Band: Combat Title: Ruination
Nationality: American
Year: 2007
Production: That's Heavy Records
was in 1984 when the Rossbach brothers, Rex and Jeff decided to start a band together. A year later, with the arrival of Bob Eubank, the band was ready Combat were born. For more, perhaps, the first name does not say much. To make you understand better, suffice it to say that the Combat , after not a lot, changed their name to Napalm, and it is with that name that they released the EP Bootcamp (being considered as the pioneers of Thrash made in NY.)
years pass and you get to 2007, when the three find themselves reforming Combat : reunion that leads to the realization of Ruination , written and recorded as a true continuation of Bootcamp.
Unlike many bands who play old school Thrash with a decidedly modern production, the Combat agreed to be bound in all respects to the school of the '80s. And 'why Ruination is a concentration of Thrash / Hardcore direct riffs with sharp, quick and deadly rhythm section, and a production dirty enough.
veritable manifesto of the album is the title track, where more than anywhere else, you can understand what is the spirit of Combat . There are, of course, other excellent tracks, like opener Corrupt Destruct , The Reign is Over (trace a direct child of the '70s punk) and Blades of Death .
We can safely say that if in the copyrights of Ruination there were 1984 or 1985 or even 1986 instead of 2007, no one would have no objection. Though released only two years ago, this album is played as if in those years, by musicians who lived through those years in good shape (just listen to Bootcamp capirecosa'm saying), for whom, in the fabulous 80s, spent the little gold. If you consider yourself Thrashers, listen Combat must become a duty.
