Well, the debut record from Retaliatory Measures sound indeed powerful, full of strength and emery-one could noticed a perfect and balanced mixture between death and thrash metal with polished yet bombastic production.
Anyway, Retaliatory Measures are directly coming from Finland which is very famous by many more melodic and softer bands, but this band namely Retaliatory Measures have one of the strongest influences that i was able to ever heard and check out. And, although that their main influences and bases comes from death metal I can also sense the style of Fear Factory in their style and some modern elements as well.
I cannot consider this band as traditional one, although that their song has this traditional and old-school elements too. Their music is rather bombastic with strong riffing with some riffing obviously very rooted in old ways.
Here and there, also one could hear some keyboards, mainly in the background, but yet I like them a lot since they are giving some specifiable moments to the atmosphere. They just give you even more push before the storm take us. And, the solos plus some acoustic parts are playing a big role in their sound, too.
So, after all, I can stay only wordless in the frost of such a great work. Retaliatory Measures have just shown to us that they have such a great potential to offer and with their debut offering ''Withdrawal Syndromes'' they broke all barriers!
