If you're into the raw, unfiltered aggression that war metal offers, this Triumph album is one you don’t want to miss. From the very first moments of "Abolishment Rites," you know you’re in for a brutal ride. Triumph takes on that signature black/death mix, packing it with relentless blasts, crushing midtempo breakdowns, and vocals that sound like they’ve been pulled straight from the deepest pits of wrath. The shrill, sandpaper guitars slice through the tracks, and there’s just the right amount of grit and heaviness in every note.
Sure, Triumph may echo the legendary sounds of Revenge or Conqueror, but that’s exactly what I’m here for. The influence of those bands is undeniable, yet Triumph brings its own fervor and execution that make it feel fresh, even if it follows a well-worn path. And while it's clear that the band doesn’t stray too far from the formula, the passion and intensity they deliver elevate it beyond mere imitation. There's even a hint of Black Witchery’s grimness in the vocals and a shadow of Angelcorpse lurking, which adds depth to the familiar assault.
The power in this album doesn’t let up, and every track hits with maximum force. By the time you reach the closer, "Genocide Command," you’re left scarred but satisfied, just as any good war metal record should leave you. If you're a fan of that blood-pumping, no-frills war metal sound, Triumph will hit all the right spots. And yes, this Triumph will certainly obliterate any memories of the old Canadian rock band—this is pure, merciless metal, no apologies given.
