Paul Speckmann played a key role in the formative years of death metal. Bands like Terrorizer and Entombed cite him and Master as an important influence. And both Master's first work and the only Deathstrike album can still be considered classics today, thanks to their intensity and a simple but effective songwriting style. Master have never played death metal in the pure sense of the word, rather a form of down-tuned heavy thrash and that style can be found here. "Dictators" brings back the glorious Deathstrike days, while "Cast One Vote", "American Freedom" and especially "Disturbed" clearly sound like classic Master tracks. Lyrically, Paul Speckmann continues his anti-American crusade. "Let's Start A War" is Master's 5th album from 2002 and is a solid and good album containing guitar-heavy death metal that has a little more to offer besides the aggression.
