they are trying to say. That aside, there are no reason why I can’t enjoy even if I can’t understand it. This is metal that is full of testosterone and anger. High on raw emotion Deride try to knock you senseless with short sharp burst of fist punching. It’s like being in the ring with somebody totally out of your weight class. I like it. Anders Ekdahl
