Airlines Of Terror - Terror From The Air
With a description as wide as can be including death ‘n’ roll, grindcore and general rock, Italy’s Airlines Of Terror set themselves up for a mix of styles that wouldn’t in any “normal” state of mind go together on one release. So before pressing play, there was a level of excitement. Granted, the first track gives an immediate impression, it is not necessarily one of massive favourable admiration. The tracks progress and are musically entertaining, challenging and precise is the main quality.
A thrashier track like ‘Pedophiliac Skyjacking’ works marginally, improved with the djent element later, the raucous technical assault of ‘Wings Red Kaput (Swin Swing Kaput)’ works a touch more, but the precision of the death tinged approach works out the best as this displays the level of musicianship. In keeping with the style, intricate guitar patterns coexist with battering drum assaults, for this check out ‘U.F.O.= Tesla’ that for me stands out far more than most of the album.
However, for as musically proficient and technical this release is, for me there needs be a touch more structure as the numerous influences and styles of songs from one to another makes you think this is a compilation album by different artists, not just a first album in five years from one single band. As such this will most likely suit the mp3 generation as you can skip through a lot of the tracks you don’t want to hear, which is a shame as it is a loss of the complete album listening experience.
