Show Notes:
Episode Twenty-Seven: We discuss one of the biggest stylistic changes for German thrash band Deathrow. They released a pummelling thrasher with 1987's Raging Steel, then made this drastic leap into technical thrash with Deception Ignored in 1989. Many consider this a masterpiece of technical thrash ranking it up there with Heathen's Victims of Deception, and Metallica's...And Justice For All.
Much of the credit goes out to the inclusion of new guitarist Uwe Osterlehner who helped steer the band into a more progressive approach. This did cause some in-fighting with the band, due to some members not appreciating the change in style. Deception took the band into a highly technical direction of complex riffs and longer songs. The approach presented challenging compositions and a very ambitious new style.
Fun Facts: The album was remastered in 2018 and also included an extra track called Bureaucrazy.
