OXYGEN DESTROYER Spawned by the Horrors of Thermonuclear Warfare

Boxset / Compilation · 2022 · Thrash Metal
Cover art Buy this album from MMA partners
UMUR
"Spawned by the Horrors of Thermonuclear Warfare" is a compilation album by US, Seattle, Washington based death/thrash metal act Oxygen Destroyer. The compilation was released through Sewer Rot Records in July 2022. It bridges the gap between Oxygen Destroyer´s second- and third full-length studio albums "Sinister Monstrosities Spawned by the Unfathomable Ignorance of Humankind" (2021) and "Guardian of the Universe" (2024).

The compilation features eight tracks and a total playing time of 22:50 minutes. The material is culled from various demos and split releases from the period 2015-2019. It´s not a compilation featuring all rarity/minor release tracks from Oxygen Destroyer, which is actually a bit weird since the playing time is so short. They could easilay have put the missing tracks from the period on the tracklist and still kept the album length under 30 minutes. The tracks which are missing are "Atomic Breath" from the 2015 debut demo and the 2017 one-track single song "Vanquished by the Unrelenting Devastation of the Celestial Behemoth". Other than those two tracks you get everything on this compilation recorded and released by Oxygen Destroyer in the 2015-2019 period except the material from their 2018 debut full-length studio album "Bestial Manifestations of Malevolence and Death". "Vanquished by the Unrelenting Devastation of the Celestial Behemoth" however appears on the debut album and "Atomic Breath" also appears in a re-recorded version, along with re-recorded versions of some of the tracks featured on this compilation.

Stylistically Oxygen Destroyer play a relentlessly aggressive death/thrash metal style with a rabid dog snarling vocalist in front. It´s a music style which was at its peak in the late 80s/early 90s with artists like Merciless, Demolition Hammer, and early Vader leading the pack. Since then there have from time to time appeared a new act playing the style, but Oxygen Destroyer are among the more prolific contemporary artists dedicated to playing death/thrash metal and they sound almost one to one like a band from the late 80s/early 90s period, both when it comes to compositional style, the performances, and the sound production choices.

The quality of the material featured on this compilation differs slightly. Not so much when it comes to the songwriting and the performances of the material, but when it comes to the production quality of the various tracks. It´s however predominantly "Relentless Desire for Nuclear Radiation" from the December 2015 demo, which stands out because of the crude, chaotic, and raw sounding demo production. The two other tracks from the same demo which are also included here, do no appear in the demo versions of the tracks, but instead in the re-recordings which were originally featured on the September 2016 "Saurian Warfare" split with Carnotaurus.

Upon conclusion "Spawned by the Horrors of Thermonuclear Warfare" is a good quality compilation of minor release tracks from the early period of Oxygen Destroyer´s discography, and although a few tracks are missing, you still get some great and raw early versions of tracks which would later appear in re-recorded form on "Bestial Manifestations of Malevolence and Death" and a few rarities too which the band never re-recorded. A 3.5 star (70%) rating is warranted.

OXYGEN DESTROYER Oxygen Destroyer vs. Power Beast: Pacific Devastation

Split · 2019 · Thrash Metal
Cover art Buy this album from MMA partners
UMUR
"Oxygen Destroyer vs. Power Beast: Pacific Devastation" is a split release between US, Seattle Washington based death/thrash metal act Oxygen Destroyer and US, Portland, Oregon based death/heavy metal act Power Beast. The split was released through Headsplit Records in October 2019. It´s a two-track split featuring one song by each artist.

Oxygen Destroyer had at this point released their debut full-length studio album "Bestial Manifestations of Malevolence and Death" (April 2018), but "Sons of the Necrobeast" is a track which is exclusive to this split (at least at the time of release). The "Septic Punishment" track from Power Beast is also exclusive to this split.

Oxygen Destroyer´s track continues the aggressive death/thrash metal of their preceding releases and you´ll find no surprises here if you´re familiar with those. Fast-paced, aggressive, and highly energetic death/thrash metal is on the menu. Power Beast is a different sounding act, playing a filthy, raw, and brutal old school death metal style. Both tracks are well produced, well composed, and well performed and a 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.

OXYGEN DESTROYER Category III Kaiju

UMUR
"Category III Kaiju" is a split release between US, Seattle Washington based death/thrash metal act Oxygen Destroyer and Canadian, Thunder Bay, Ontario based death/thrash metal act VHS. The split features two tracks from each artist. It´s an independent release from May 2019.

Both artists have chosen campy/B-horror movie lyrical subjects and images to support their aggressive and energetic death/thrash metal music styles. As far as I´ve been able to investigate the material from both artists are exclusive to this release (at least at the time of release). Oxygen Destroyer plays a deadly type of death/thrash metal with a snarling rabid dog vocalist in front, screaming chromatic solos, and a highly energetic playing style and pace, while VHS are slightly more death metal oriented but still has traces of brutal thrash metal and even a bit of grindcore in their sound.

The material from both artists is well produced, well composed, and well performed and "Category III Kaiju" is overall a high quality split release and a 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.

OXYGEN DESTROYER Vanquished by the Unrelenting Devastation of the Celestial Behemoth

Single · 2017 · Thrash Metal

UMUR
"Vanquished by the Unrelenting Devastation of the Celestial Behemoth" is a one-track digital single by US, Seattle, Washington based death/thrash metal act Oxygen Destroyer. The single was independently released in July 2017. I`m not 100% sure as I think the sound productions differ slightly between the two versions, but I think this is a different version of the song than the version featured on Oxygen Destroyer´s April 2018 debut full-length studio album "Bestial Manifestations of Malevolence and Death". It could be the same recording though, just tweaked a bit on the sound production side.

Needless to say Oxygen Destroyer are very consistent in sound and style, and "Vanquished by the Unrelenting Devastation of the Celestial Behemoth" is just another great example of their relentlessly aggressive and highly energetic type of death/thrash metal. Early Vader and Demolition Hammer are often mentioned among the influences, and I can hear those influences too. The track is well produced and the raw, powerful, and brutal sound production further enhances the impact of the song on the listener. These guys know what they do and they do it well. A 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.

OXYGEN DESTROYER Saurian Warfare

Split · 2016 · Thrash Metal
Cover art Buy this album from MMA partners
UMUR
"Saurian Warfare" is a split release between US, Seattle Washington based death/thrash metal act Oxygen Destroyer and US, Seattle Washington based death metal act Carnotaurus. The split features two tracks from each artist. It´s an independent release from September 2016.

Oxygen Destroyer have opted to re-record "Onslaught of the Precambrian Hordes" and "Summoning the Moth of Divinity", which first appeared on their December 2015 demo. Carnotaurus have included a re-recording of "No Higher than Dust" from their 2010 "A Taste of the Carnage to Come" demo and the unreleased "A Stampede of Horns and Shields" track.

Although the two artists have similar images and lyrical philosophies writing about mythical (or in the case of Carnotaurus real but extinct) monsters, their playing styles and sounds are quite different. Oxygen Destroyer play a relentlessly aggressive and highly energetic death/thrash metal style with a snarling vocalist in front, while Carnotaurus play a filthy, raw, and brutal type of death metal with growling vocals. Both artists have produced some decent quality material though (I´d take Oxygen Destroyer over Carnotaurus anyday, but to each his own) and "Saurian Warfare" is overall a good quality release and a 3 star (60%) rating is warranted.
