I can’t really say that I’ve had my driving license for a long time.

I can at least say that I’ve never been caught while drinking under the influence of alcohol.

Then again, Alcoholator are going to release their new album “Coma” via High Roller Records and following the trails of booze that they leave, It gives me the strange sensation that I’ll probably get a ticket if I play this album on my car.

The album features songs such as: “Intoxication 101 (Intrumental)”, “Drink Beer... Or Die Trying”, “Wasted (All The Time)”, that seem to get one in the drinking mood and there you go. Now I need a beer.

Other songs like Pounding Metal (Exciter Cover), Catastrophic Violence push on to violence and at times random acts of it.

Lead Guitar & Vocals Matt Butcher talks about the band's topics: “It's half and half. Some songs are about alcohol, some others are about torturing people, others about testing methods of killing them and others are about sleeping with the wrong chick. Ha, ha. We like to keep a little bit of variety!”

And the truth is that it becomes highly appealing.

We have other Thrash Metal acts such as Antichrist, Dr. Living Dead, Baphomet's Blood, Razor, Tankard, Beehler on High Roller Records and in my opinion, Alcoholator, is a good addition to the rooster.

Alcoholator's taste is not limited to beer, they consume: “Beer, whiskey and scotch! Bitburger, Grolsch, Guiness, Beck's and Heineken (ha, just kidding). We usually prefer local microbreweries tho, we have some really good ones over here. Pump House IPA from Moncton, Canada!”

Hailing from Montreal, Canada that Matt describes: “The Metal scene here is alright, there's a lot of technical Death Metal which I'm not too fond of personally, but there's a couple of Thrash and Heavy Metal bands which I like. Metalian being the better one, check them out! There used to be a much better Metal scene here, with bands such as Voivod and DBC, and they are still active!”

Check Alcohonator’s Youtube channel and there you can find some tracks of the album.

So, is this a good enough album to be bought? Personally, I’d buy it if not even to see if the police will catch me DUI.
