Re-release of the third full-length album by Australian Black/Thrash Metal band.
With their third album Deströyer 666 continued their steep climb in the favour of fans and critics alike. The still sound pretty good. The drums are accurate, the guitars are similarly unimpressive. Each instrument is clearly audible and nothing seems to dominate, which allows the music to be heard for what it is.
The Australian warmongers were received with praise like “Hail and kill indeed” in a 9/10 review from Terrorizer UK or described like “Deströyer 666 offer the best of their Black/Thrash know-how, refined with the usual Australian vice” in Rock Hard France (8/10). With time its impact even grew as Encyclopaedia Metallum now awards this album a 100% review twice, while saying: “Cold Steel is pretty much a perfect album. It is fast, intense, and aggressive and most of all, incredibly infectious”! Now this modern classic was re-released in an irresistible package.
Deströyer 666's 2002 album gets the reissue treatment just in time for its tenth anniversary. Re-edition contains new artwork, liner notes and bonus track "The Dragon". "The Dragon" was first recorded for the album's original release, but was never included on the finished product. The song was also featured on Season of Mist's "Apocalypse: Livre 66, Chapitre Premier" compilation as an untitled track.
This is clearly a must have for all Deströyer 666 fans!!!
