Since 1997, DESTRUKTOR have been proudly flying the flag for Australian extreme metal. While quite often do their recordings come within large gaps of time - their second album, Opprobrium, was released back in 2015 - these Aussie tyrants have been patiently honing a sound that seethes with the war-metalled fire their homeland’s world renowned for, yet over the years finessed with an acute attention to propulsive, immediately memorable songcraft. Black metal, death metal, thrash, “war metal,“ whatever: DESTRUKTOR are their own paradigm by now, and it is eternal.
Such is the case with their long-awaited third album, Indomitable. All-too-perfectly titled, Indomitable sounds like it could’ve come at any point in DESTRUKTOR’s quality-over-quantity career: eight stout tracks of scathing, surging, no-nonsense extreme metal. Lean and mean at 34 minutes just like its predecessor, Indomitable continues the band’s proverbial sharpening of blades; their fury still walks that fine line between chaos and control - neither too blackened, nor too deathly, nor “thrashing“ in any cliche way - but the clear-yet-crushing production amplifies tenfold their scabrous assault, making it somehow grittier and more gleaming in equal measure. It’s impossible not to get inexorably swallowed by the album’s slipstream: Indomitable is death in sonic format, bereft of belief, joy, and light.
Riff after riff, blast after blast, death after death, Indomitable is catchy-yet-unrelenting dark extreme metal for the dark and the darker. DESTRUKTOR are truly eternal.
