Does Metal get any truer than Deceased?

"How King Fowley and Co. can continually outshine themselves album after album is a complete mystery to me. There are no ups & downs with this band; each progressing album is a new development and evolution in the sound and mythos of Deceased! Propelling beyond mere labels, Deceased can now only be categorized as Metal, for no sub-genre can contain the flamboyant nature of the band's evolution! With the escalating integration of classic Metal stimuli, the band honestly stands on its own and proudly displays its denim-clad heritage. Supernatural Addiction, the band's latest endeavor, openly exhibits King's adoration for the bizarre and unexplainable, as portrayed in retellings of familiar myths & legends of both the print world and film universe. Continuing the anthem-like songwriting style last heard on 1997's Fearless Undead Machines, Deceased propagates more spellbinding guitar harmonies while spinning yarns of ghosts, possessed dolls and other subjects that the human subconscious dare not relinquish! It is this quality that grants the album a book-like impression, for each song is the sonic translation of a pre-existing story. Leave it to Mr. Fowley to turn Man's fears and superstitions into Heavy Metal anthems! Upon completion of the album, I must pose one question, does Metal get any truer than Deceased?"
Their best album yet!

"I don't know how, but this album is their best release yet! I had always thought "Luck of the Corpse" was their best release, but I am pleased to say I was wrong! Every true metal fan should pay homage to King and co. for continuing to put out such fine material as this. So many great 80's influences here, from Voivod to Possessed to Kreator to Maiden, it's a true treat to listen to. Great solos, great song structure, and my man, King Fowley, leading the way. Definately worth the purchase!!!"
A thrash band that deserve their respect.

"Deceased is a band that plays thrash at its purest with originality and the passion that you can actullie feel it, making it look real and not poser or wannabe like, at all. For any one into straight thrash with passion and true sounds? I recommend."
Classic metal

"Deceased can no longer be classified as a death metal band. Maybe they began their illustrious career as one, but now they just play straightforward, jarring heavy metal... and Supernatural Addiction is their best disc yet. King Fowley's vocals sound better than they ever have, a vast improvement from the nonsensical gargle prominent on past releases. He takes a stand (or seat?) as a fine metal vocalist, powering excellent thrashy traditional based songs with gruff vocals. Those epic song structures showcased on Fearless Undead Machines are almost gone. SA consists of 8 concise metal anthems, with great melodic leads and catchy guitar work. Imagine a mix of Iron Maiden and mid 80s Kreator.The Premonition is just a fine track, a true metal anthem, and my favorite along with the Doll With the Hideous Spirit and Elly's Dementia. As usual, the lyrical base is horror, and nobody does it better than the originals. Deceased truly rules, and this album proves that beyond a shadow of a doubt."
