How to begin this review? Well, actually Back In Blood, the new album of the German Groovedeathers DEBAUCHERY would be an 8 point album. So why did it receive only 6 points? That’s very simple. In first line it’s the guilt of their record label AFM Records! The promo copy of Back In Blood starts like this: Two songs as full versions, namely Lords Of Battle and Back In Blood. And these two tracks are really great and show the reason so many fans call DEBAUCHERY the German answer to Six Feet Under. But after that my dilemma begins! Lords Of Battle sounds for the second time and suddenly it turns into Baptise This World In Blood. Then it works like this until the end of the promo copy! There my fun ends! There are 30 - 40 seconds left per song. I don’t really know how to review an album in case the record company works against me as a journalist. The finished version of Back In Blood contains a bonus CD including seven cover versions. The following songs of other artists have been covered: Heavy Duty (Judas Priest), Kings Of Metal (Manowar), You Got Me Rocking (???), War Is Coming (Six Feet Under), I Can’t Dance (Genesis), Weißes Fleisch (Rammstein) and 8 Days A Week (Beatles). The last three songs are also on the promo copy. And to be honest, none of them can make me smile. This means one point less because of the shortened songs and another one point less because of the stupid cover versions!
