KOMMANDO - Distroyer / Iron Goat Triumph

Kommando – Distroyer / Iron Goat Triumph (2016, self-released)

Black Metal meets crust punk from Germany is the anthem of Kommando, a side-project of Dysangelium and Endstille members. And just as Crust goes they mock up with song titles with many puns like replacing the ‘’u’’ for ‘’v’’ and with titles like ‘’Old and In The Way’’ and ‘’Bitching Hour’’ someone with a little knowing of Metal in general will get it.

The music is well executed and in fact refreshing for its embrace of both genres with a very loud production. It compensate for the fact that it is more or less clear that the band is a joke or not by making such big puns and obvious references. If this is the case, then the hype rest momentarily and will mark a time. Otherwise, the blend of both genres isn’t that new both it is solid.

Overall, this is an album that passes well and is more than ok. It is a party anthem as well and seems like a great band to fill in a festival lineup and it will probably leave a gerat impression on its audience. I would be surprised if the music gets all its sense in a live environment with beers and hundreds of heads banging.
