UMUR
"Tragedy Strikes" is the 2nd full-length studio album by US, Chicago based thrash metal act Abomination. The album was released through Nuclear Blast Records in 1991. It features the exact same lineup who recorded the self-titled debut album from 1990. Abomination was a relatively short lived thrash metal project that Master frontman/bassist Paul Speckmann had while also running Master.

Stylistically the material on "Tragedy Strikes" continues the raw thrash metal style of the debut album. It´s pretty basic and mostly mid-paced thrash metal which is decent enough, but nothing out of the ordinary. The sound production is not the most powerful considering that this was released in 1991, and there´s just little on the album which pull my rating in a positive direction. And that includes the musicianship, which again is decent enough, but not more than that.

So this is in most ways a standard quality thrash metal album, which isn´t particularly memorable beyond it´s playing time. It´s not as such a bad quality release, but there is generally not much to say about it, because so little of the album sticks out and makes an impression. Those familiar with early Master and Deathstrike can more or less expect a pale version of those artists. A 3 star (60%) rating is warranted.

The song Blood for Oil stood out on this album, but not much else.
