Holy fucken shit. Lay down that bong, and pay attention for a minute. For nearly three fucken decades Paul Speckmann has been crushing skulls and taking names, and there is no sign of this old dog fucken slowing down. Do you know who fucken made Nuclear Blast the label it is today? Not Tuomas’ Midlife Crisis, erm, Nightwish – but fucken Paul Speckmann. So what does Master sound like on their 12th (!) fucken album? Like Master, you glue-sniffing dipshits – what did you expect? Speckmann will never cave into fucken dumb trends. Unlike you he has fucken character and integrity. By Odin, I can’t believe this band is still so fucken unheard of. Maybe it’s the style that never really ever was in fashion, or the fact that Speckmann just doesn’t give a fuck either way. For those of you who never heard Master, they sound a lot like old Death, say circa “Leprosy” but more thrashy. I’ve never really followed Master, but I’ve always respected Speckmann. If there’s one unsung hero, this is the fucken one. Just saying. Odin knows good traditional death metal is really fucken hard to find these days, so a record like “The Witchhunt” is a fucken breather. No shit, just death metal, plain and simple. Geez, it is fucken refreshing to listen to. No wank solos, no fucken pointless technical showmanship, no overblown synthetics, no moronic slams or fruity female vocals. No. This is fucken death metal in its purest, unadulterated form. Forget all those stupid retro bands on trendy labels that all the stupid kids and hipster douchebags like. Master is the fucken genuine article. Yeah, I wish there were more bands like this. Confident, rugged and comfortable in the creative niche which they have fucken chosen. Shit, dudes. I can’t believe I have to fucken explain this. Master writes actual songs, you know. I don’t fucken care how many notes you can fucken play, or how long you can blast, or how many strings your stupid guitar has. I want fucken songs. So yeah, fucken Speckmann moved to the Czech Republic ages ago, and his beard continues to fucken grow. For fuck’s sake, there should be more bands like this. Unlike a lot of contemporary bands the lyrics are actually worth reading, as they deal with social – and politically relevant topics. Yeah, fuck you too – intelligent lyrics in death metal are as rare as good bands on Sumerian or Sevared Records. As always it takes an old man to teach the dumb kids how it is supposed to be done. Get off my lawn. I might be fucken drunk right now, but I can still whoop your sorry ass. Instead of sniffing glue, and fucking your inbred sister, you’d better get your fat ass over to the next Master show, you sad sacks of shit. Unlike certain Tampa, Florida bands Speckmann never missed a beat and just plows onward, uncaring and free. This is the sort of album that makes me fucken glad to be a media critic. So if you stupid kids and hipster douchebags don’t like it, all I have to say it: fuck off and die.
