3.7 great | Voivod STAFF | December 12th 18 | Destitute is one of the most interesting releases of this year with respect to the tech end of thrash and its amalgamation with other tech metal dialects, and rock in general. On the surface, Reign's debut full-length is reminiscent of an array of attributes. On occasion, rhythm guitars come real close to the craftsmanship of players like Jon Schaffer or James Hetfield, but the outfit's axemen draw inspiration mainly from dedicated tech metal bands, like Death, Coroner, Cynic, Megadeth, Nevermore etc. On their end, rhythm section, vocals and sound work (!!) do not fall behind on the said influences making for material of enduring replay value; the sole thing, however, that distances Destitute from sheer excellence, is a small yet perceivable gap of succinctness in song writing, a gap that's expected to close further on future releases, if everything else goes as planned. Favorite track: The Declaration of the Jungle. Stream: http://reignchicago.bandcamp.com/album/destitute
