Riding the wave of 80s nostalgia, DEATH WARRANT's latest album "Extasy" is an unapologetic homage to the decadent excesses of the decade.
From the opening track "Neon Nights" to the closing ballad "Tears on the Dancefloor," this album is a rollercoaster of synth-driven soundscapes and bombastic beats.
Lead singer Luna Starlight's vocals soar effortlessly over the pulsating rhythms, channeling the spirit of icons like Pat Benatar and Cyndi Lauper.
The band's infectious energy is impossible to resist, making it near impossible not to dance along to tracks like "Electric Dreams" and "Midnight Madness." But what sets DEATH WARRANT apart from the myriad of 80s revival bands is their fearless experimentation with genre boundaries.
From the electro-pop sensibilities of "Starman" to the heavy metal guitar riffs of "Rock 'n' Roll Rebels," the band fearlessly pushes the envelope, creating a sound that is uniquely their own.
However, "Extasy" is not without its missteps.
The over-reliance on nostalgia could leave some listeners craving a bit more originality.
And the lyrics, while catchy, can sometimes veer into cliché territory.
Overall, DEATH WARRANT's "Extasy" is a fun, quirky ride that will transport you back to the neon-lit dancefloors of the 80s.
So grab your legwarmers and hairspray, and get ready to party like it's 1985.
