- Release Notes
COMBAT have been around since the early days of metal...but due to bad luck
and tons of problems this is the bands first full length album. This is the
record that I thought would NEVER reach the light of fucking day has finally
been released. COMBAT are back with an old -school attack of mixing the music
of SACRED REICH with the lyrics of AT WAR.
This album is divided up like it's a combination of two EP's...the first four
songs here are themed around the havoc that the advancement of technology has
saddled humanity with. The other five songs here are pretty much in "At War"
territory, concentrating on high-speed thrashing and war-themed lyrics except
for "Outbred" which, lyrically, sounds like the kind of movie that The SciFi
Channel would show at 3 a.m. on a Sunday morning. Musically "RuiNation"
sounds like it crawled out of a dark cave from the late eighties...the album
has that old-school thrash metal sound to it while it remains relevant to the
present time.
The guitar work of Jeff Rossbach sounds raw and dry (and also rips the fuck
out during the solos) while the vocals of Bob Eubank are delivered in a
shouting/barking matter which not only fits the material but makes the album
sound more like a crossover band (which is how Combat started out) beefed up
for todays metal fans. The bass and drums (courtesy of Eubank and Rex
Rossbach) make sure that the material never gets to slow to get boring or too
fast that it becomes a mess. "RuiNation" is a study in controlled chaos.
The only problems I had with this album are that it is kind of short (9 songs
in under 35 minutes in length) and some of the material isn't as strong as
the rest of the songs. "Fortune Of Torture" is alright but does nothing for
me while "Rat On Wings" is decent, but reminded me WAY too much of AT WAR's
song "Capitulation" (from "Ordered To Kill") during the chorus...not COMBAT's
fault, but this song wasn't doing it for me either. Fortunatley the album
starts strong and ends strong, "Temporal Punishment" being nothing short of
beastly when it comes to speed and precision.
This is, honestly, COMBAT at their best. Where the bands other albums
(avaliable through the band themselves) relied on re-worked lyrics to old
music and songs (which was fine for a band trying to re-establiush
themselves) "RuiNation" is the result of the hard work these guys have done
since they reunited in 2002 and they will surley put any naysayers to rest
with this slab of thick, uncompromising thrash metal. THIS IS MANDATORY IF
YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF A THRASH METAL FAN!
