Nightfall "Lesbian Show" Cassette

Before I start writing anything else about Lesbian Show I have to be honest and say that what Nightfall had done up to this, did not appeal to my music likes. So I didn’t expect that this release would blow me away, that’s for sure! By surpassing the limited boundaries of death metal, the band show their intentions to add to their sound more classic metal elements and a big dose of atmosphere without leaving aside the strength and heaviness that characterized previous material. The guitars riffs are catchier and the melody balances with a death metal feeling. The vocals have obtained more “color” but the harshness and aggressiveness are still there. All these are helped by the very good production.
The self-titled song that opens the album is a rhythmic, catchy metal dynamite with a beautiful riff and great vocal, yet still brutal, melodies. It surely is the albums hit and one of the best songs. The Secret Admirer and My own Troy are killing everyone who dares to defy them. Heavy as hell rhythm section, smashing drums and corrosive guitars are supporting Nightfall’s war-metal.
The best fucking moment of Lesbian Show is called Death Star. From the first note the song states that it’s here to thrill you and leave you shattered and breathless. Fantastic breaks, pounding, fast and technical at times drum playing turn this one into a war machine that annihilates false metal and crap like alternative. It is a metal demon that will haunt you for days once you hear it for the first time.
The remaining songs are also well composed although not so exciting as the foretold metal killers. They don’t prevent the album from keeping itself at a high level. My only objection is the track Lashed Augusth Reign that is not of much quality. Nightfall is a small band from a small country with a minor tradition in heavy metal. Yet they proved that deserved more and that they could have done better. My advice is that you enjoy this lesbian show but in the way Nightfall suggest.
