BELOW IS A REVIEW




Derision – Ancient.
December 21 2011 | Posted by Dennis Jarman | | CD DVD Book Reviews Tags: Ancient, Derision



Clocking in at just under 50mins,the debut cd from Bolton/Wigan based thrashers Derision pulls no punches from the mauling riffs of opener Pain Of Conviction to the lightspeed buzzsaw riffs of closing track Final Solution.Quite simply,as debut albums go, the quality of material here is on a par with Burn My Eyes by Machine Head.

Not a second is wasted and Derision have an arsenal of songs here for a storming live set. Ancient is chock full of catchy but brutal riffing from guitarist Eddie White and bassist Seddy but what nails the album for me is the vocal delivery from Tony Smith, very much in the vein of Max Cavalera/Karl Middleton and the powerhouse drumming of John Mellor has to be heard to be believed!

Its difficult to pinpoint highlights from the album as its an adrenaline rush from start to finish. Every one of the 9 songs are hammered out with conviction but my 2 favourite tracks are the longest ones. Lasting over 6 minutes each, A Path Complete can compete with Exodus with its measured riffing and The Ancients (the video of which can be seen on youtube) which opens with a slamming riff before segueing into a stop/start breakdown halfway in then returning to the original riff. Classic thrash!

Ancient follows Derision’s self titled 4 track ep. Released in 2009, it met with reviews to inspire the band to write more material and Ancient was released on Nov.26th 2011 and can be bought from their website, Reverbnation or Facebook pages.

I award Ancient 9.5/10

Hi were DERISION members:- Tony Smith (Vocals), Eddie White (Guitars), John Mellor (Drums) and Seddy (Bass). They are an intense and energetic metal band from the north west of England.

"Ancient" their debut album, released in November 2011,recorded and mixed at Urbansound Studios and mastered at Parlour Studios with legendary producer Russ Russell (Napalm Death, Dimmu Borgir) is a massive natural progression from the EP. 9 tracks of metal from a band in full flow, with catchy hooks and aggressive riffs to get heads moving along with tempos to get the blood flowing.

The video for the song "The Ancients" taken from the album, airs on SCUZZ tv, gives you a prime example of what this band is capable of! It has also been aired on Kerrang radio along with many other stations world wide.

2012 saw DERISION hit venues across the UK and Bloodstock, You can purchase the debut album "Ancient" at our store website http://www.derisionband.com/store.php

Dennis Jarman-Planet Mosh

Terrorizer
“The quartet ,armed with their testament riffs and vio-lence tone, "The Ancients"a barrage of early 80,s thrash riffs coupled with the borderline death metal sound that gave the teutonic bands their edge.As far as modern thrash goes this is rather a promising start,shying away from the pastiche and going for the jugular.”

“Ancient is the debut album from English thrashers Der is io n, which was released last November. With their first album, Derision makes a strong statement to the British metal scene and impose themselves as the best new thrash band we have heard in a while.”
Peek from the pit

“Good thrashing metal. This is what the UK scene has been missing on the ground level and Derision have risen to fill that hole.”
James - Metal junkie
