ACCU§ER - WHO DOMINATES WHO?
ACCU§ER DOMINATES YOU!
Accu§er existed for over a decade but their long career of thrash metal debauchery
didn't put them in the same bracket as more household names like Kreator, Sodom and Destruction. But they are certainly one of the first bands you'll bump into if you dig a bit deeper than the surface level.
"Who dominates who?" is their third release and their last of the decade (1989).
and I think they did pretty damn well here. I wouldn't exactly disagree if someone
called this their best effort.
We got seven songs or pure high octane thrash. Kind of raw with rough edges mostly due to the somewhat stale production, but still quite technical in their approach. If you're into aggressive and fast Bay Area-styled thrash with some German flavouring think Tankard or Assassin you would certainly dig Accuser.
Fast riffing, speedy basswork, screaming solos, thunderous drumming and straight forward and aggressive vocals, with the shouting backup vocals by the rest of the band. That's usually a winning concept when it comes to thrash and it works here too. The first three songs are all fantastic and the opener and title track on side two "Who dominates who?", Oh, my god, it's really a thrash metal anthem on par with anything that Kreator, Destruction or Sodom were doing at the time. If you find this out of print album pick it up before it's too late!
