The SS in Death SS stands for Steve Sylvester, the frontman and only member who's been in the band from the start back in 1977. They were early with the horror movie aesthetics in metal and I first heard the band in the 90's and as I was a young metal kid I thought this newfound cult band was the coolest thing. Their material though has always been a bit rough, some albums really rock and some of their more industrial albums don't really rock as much. But once in a while they put out some really great stuff and it appears that it's time again. Their new album Ten, appropriate enough their tenth LP, is a powerful sing-a-long piece of cheesy heavy metal and I really enjoy it. The single Zora sets the tone as the second song on the album and it's a real hit (watch the music video, so fun and I'm still laughing), then the industrial side of the band show itself with Under Satan's Sun, but this time they make it work. Sounds a bit like Peter Tägtgrens Pain project crossed with Rob Zombie's Hellbilly Deluxe album.
