Our Take

In the cluttered landscape of heavy metal, Corroded's latest release, "Defcon Zero," stands out like a sore thumb – and not necessarily in a good way. The Swedish group's attempt at a post-apocalyptic concept album falls flat, lacking the coherence and depth needed to truly captivate listeners.

From the opening track, "Fall of a Nation," it's clear that Corroded is attempting to create an epic narrative. Unfortunately, the execution is ham-fisted, with clumsy lyrics and uninspired melodies that fail to leave a lasting impression. The band's attempts at social commentary feel clichéd and overdone, making it difficult to take their message seriously.

Musically, "Defcon Zero" is a mishmash of styles that never quite gel. The band's blending of thrash metal, hard rock, and even a touch of industrial feels disjointed and unfocused. While there are moments of technical proficiency, they are overshadowed by a lack of cohesion and originality.

Overall, Corroded's "Defcon Zero" is a swing and a miss. While the band may have had noble intentions with their ambitious concept, the execution leaves much to be desired. Fans of the band's previous work may find something to enjoy, but for the uninitiated, this album is unlikely to make much of an impact.
