What do you know? I had some free time this time ha?! relistening to the wonderful demos from MEFISTO(Swe), what marvellous this demos are! Omar has to be the king, his guitars are so rock influenced with no doubt! I can listen to some Jeff Waters from Annihilator, some Black Sabbath's Iommis shit... you can hear everything, this guy is a master of guitar composition! And the demos sound so great! from the beginning with the "mommy where's daddy KAKAAAAHHHH KAKAAAAHHHH KAKAAAAHHHH" til the end with "Act Dead" track, fuking terrific. The Puzzle is more technical despite the fact the band is technical as a whole, riffs are pure chaos, solos are out of this world, they are everywhere at anytime just ready for attacking your brain cells just like eddie van halen used to! I got some bootleged copies of these gems, that's why I am writing about them, besides the great interview at deadhead #7... oh and the post office has my CD compilation about to arrive so I am fuking full of joy. TERMINAL DEATH(Chl)... yes, you read well, chile not the killer US act under the same name. Well, these guys are pure thrash/death , first track is amazing and definately lets you just right into them, "drowned in vomit" , just on the chorus I thought immediately about FLAMES (Gre) because that chorus reminded me of "kill for mommy" ha ha even its vocal tune, but this one is not that fast it was just on vocals, I am reviewing their first promo rehearsal of 2017 which is quite killer, by now probably they are already signed by a label or something so I'll be digging more on them soon. Now all these reminded me of how i got into them in the first place, I bought the blasphemer VII fanzine and read a small review about a band named DRENCROM(Chl), so I instantly wrote to them and traded some stuff, this Terminal Death came with their newest Dremcrom compilation released under LMDT Recs and also came with the band named Alienation, what to say? yes, chile knows about the ancient ways. When I went to santiago to see MERCILESS(Swe) live along with VIOLENT ATTACK(Par) I came across with one of the guys of Terminal Death who couldn't believe I already had the promo he was about to give me hahaha, this is what happens when one also knows the ancient ways right? enough shit by now... Drencrom is also thrash/death as Alienation is. But Drencrom is just that kind of chilean stuff you know you will be listening to when you get something from Chile with that German thrash influence, reminded me of EVIL MADNESS(Chl) and also RIPPER(Chl) vox for sure. What I am reviewing is "Retrospective of chaos" which includes their 2014 & 2015 demos plus two bonus tracks where the mixture of these last two in vocals reminded me of MARTIRE(Aus) but only vox too... music is pure aggggreeessssssivee thrash! Related to ALIENATION(Chl), the CDR I got stupidly came with two mp3 tracks which I cannot play on my CD player... who the fuk records a CDR with sole two mp3 !!!! OK, this guys look young on the picture so I pressume they don't know how to do things in a proper way. Musically speaking is weird... melodic shit on first track which happens to be just an intro luckily. Second track is OK, fast shit with strange vocals but sounds like a rehearsal so as it's not outstanding I cannot say much on them, should check something else to see what are they doing nowadays these guys, the demo is named "modern slavery". Now is time for SUBURBAN BASTARDS(Par) from the paraguayan humid lands... well this the so called metal punk ... it is what it is, I am not used to listening to this genre but this attack is killer! what to say, everything is perfect, the music, the sound, the vocals, the guitars, the bass... the production on this recording is fuking killer in all terms, lyrics are really good and in the same vein the name of the band is... I don't know the name of the album nor the tracklist cause it was given to me as a gift thanks to Sergio the guitar player. Their lineup is composed by lots of DL50 members as him, Marcelo and Vanessa are/were. Highly recommended ; get in touch with them through this email sergio_hk_thrash at hotmail dot com. (***) Remember when I told you I read AUTOPSIA(Ger) was completely shit in a fanzine I couldn't remember!? "AUTOPSIA is a very bad speed death metal band[...] They remind me a bit of the awful POISON (Ger) [...]" and thanks to this I ended up enjoying them as much as I enjoy POISON. This is taken from the magnific BLACKTHORN (Dnk) fanzine by the guys of DESEXULT(Dnk) / SAMHAIN(Dnk) in their issue number 8. I love this fanzine, but this in my opinion was not understood at that moment (1989), both GERMAN sikfuks are godddzzzz!!!
