| ____________________________________ [Apr 22,2011 3:32pm - RichHorror ""] With The Lost Album, Deathamphetamine continue their genre-bending sojourn with ten tracks of aural intensity. Blurring the lines between metal and punk, they manage to take catchy rock hooks and brutalize them into unrelenting blast-laden thrash metal. While they may wear their influences (and their Trekkerdom) on their sleeves, Deathampetamine’s The Lost Album is a welcome rarity in a galaxy of monotony. The album has the tongue-in-cheek sense of humor one might expect from punk rock. This is established immediately during the obligatory intro track, which features a goofy montage of lo-fi samples off of a cassette. The samples give way to a minute and a half of blistering metal, setting the pace for the rest of the album. Tracks are generally short, reminiscent in structure of eighties crossover thrash/thrash punk. They hit you hard and leave you wanting more. Taking from such disparate sources as Bay Area thrash, early American hardcore, heavy metal, black metal, and death metal, Deathamphetamine is one of those rare bands that can blend many obvious influences into cohesive and original music. Tracks like “Dactyl Nightmare” squeeze brutal death metal riffage, and d-beat style hardcore into a punishing minute and a half. “More Sauce for the Goose” opens with Exhumed-like grinding before transitioning into a section of octave-chord American hardcore. And, while it might sound like the riffs are all over the place, every transition is seamless. That cohesiveness is a testament to Deathamphetamine’s musicianship and songwriting. The impeccable drumming leaves no transitional awkwardness, the songs are thought out and the playing is tight. The vocals also lend themselves well to the cross-genre experience. Blackened raspy vocals dominate, but are balanced with guttural lows, an occasional falsetto and a couple of moments of gruff singing. Throughout The Lost Album, Deathampetamine set themselves apart from the often generic bands coming out of the current resurgence in thrash metal. Their genuine sense of humor is certainly not a shoddy attempt to cover up regurgitated Metallica riffs. And when you reach the end, and you find yourself rocking out to a super secret Misfits cover, you may be surprised, but chances are you will listen to The Lost Album over and over again. --Eric Struth |

| ____________________________________ [Apr 22,2011 3:43pm - RichHorror ""] Ok, you asked for it. According to Scott-- It is an astronaut that returns to Earth after traveling through space at faster than light speed so when he comes back to earth it is far in the future and he hasn't aged at all due to all that physics shit that I can't remember right now. The earth he finds only contains mutated cannibal humans and is completely destroyed. So he wanders the earth trying to find the reason for mankind's destruction and he takes shelter in this burned out basement and finds this tape recorder that has our album on it. And our songs about the future destruction of mankind are all he can find as far as evidence for mankind's destruction. |

| ______________________________________ [Apr 22,2011 5:10pm - saxlbeckett ""] The album was actually lost when my computer got stolen from my apartment. In this alternate reality the cops never found it in some crackhead's basement and I never got it back and it ends up being the the number one album of the post apocalyptic future where the is only one guy who can listen to it. |
