UMUR
"The Last Prostitute" is the third and last full-length studio album by Dutch death/thrash metal act Decision D, before they disbanded in 1995. The album was released through Dark Horse in 1995. It´s the successor to "Moratoria" from 1993. Decision D formed in 1986 and released the "Testimony of Faith" demo in 1990 and the "Testimony on Stage" live demo in 1991 before being signed for the release of their debut full-length studio album "Razón de la muerte" (1992).

Stylistically "The Last Prostitute" features a sound which is a continuation of the technical death/thrash metal style of "Moratoria", but a little more groovy and not quite as complex and focused on technical playing as the successor was. Which should of course not be understood as if "The Last Prostitute" isn´t a technically well played album, featuring loads of tempo changes, technical drumming, sharp technical guitar riffs, and the ever odd vocals by Edwin Ogenio, who seems to have scaled back his most deep death metal growling in favor of a raw thrash metal styled vocal attack (although the growling vocals appear on occasion). He still breaks out in vocal weirdness from time to time, but it´s a little more restrained compared to the vocals on the first two albums.

"The Last Prostitute" is a well produced release, featuring a sound production which helps the material shine. The tracks sound powerful, sharp, and every detail is audible in the mix. "The Last Prostitute" is a technical thrash metal release for those who want to challenge themselves with something a little different. Decision D arguably ended up releasing a couple of pretty unique sounding albums in the genre, and this is one of them. A 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.
