Blending the narrative lyrical styles of traditional metal and the riffs and grooves of thrash and modern metal styles. listener to delve deep into their emotions
As soon as the listener presses that button, the opening piece Burn the Truth, welcomes the listener with warm welcoming melodic riffs and heart-pounding beats, then quickly shifts to aggressive energy.
The listener continues their excursion with the second piece, The Rock, and the remaining six compositions, which touch on themes such as human feelings, pain, psychological well-being, and grief, and also make allusions to past and present occurrences.
In ‘Til the Enemies are Gone music showcases a rough, gritty, unattractive, speedy, anthem-like, and direct classic power/thrash metal sound. Decimator delivers a sound that is deeply blended, transporting the audience to the classic metal era when music was harsh, fast, and seemed to emerge from the depths of hell.

Now, this varies based on the listener, Decimator‘s album ‘Til The Enemies are Gone may perceive a blend of power metal, traditional metal, thrash/groove, and modern metal elements in the music. Within the confines of the music, I also sensed elements of the fierce aggression of the punk group Anti-Nowhere League, the intense energy of early German band Accept. I also sensed characteristics of dark, melodious guitar riffs of Iron Maiden mixed with some classic heavy metal. The production is the key factor that makes the sound exciting and energizing, with a modern approach to production while still maintaining a raw and edgy framework throughout the thirty-minutes.
Decimator‘s album ‘Til The Enemies are Gone provides the listener with this forbidden fruit of art release, and a fruit of art devilmanship to go with it. A devilmanship that enriches the listener’s soul with a mix of instrumental and vocal elements of this fruit of art composition/scoring. A musical score packed with intense guitar riffs, dark harmonies, and powerful solos, along with dynamic beats, aggression, and raw energy flowing throughout the piece. The powerful mix of instruments, vocals, and compositions create a highly intense auditory experience, causing listeners to bob their heads and pump their fists to the music’s sheer raw power.

The Last Three Sins
Let’s discuss the last three sins of Decimator and their album, Til the Enemies Are Gone
The Fifth Sin, The Memorabilia:
When we looked at Decimator‘s artwork, we expected something symphonic and epic, but we were pleasantly surprised by the raw-punk and epic-power/thrash music thrown at us. Music that kept us energized and engaged. It made us bang our heads and pump our fists to their loud and aggressive anthem music vibrating through our speakers.
The sound of the third composition brings to mind the energetic UK pirate metal band Alestorm. Regarding the fourth song, named Phantoms, it is particularly appealing to me because it combines traditional heavy metal features with a rough and sharp edge, along with a slower pace.
The Sixth Sin, The Artwork:
The artwork is grim and intense… It corresponds with the band’s lyrical concept, but is much more suited for the third song, Legion.
The Seventh Sin, Disrelish:
Nothing to disrelish within the musical spectrum of Decimator and their album, ‘Til the Enemies are Gone. Therefore, this concludes Decimator and their album, ‘Til the Enemies are Gone review.
