As death metal becomes more outlandish, with bands sounding like jazz from Mars solving equations in trigonometry, Master continues undeterred in the opposite direction: No one needs a calculator to understand it and easily comprehensible from the first listen. Master was a 1980s demo band in the Chicago area, U.S. and in 1990 the debut album was issued by Nuclear Blast. Since then there are some 15 official studio albums, and Master has been based in the Czech Republic for the last 20 years or so. As a cult band in the genre, Master is known for consistent albums with sociopolitical lyrics, growled but comprehensible vocals, a Motörhead-and-Venom vinegar energy muscled up into death metal groovy heaviness. Master comes across as headbanging, no-nonsense, mosh pit tunes. The new album provides an entertaining listen in oldie death metal. While it may be amazing to see a show featuring three-neck guitars played by spider-fingered guitarists dazzling audiences with neobaroque freeform new age postdjent jazzgestalt hautecouture vanmalmsteenianvaisms, Master speaks the universal language of the mosh pit. Sometimes caviar and cuisses de grenouille will not satisfy. Sometimes we need meat and potatoes, and a couple of beers, and that's the bottom line about Master because Stone Cold said so.
