░█ █░ ▀
█ Why being so bleak about everything? There have █
█ been plenty of nowadays party goers that have been █
█ asking this infuriating question all the time █
█ without even stopping to think that there might be █
█ a cause for austerity. I agree that basing life █
█ upon fears and paranoia regarding a possible █
█ ending, a wholesome failure of the system and █
█ collapse of the human society, maybe be the █
█ foundation of a future brain damage. On the other █
█ hand, one should always be watchful, take hold of █
█ reality and stick with it as not everything may █
█ seem cheery as the modern day flower people would █
█ like to believe. Being constantly reminded that we █
█ are living in a big jungle of people, where the █
█ system isnÆt always in oneÆs favor, the Brazilian █
█ Thrash Metal masterminds of WOSLOM, assumingly █
█ well educated in their societyÆs evolution █
█ process, share their pains and doctrines with █
█ their sophomore distribution of ôEvolustructionö. █
█ Packed with diverse views, WOSLOM sought to █
█ establish their own version of Thrash Metal, █
█ delivering comprehensive material, which might be █
█ influenced by North American Bay Area, █
█ particularly MEGADETH and METALLICA, I was deeply █
█ grabbed by the sophistication music and practical █
█ precision at executing their vision. █
█ It was a little difficult at first of not thinking █
█ if WOSLOM would be another Brazilian band with an █
█ inner wish to retain the old SEPULTURA grandeur █
█ out of the darkest pits of the earth. Fortunately █
█ that WOSLOM took upon themselves the decision of █
█ not attempting to patch old wounds (what can I say █
█ SEPLUTURA as one of Brazilian leading Thrash bands █
█ lost itself after 1991 just like METALLICA when it █
█ lost its marbles after 1990), but to head out and █
█ achieve something different. ôEvolustructionö, █
█ though at the get go wasnÆt that easy to █
█ comprehend since it isnÆt what you would refer to █
█ as a smooth sailing release, peaked my interest █
█ mainly due to its constant movement, never a dull █
█ moment, nothing too obvious, a chaos within an █
█ ordered structure. I wouldnÆt necessarily refer █
█ this band as a progressive Thrash act like HADES █
█ or WATCHTOWER, yet WOSLOM havenÆt been out there █
█ just to merely thrash the place up with fist load █
█ of force like the most of them. With █
█ ôEvolustructionö I sensed an old hunger and █
█ conviction that eventually formulated their chosen █
█ path. Letting an artistic nature to plunge in, in █
█ favor of yet another piece of Thrash memorability, █
█ WOSLOMÆs songwriting appeared to be smeared with █
█ nonconformity towards the old genre, paralleling █
█ features of both old and new school Thrash that █
█ resulted in considerably ambiguous song █
█ structures, creative riffery, exceptional lead █
█ guitar work, carving with harmonies and incredible █
█ soloing and a pulsating flair of rhythmic █
█ compositions. By all means, with their █
█ progressivism, WOSLOM still maintained a █
█ bewildered Thrash imagery as bashing skulls is █
█ still a part of the deal. █
█ As I stumbled upon the fierce attacks of ôNo Last █
█ Chanceö, ôBreathless (Justice's Fall)ö and █
█ ôEvolustructionö (better his extended version at █
█ number 10), it might wasnÆt the truest form of █
█ Thrash as it is widely known, but it had a reek of █
█ freshness, clever diversity and enough brutality █
█ to go around. ôNew Faithö recapped the old wrath █
█ fling of old Thrash into ignition along with the █
█ bandÆs inventive antics. Furthermore, right before █
█ ending this chapter, the ôEvolustructionö sound █
█ engineering provided the album with the rightful █
█ character, maintaining the old Thrash sound █
█ pattern yet with sharp and polished sound made by █
█ modern means, a great contribution for the albumÆs █
█ abilities to inspire while listening. In a █
█ nutshell, WOSLOM produced a fine revelation, █
█ clutching Thrash Metal and shaping it up to become █
█ more relevant. █
