Hello there bastards from the deep underground. I have been working like a nerdo fuk so little time for der Musik this time. But, I also tried to invest little time to make this site more confortable, for me mainly, but also for those who read. Hopefully, this is not that badly done and will remain like this, if this gets fuked,well... may be I will have to get back to the previous version, invertedcross your fingers. Here ya go! VOMITOR(AUS) - Prayers to Hell demo 2016, this name was around my head quite a long time now... I am one of those that still write down some names on a paper in my notebook to be checked out in the future, when I can get something physical from them. This time, my generous, long-time friend and almost the only one I know is still around digging the underground in this lethargic lands, mediocridad, gave me this as present, I was surprised as fuk since they are from Australia and if this was coming from his side I was sure this was something I would like. OK OK... to the point, this band has something in particular that made it through my anxious ways... the guitar tune is just like AGRESSOR(FRA) !!! (Neverending Destiny era) Man!!! even the riffs are in that vein! You can find amazing riffs, and weird ones that one could think, hey... that's just awfully played, but it is weird in the good sense because after a compas you got it right there! this lunacy comes only from that lands! always with that ancient brazilian vibe that was present since the beginning of aussie's extreme metal bands, vocals are great and takes you to SARCOFAGO(BRA). The whole tape is excellent, sadly the lyrics were not included here. SMUT(US) - Don't die compilation 2018 , this US Thrash Metal band sounds exactly as if it were recorded in the 80's... guess what... it is from the 80s... the insert says nothing about the first tracks... but bonus are from rehearsals in 1985, so I don't know when first tracks got recorded... this band has some great riffs, vocals and dirtiness reminded me of AT WAR(US) demo, and they are also a power trio, drumms are well executed for these weird riffs. Sadly first track 'wild' cuts when you are getting into the mood... 'Snuff' is the second one, all tracks are as short as their names, believe me... but are straight to the point, no bullshit, great track followed by 'Hook' which could be a kind of polished verison of NECROVORE(US), also made me think of TERMINAL DEATH (US) because of the enviroment. Besides counting on not too long tracks, some are mostly instrumental like that last... how the fuk this guy didn't scream over that sound of madness?! 'Convulsion' is great too... a kind of slower version of SACRILEGE BC(US) one could say, check the guitar dancing over loose notes, what do you think? 'Mass Murder' also lead me to the great vocals of DAMNAKLEEZ(US) even the atmosphere of the track. After all the names I gave I think is pretty easy to realise you will enjoy this with no doubt ha?! Now was time for the self-titled 'Don't Die' with its Thrashcore thundervolt in hand... does it scream 'Death metal ,don't die' ?! HA ha if that's the case, what a great phrase HA HA! And closing the mess around... 'Shot', what a consistent recording, it is in your face. Recommended. Never heard of this project before, thanks again my beloved fuker mediocridad who also sent this brutal stuff to me! By the way, it was released by Syrup Head Recordings,but I had to search it, the tape only has a release ID not the name of the label... weird ah? Side B is the bonus stuff, recordings from 1985 that sound awesome! even better than the aformentioned tracks... 'Wild', 'Mass Murder', 'Instrumental' and 'World Malefice' are these... also two rehearsal tracks were included to close the side, 'Placenta' and 'Snuff', vocals are better on the sideA though, but do not disappoint at all! INTERMENT(Fin) - Life here after EP 1991 , wow man, I told you I was not getting into anything 90's related but this demo is totally fluent, fuk I like it. Vocals are nothing remarkable, are good, in the vein of DEMIGOD, DEMILICH(FIN), you know 90s growls from finland that seem they were speaking with shit in their mouthes HAHA ... but the music, the riffs and the so creative drumming is fantastic. This is a three tracks demo, pretty consistent indeed. This one I can recommend with no hesitation... and this tape was thrown in my room as if it were crap, FUKK! This happened to be reissued in 2016 with some rehearsal tracks that are also fantastic! even better may be! weird stuff! RECIPIENTS OF DEATH(US) - FINAL FLIGHT MLP 1990 by Wild Rags, this band was unknown to me until I visited the metallic lands of Santiago in chile some years ago, my friend Victor (Insanity) told me 'you will love this shit', and at first I did not ha ha, I need my time to check stuff I don't know and their first LP is really really raw and badly recorded, but kills beyond killness!! ended up being one of my favs years after, that line of fast and obscure thrash like SADUS(US),THE UNSANE(US), SACRILEGE BC(US),HEXX(US) and this are just top classics. Well, this MLP side A are just two tracks! ARGH! it is impossible not to compare this 12'' with the first one, because the jump on audio quality is fukin abrupt! Sadly the music is little bit slower, really perfect sound, drums are spectacular but not that fast, rythm guitars are quite simple comparing it with what they already achieved, vocals are perfect like always, little immitation to Araya's ways but who doesn't love that!? What one can see on this, is that even though they kind of perfectioned themselves, the agression was kind of lost. I totally prefer the omonimous 12'' but this one is also good for having it in your collection. SAVAGE GRACE(US) - Master of disguise LP 1985 - I don't have this, I don't know why I checked it out and I kind of forget if I read about them on a fanzine or was it a recommendation. The thing is that here you listen to IRON MAIDEN(UK) full of cocain! HAHAHA this is a fast Heavy Metal with Speed Metal and a vocalist that sounds like both, Paul D Anno and also Bruce Dickinson, giving a kind of Power Metal aura (but not the awful comercial one), from time to time you can listen to the similarities to both, a total fan of them for sure! The spectacular sound of the drums is what takes you directly to CRYPTIC SLAUGHTER(US)'s Convicted LP, is saw raw fast and agressive that blows your fukin head just when the album starts! I would buy a CD from this recording for sure, for the sake of having this album at hand. Side A is really good one, side B has two good ones and the rest is kind of boring. But in the end it is a good LP. If you did not know this band or don't remember how they sound, well you should get to listen to them and enjoy! LASTWAR(POL) - Darkness in Eden compilation 2011, this is a kind of mediocre version of VADER(POL), the demo with the same name was released in 1992, is the one starting this comp. Honestly, nothing remarkable for me. Only for Polish collectors surely. SILENCE(POL) - Last Warrior demo 1989, total german Thrash Metal worship here, you can dive among old SODOM(GER), KREATOR(GER) while listening to this, again, for being from these lands, this is not remarkable. It is okey for polish grave diggers. This version includes a Rehearsal track which is better than the whole demo, sadly it is instrumental only. SCARECROW(POL) - Deo Optimo Maximo 2016 split compilation, includes the demo 'Embodiment of Evil' by the project of their bassist and drummer. It really got me! The vocals are really violent, the sound of the solos man! that's crude rock n roll! Really weird project, the 'Kurwa Matka' track starts with clean vocals then great screams and crying babies hahahaha fukin fantastic. The production is raw as fuk, great demo. Some guitars are like black metal, but vocals are that excellent that I just don't give a fuk... and as you might guessed... totally sung in Polish. Really short tracks. This is followed by some instrumental tracks taken from a rehearsal in 1991. Wow man if those had vocals! The sound, despite being a rehearsal, all seems much more compact, and much more Thrash Metal and even due to its speed I could say Death Metal, little bit more technical too. Then the INDULGENCE(Pol) demo. This was indeed taken from SCARECROW ashes, sadly vocals are not that good for my tastes, but the music is solid as fuk in the same vein that last rehearsal was. One sad thing about this compilation is that this demo was taken from an awful sound, really bad digitalization where you can notice shitty digital mistakes on the sound and it was taken from a lossy source, it's not a WAV file on the CD but shitty mp3(check the waves and you will see the peaks at 15khz like any other bad rip) , shame on this crap, really awful man! At least one can get 'Deo Optimo Maximo' demo, the rehearsal is also mp3. Don't buy it! GODDEFIED(Swe) - Inhumation of Shreds 1991-2009 compilation, thanks to my friend Hellavenger I ended up checking this band, first three tracks are taken from a demo of the original monicker 'Enshrined', 'Assembly of the Dark' is the name of the demo, quite good demo, you can get some UNLEASHED(SWE) vibe from time to time. It is followed by a quite Doomish demo, which was unreleased before this compilation, I would like to know if this was the first recording by the band under the name of Goddefied. After these two quite good demos, the following demos are part of the tons of Swedish bands with that downtuned Boss Heavy Metal pedal full of bass, taking you to NIHILIST(SWE), DISMEMBER(SWE), ENTOMBED(SWE)... and this list could be endless. For me only those two aforementioned demos are good, the rest just doesn't feel like when I first got into Swedish DM, anyway, I have never heard of this band before. HETSHEADS(SWE) - Promos 1991, I started listening to this thinking... ok... another clone... happens to me all the time with swedish sound, but honestly this one, despite having some of those ingridients from typical Swedish DM, it has something else I cannot explain, that funny groove that makes you shake your head... don't know... I definately will dig more in detail on this one, I found it really interesting in the end. The first promo sounds more professional, the second one is rawer but not worse, in fact something reminded me of the allfukinmighty LEPROSY(SWE), I am quite sure it is becuase of the vocals and some chords with tupa tupa drums, and not to forget, AUTOPYS(US)'s doomish creepy parts are also found here. Thanks again Hellavenger! GROUND ZERO(JPN) - Gate of Death EP 1987, well another introduction by Hellavenger, this one totally surprised me, again, I have never heard of this band before, Just in the moment I played this, I thought, man this German Thrash Metal band kills! Then I started recognizing something weird in the phrases, they were from Japan! ARGH! Excellent Thrash Metal band with few touches of Crossover, mostly on chorus parts. The tracks have that German touch but it is different, I can listen to some VENOM(UK), ONSLAUGHT(UK) and even ANNIHILATED(UK) among DEATHROW(GER), ASSASSIN(GER) but with some North American tocuhes, probably METALLICA(US) or even DEVASTATION (Texas), and I must say some riffs made me think of ATTOMICA(BRA) too. A live bonus was included where they sound more Speed Metal mostly because of the vocals. Then 'Etherialize' first EP follows. Here the vocals are totally japanese and is in a vein more into Thrash/Speed/Power Metal, really great... I can think of a Thrasher and cleaner version of DEMENTIA(JPN). This is mostly because they started with a vocalist,Itoh, and then on the Gate of Death EP, Kawamura the guitarrist, did the vocals duties. I can even recognize this kind of japanese way of riffing that can be found in SABBAT(JPN) and GISM(JPN), for instance last track entitled 'Yutal Ridatsu' which it even closes with a riff from 'Holocausto de la morte' from NECROPHAGIA(US)! Thanks pal, this is something new to my collection of dubbed ones, probably another tape that will be around my deck for some time. MEGA SLAUGHTER(SWE) - Negative Bitch 1989 demo, 'Pschologic Terror' unleashed the violence on this demo of pure Thrash Metal attack coming from Sweden, honestly lots of riffs came into my mind while listening to it but I cannot mention band, shame on me! I could say CENOTAPH(ITA) from Italy, but they were much into Death Metal than this track. Vocals are perfect for their sounds. One can also find those CELTIC FROST(SWI) grooves from time to time. 'Mangled Bowels' follows and seems a DEATH(US),SLAYER(US), MERCILESS(SWE) all mixed with some strange guitar cuts that kill! Totally unexpected. This three tracks demo is extinguished by 'One Second', here you can say they could easily have been formed as a Hardcore act with no doubt. Great demo, again again and again,thanks Hellavenger! MEGA SLAUGHTER(SWE) - Death Remains demo 1990, this ones pops up with an intro similar to the one in 'Bestial Devastation' LP, This demo shows a natural progression of the band, vocals are not that good as in the previous demo but are not bad either. I can also feel that UNLEASHED(SWE), NIHILIST(SWE) vibe, it has something different and could be the double bass on drums from time to time where you can think of a little bit more Thrasher version of those. MERCILESS(SWE) also seems to be there because of the compositions, but as guitars are more down, is hard to realise it. Not bad but the previous is quite unique.
