Zerre
“Rotting on a
Golden Throne”
Dying Victims
Prod. 2026
There you go.
Once again, I come across a band that has three full-lenght albums in its
discography, but only their fourth one has reached me. Zerre are guys from
Bavaria. It is well known that Bavaria is famous for Oktoberfest. And what is
the best thing to listen to while drinking beer? Old-school thrash, of course.
And even better if that thrash is spiced up with flammable genres such as punk
or hardcore, creating a well-known and beloved mixture called crossover. Man,
how I love this kind of music! First of all, because here a riff chases a riff,
melody intertwines with melody, and the energy flowing from each subsequent
composition explodes right in your face. The main advantage of the music
created by Zerre is its above-average looseness. Everything flows so naturally
that it makes you want to dance, bang your head, or break into a wild dance,
whether in your own room or in front of the stage of a small club. The guys
serve us so much joy on these recordings that your pants fall off your ass.
Everything here goes together and works like in a Swiss watch. Excellent
melodies, razor-sharp chords, old-school heavy metal solos, and solid, rough
vocals, oscillating somewhere between the aforementioned genres. The gentlemen
beautifully reference the classics of the genre in their work, yet they do not
steal from them at all, putting the puzzle together in their own way, but with
the same determination as the once widely known dinosaurs. The vocals on this
album are excellent. Expressive, aggressive, and often entering into choruses
or shouting over each other in dialogues, so typical of the eighties, well,
fucking poetry. In terms of sound, I have no questions either. Classic, analog,
not digital. Zerre is dynamite. Music that has so much energy and joy in
playing that for every fan of S.O.D. or D.R.I.-style crossovers, it will be
like finding their dream gift under the Christmas tree by a little child. Great vibes. I
have nothing more to add.
