Dave Tinelt doesn’t ask for your attention; he rips it from your skull and screams into the cavity. Power of Discretion isn’t a solo album. It’s a reckoning. A blood-soaked manifesto from a man who’s spent decades sharpening his voice into a weapon, and now finally swings it without restraint.
From the jagged opener “The Maniacal Mind”, Tinelt sets the tone: fractured psyche, serrated riffs, and a vocal delivery that feels like a sermon from a prophet who’s seen too much. It’s not nostalgia, it’s resurrection. He’s not reviving thrash; he’s dissecting it, stitching it to hard rock swagger and grunge-stained introspection.

​

“Axe to Grind” is pure venom. Hooks like rusted nails, lyrics that spit bile at false prophets and plastic rebellion. Then comes “Am I Sane?”, a slow-burn descent into madness that shows Tinelt’s range not just vocally, but emotionally. It’s the sound of a man clawing through his own skin to find something real.
But it’s “Heyoka” and “Just a Clown” where the mythic pulse truly throbs. The Aussie legend channels trickster spirits and broken masks, weaving cultural depth into the chaos. These aren’t just songs; they’re rituals. They summon the ghosts of identity, legacy, and the lies we tell ourselves to survive.

And then there’s “War” a pit anthem forged in fire. No subtlety, no compromise. Just boots to pavement and fists to sky.

The closer, “Alien Welcome Note” atmospheric, experimental, and strangely tender. It’s the sound of staring into the void and daring it to blink first.

This album bleeds authenticity. The drums, roar, as he delivers his work like a man possessed not by ego, but by purpose. The production is raw but precise, letting every snarl and solo cut through with surgical brutality. For fans of Overkill, Alice in Chains, and the storytelling grandeur of mid-era Metallica, this is a Metal dream!

​

But more than that it’s Tinelt unshackled. No band politics. No genre gatekeeping. Just one man, one voice, and a fire that refuses to die.
“Power of Discretion” isn’t just a title. It’s a warning. This debut has chosen its moment and come for blood.
