Destination Destruction is SATAN’S FALL’s 2nd album. This band from Finland delivers a heavy, 2-guitar, 8 song killer album. Full of big riffs, memorable melodic rockers, and anthems, and just a powerful sound with the production & mix. The first 2 singles “Lead The Way” & “Afterglow” were cool, but favorites here gotta be “Monster’s Ball” with it’s soft guitar built up intro before the band comes in, delivering a great melodic rocker (as light as it gets here), “No Gods, No Masters” with interesting little guitar intro (reminiscent of Saxon’s “Crusader”), before the band kicks in to a faster rocker, there’s a spoken word bit which I presume tells part of the story, and the last track is perhaps the best one here – “Dark Star”, some of this (guitar solo/melody) remind me of Neil Young’s “Like A Hurricane”, but dig this track. These guys even recorded a couple of covers as bonus tracks – one being a theme to a German TV show, and the other being the ‘Power Rangers’ TV show theme! Prior to 2020’s Final Day album, Satan’s Fall had released a few singles & EPs since 2016 – one of which included a decent metalized take of Kenny Loggins’ hit “Danger Zone”!
This is my favorite metal album lately, no bum tracks to skip over, a great listen all the eway through. Recommended to fans of Saxon, Helloween, Grave Digger, and and latter day Judas Priest. Looking forward to getting the actually LP.
