A PERSONAL VIEW ABOUT A PERFECT MASTERPIECE!!!!

"DOOMSDAY FOR THE DECEIVER" is only THE DEBUT ALBUM of the Speed Metal/ Thrash Metal act Flotsam And Jetsam... Of course!!!

What has become, then, a masterpiece of Thrash Metal... Hats off!!!

Understanding why "Doomsday For The Deceiver" has become a masterpiece of Thrash Metal (and the Speed ​​Metal) is not difficult to say. I love albums that express joy, magic, power, technique (even if only on paper), innovation and feeling. Apparently millions of crazy people have a similar vision (equal to or... Superior) to my vision, talking about music. So "Doomsday For The Deceiver" is a pure masterpiece of music!

Technically "Doomsday For The Deceiver" is an album rather technician. Not because the songs are technical (and the songs are really thechnical) but because the speed of the songs is very high! Potentially there is a lot of unconscious in this musical approach. But, in general, innovation is also this. Not that other bands have tried to make music as this, in those years. And all conquer my mind.

Magic... Feeling... There is in "Doomsday For The Deceiver" something creepy ... Slimy... No compromises! The mind is kidnapped... The heart bursts... A positive anger coming out of your body like steam and you want to share with nature, try everything! Since you can not get on the highway and push on the accelerator as if you were attempting a speed record... You become sad! Unlikely that your grandmother can understand you! However, if you were winning at Indianapolis, Le Mans or Monte Carlo... Uhh... I am satisfied to win the doorstep race, a rally (which everyone tells me to be really technical and difficult!)... Abstractly speaking "Doomsday For The Deceiver" is this!

The mountain is collapsing, the dam will not collapse and the spate of water... the uncrossed Death and desolation... Mud and tears! Today, mass tourism blocking the way and I must sound the horn to go with the car... Vajont is this, unfortunately. Stupidity of the people, the power of money! My mind processes this image as "Doomsday For The Deceiver" is there to make their way into my brain! And only at this point, I understand that reality is not fantasy!

What is striking, even today, is the freshness of the music proposed here. And, without rhetoric, will be the perfect alchemy that is in "Doomsday For The Deceiver" to make a difference in the ages to come! Because my mind always processes hot visions when the joy of music into my heart!

P.s.: Of course the cover makes you laugh... That monster... "Scooby Doo where are you?!?"
