A review of Lucille “Dawn of Destruction”

 

Lucille

“Dawn of Destruction”

Dying Victims Prod. 2025

 


Florian seems to have taken a liking to our country, because every now and then he digs up tasty morsels from our backyard. One can only be surprised that it is an outsider who does this, and not the owners of our national labels. The fact is that Lucille is another representative of the trend, which is not very popular (read: financially unprofitable), because the guys mentally turn to the eighties, even though they were not even in the world then. However, this doesn't stop them from creating music so strongly old-school that many would be fooled into thinking that “Dawn of Destruction” is some long-forgotten or overlooked album from forty years ago. To put it briefly and to the point, the debut of our compatriots is just over forty minutes of speed / thrash metal. Completely not innovative, based on known and proven patterns, while at the same time so thrilling that your panties fall off your ass. The individual tracks on this album are somewhat bounced off the template, as they are kept at a similar pace and similarly arranged. What makes up for this, however, is the wealth of rousing riffs, dance-inducing melodies and high class oldschool solos. The vocals are also a style from the past, that is, rough singing interspersed with entrances to higher registers. All of this is done with extraordinary care, flowing straight from the heart with sincerity and devotion to the music that shaped people's consciousness decades ago. Fuck, listening to such recordings makes me wonder how people who could be my children feel in a similar way to me about the sounds that are the underpinnings of the heavier metal genres. It's damned gratifying to hear. Lucille are proof that the old school of thrash/speed metal is immortal, and even if some people have long since written it off, there are still bands emerging from the underground,  proving that this flame is still burning. I won't break down this album into parts. I'll just say this much - “Dawn of DEstruction” is music for geeks of old. Music that rejuvenates and makes us once again feel like giving someone a slap, just for not listening to metal. I am absolutely in. Thanks guys!
