NEWS: This got released by the mighty polish label Oldschool Metal Maniac Records on CD! By the way, there's a magazine "Oldschool Metal Maniac" that happened to made an issue specially for SARCOFAGO(Bra) which looks totally promising, you should check that out too!! I will try to! SACRILEGE (UK) - Behind the realm of Madness 1985 - RE 2021 CD by Back on Black Records. "Lifeline" begins in sound and music as if "In battle there is no Law" BOLT THROWER(UK) LP was spinning right here in front of your face, until the more HC/Punk approach of drumming and voice spit in your face. This must have been one of their notorious influences, I mean for BOLT THROWER, in fact, I double checked and "In battle there is no law" demo from 1987 was also recorded in the Rich Bitch Studios, what a coincidence ha!? The whole production of this short LP is much more professional than what I heard before on their demos, but at the same time counts on that rawness we all need, remarking their violence. Also the lyrics are much more elaborated, their direction towards Thrash Metal influenced by HC and Heavy Metal (mostly in solos), is notoriosly not only affecting their music but the way lyrics are written. "Shadow from Mordor" begins as a Heavy Metal track with a really melodic solo, this part made me think of MASTER(US), until the crunchy HC begins. "At Death's Door" , outstanding lyrics here, this vomits hatred against injustice, after the two main paragraphs, music enters into a kind of slower version of "Siege of Power" NAPALM DEATH(UK) , I wish I had some beers right now, on the solo part I could not stop thinking about CARCASS(UK), "Necroticism" era. "A violation of something Sacred" is a memorable one from their previous demo, so no too much to add here, excellent track. "The closing Irony" behaves differently, some details like samples are used, in fact the bells took me instantly to "Seven Churches", begins much more instrumental until Tam shows up with her marvellous screams. "Out of Sight" also comes from their second demo, it's indeed not possible not to relate them with BOLT THROWER, NAPALM DEATH and DISCHARGE(UK) and also ONSLAUGHT(UK) . The whole recording feels so near to what their demos were, that I had to check when this got recorded, and guess what, this 6-track MLP was recorded almost at the same time of their second demo in 1985 ! This rerelease also came with 1986 demo which I had never listened to, three tracks that were lately included in their second LP (which I happen to find very boring). Also two tracks from 2015 were attached on this CD, "Feed" sounds just like any other modern metal shit and vocals are weak, probably aging and crapy modern influences. "Dig your own grave" traveled space and time from their first demo in 1984 til 2015, unnecessary to re-record this. Then two live recordings from 1986 which are excellent, "Blood Run" and "The Closing Irony". I was willing to check this 6 track LP, it feels as if it were the third demo of the band with hell of a grinding sound. In the end, this is an 1985 recording which tells a lot in terms of HC/Thrash Metal cronology. XENOTAPH(ARG) - Real Steel 2022 CD - By Metal Command records. I knew this project but I remember it was too Power Metal/Epic/Lyrical for my tastes, but the other day I was with erik and he probed me wrong, told me this was going to be in a more Speed Metal vein and indeed it was. The music production sound is so 80s that kills me. The vocalist tune reminded me of a mixture among BLOOD SPORTS(Fin), ACID(Bel), DIO(US) and even MYSTIC STORM(Rus) when on clean parts . "Hexenhammer" unleashes what this project is all about, Heavy Metal, her effects on the little screams saying "Witch, witch" are fantastic, great lyrics too. Followed by the omonimous "Real Steel", where I personally think the vocalist should be more loose, more agressive, I feel the intention but she needs to forget the lyrical perfection and replace it with a prominent violence that seems to be in it, here and there, but not intensevely used, which makes you feel there's a lack of power on some phrases, may be is not that and is the fact that goes on a more epic path, this track is great anyway and the chorus is really catchy and counts on that aggression I meant, excellent work on solos. "Mystery" is total JUDAS PRIEST(UK) worship but with some Power Metal approaches, exquisite chorus, really ended up enjoying this track, "Mystery fighting with dark forces... Mystery facing the unknown.." argh!! Even when the cut for little rythm changes took me to a slow version of TOKYO BLADE (UK) first album era. "Fists of Aggression" follows the same influences with less Power Metal and some SLAYER(US) -ish riffs from "Show no mercy" era. "Evil of the night" is fast and powerful, impressive track, astonishing and frenetic vocals, those should be on every fukin track argh!! "Cry of Langsuir" is good, "Last dawn before the end" has the most heavy parts I thought of ACID but then the "Holy Diver" kind of rythms shine out, the solos at the end are terrific! "Overkill" is the begining of the furious end, the tracklist was properly arranged to keep you hooked (on metal) and on the mood till the final fight, the overall strings works are spectacular, the guitars are tight, the bass is present during the whole album and fills every gap it has to fill along with an effective drumming. This is a good release that deserves to be checked. Thank you very much erik for this recording, I'm in debt with you! LEGION OF DEATH(US) - Have a nice Death 1985, "don't rush, sooner or later you will find it", an old bastard friend once told me, in fact, it's part of my daily life, pieces of deathrash history come across with me to fullfill my joy of death; this is one of those gems I have been looking for quite a long while, unleashing it's far-beyond-its-time deathrashardcore with "Condmened to Hell" track, mostly due to its Death Metal vocals along with impressive mixture between Thrash Metal and Hardcore, this blows your mind instantly since the laughter starts, "Fuck you" follows, short HC track and back to the deathrashing ferocity with "Deathride to Hell", impressive track, back again with an short HC track "I fucked your mom", funny track, back again to deathrashing hallucinations with "Excessive Violence", and three short ones "Violent Moshing", "Anti-pose", "Fuck off and Die" which is a kind of march for the insane bastards out there ha ha. Despite being not too long demo tape, has something unique on it, it's spectacular, the sound ,the vocals, what they were playing back at the time, reminded me a little bit of DAMNATION(CAN) even though are quite different and also to ARCHENEMY (US) because of the year. This should not be out of your demo collection at all; I know they recorded several tapes after this one, and the LP, but none of them felt that impressive to me as this one did back when I was firstly getting into demos, and now, it's with me! Hugely recommended. Thanks my friend pat for this, endlessly appreciated! DEVIATED INSTINCT(UK) - Rock n Roll Conformity 1988 LP - RE Pieceville 2019. I don't know where the fuk did I read about them, but probably was it a fanzine or just recommendation when in search of non-stupid attitude bands. These guys are punx playing HC/Thrash Metal/grindcore. Musik reminded me a little bit of NAPALM DEATH(UK) much more HC of course, and the vocalist is a mixture between ACCUSED(US) and IMPETIGO(US) on "All we need is cheez", some groovy parts reminded me also to LETHAL AGGRESSION(US) and the HC parts to VERBAL ABUSE(US) and, I could be wrong, but felt some Japanese influences, like with their last track playing something similar to "Liar" from GAI(Jpn) . May not be the best, but if you are looking for a project in the vein of the aforementioned projects who seemed to be warriors of the underground in their time, well, this will meet your needs, their totally made my day! LAS BRUJAS(ARG) - La Reencarnación - 2013 Compilation by Metal Soldiers Recs, this was done in a really proper way by the label, lots of pictures, lyrics,etc... the thing is, and I won't waste my time with more words, this is a really awful band, boring, not interesting at all. Vocalist is a cheap copy of what Roxana from SUPER RATON (ARG) have already done before, music has some riffs cloned from JUDAS PRIEST(UK), GIRLSCHOOL(UK) and the overall sound as if it were RIFF(ARG) in "Ruedas de Metal" but not at all that good. Don't buy this crap unless you really need to. I bought it because I was curious about them claiming they were the very first female band from Argentina... and also because I had a track from them in the compilation tape named "Latinos y Metalicos", but doesn't worth it at all. DEATHLY SCYTHE(CHL) - Darkness moves over the abyss Face 2022 EP, astonishly done, again by, Life Eternal prods. Spectacular artwork and also the paper used for it, looks totally ancient and the combination of classical colors like black white and red, fuk... brillant. Most important it's music of course, these guys have achieved to follow a kind of same line of what they did for "Celestial Darkness" LP, but for me, being a deathrasher, this is quite better, when this opens with "Heaven's Demise" I realised the black metal aura they used for the LP was not so present, in my mind this was a better approach, in this particular track I felt the intention of a kind of MORBID ANGEL(US) influence in tremolos, "Morbid Funeral Chant" also followed that path, again on tremolo's but also in drumming with much more blast beats, midtempos after them but also with that brazilian vibe ala SARCOFAGO(BRA), HOLOCAUSTO(BRA), SEXTRASH(BRA) and the likes... guitars are much more simple in terms of tremolos but solos became more into, again, in the Trey Azagthoth vein, which I fuking love of course, and the mixing is a total worship to POSSESSED(US) which was always a kind of first influence on them I believe, among with DEATH(US), PESTILENCE(HOL) never losing their chilean nature. Something interesting, they included "Deathlike essence of time" track with a fade out, leaving you with the power of wanting more and more, fuk! What excellent idea revived from VENOM(UK) on "Black Metal" album where "At war with Satan" intro was included. What else? Trade/Buy it fuker! Thanks joakill for this unvaluable gift! ENGLISH DOGS(UK) - Forward into Battle 1985, RE 2018 del Imaginario Recs, I am not too much into this label's work, most of the time they alter artworks,etc so Is not one of my fav labels, anyway, most of the time the cheapest option and good to have in hand when needing to check new stuff, this was the case, sadly this CD did not include the lyrics and only a poster with sidenotes of the recording and composition of the whole LP. This starts with an excellent introduction named like the album, it reminded me of the introduction of "Raiders of Doom" by the mighty DEATHROW(Ger), and followed by "The Final Conquest", I was coming from "Mad Punx and English Dogs" EP , where the vein was Hardcore Punk totally english with their pronunciation of words, that EP was good but nothing highly remarkable; not long ago rapidly checked their first LP which is more punk, not my thing, then I read these guys went into Thrash Metal due to changing vocalist/guitarrist, Gizz Butt joined the band and something changed; they indeed started playing Thrash Metal music with vocals totally Hardcore, I think this is the first recording I listen to where one can have the brain splitted in two by this fact, you hear thrash metal in one side, of course, with a HC essence everywhere, and on the other side, you get a HC vocalist perfectly suited. "Ultimate Sacrifice" begins in a kind of "Overkill" by MOTORHEAD(UK) , also finishing in the same way! , then fast thrashcore to the bone, lead guitars are astonishing, I fukin loved the arrangements here and there, the solos, everything, totally super. "Ordeal by Fire" begins as if it were "Show no mercy" from SLAYER(US) and suddenly has a shocking change into a kind of viking march with a weird scale, lyrics are kind of epic and go totally along with the artwork; which is impressive by the way. "False Prophet" gets more HC with those solos,arrangements... the last solo starts just like those solos from Gary Holt If I am not mistaken, just the beginning, the drumming sounds just agressively hardcore, the whole production is very english which in some aspects reminded me of ANIHILATED(UK) . "Wall of Steel" is another fantastic track influenced by BLACK SABBATH (UK) which keeps you just in the mood, the screams are great. "Nosferatu" , I cannot avoid thinking of HELLWITCH(US) ha ha but this has nothing to do with them, may be only with the first pick-tapping at the beginning which is quite Patrick's signature, can yo believe this band has such a creative fuker on guitars?! I also realised that the effect on vocals when the chorus saying "Nosferatu" were kind of DECEASED(US) on "Birth by radiation" ha ha ha! "He that is bound shall be freed" from time to time the vocals reminded me of HOBBS ANGEL OF DEATH(AUS) . "Five days to Death" I thought it was a rock n roll as soon as it starts ha ha ha , these sutil details make the recording quite dynamic, great SLAYER-ish track. The culmination of the recording gets delivered by "Brainstorm" with lots of changes, pretty fluent Thrash Metal and Heavy Metal altogether. My last words for this spectacular recording are, this is a really well developed english hardcore along with north-american and german Thrash Metal with british heavy metal spices here and there. Brilliant for the curious! A total masterpiece! GLORY HOLE(Ita) - Infestation of Evilized Deformities 2013 tape, this was found by my friend bruno long time ago among their next releases under the monicker PRESUMED DEAD(Ita), but this was much more into my kind of beers. In fact we spent some good afternoons drinking beer listening to these italian deathers. Even though this project introduces nothing new to the genre, and probably not their intention either, the combination of a great vocalist plus excellent riffs influenced by the north-american school along with excellent horror environments provided by the arrangements on guitars made this absolutetly a great recording. All tracks are fantastic but my faves are "Necrolust", "Death by Deformity", "Mass Slaughter", "Infestation of the worms" and "Fucken Evoked" just not to mention them all ha ha! I dubbed this one but if you come across with it, you should definately buy it! They totally rule! If you read me bruno, when are you coming back to the attack of tapes n beers!? Харон(Rus) / Метастаза (Rus) - Demos / Шесть таких, как я, RE 2020 CD by Metalrace Recs again, reviving the ancient Russian thrash metal as it must be. What to say on this, Харон is furious thrash metal with lots of Аспид(Rus) influences, I mean a lot, but not that skilled and not that well professionally recorded, and also KREATOR(Ger), anyway, have you ever listened to this monicker in your fukin life?! Also harmonics reminded me to the glorious 1991 - Крюгер(Rus) demo!!! ARGH , sorry but yes, besides being drunk while writing, it was the project I enjoyed the most on this split. Метастаза reminded me of Аспид too but in a КГБ(Rus) way, because it is fukin skilled but also the tracks are longer, some DEATH(US) influences here and there too, mostly on their Death Metal parts with tremolo, arranged as fuked and not that furious but good anyway. This split is excellent to have if you are are having an special fukin russian thrash metal hunger. Curious fact, I believe these two bands were released together because Sergey Pnyov, the guitar player/vocalist in Харон, was also in Метастаза... I had no idea he was also part of Hellraiser(Rus) in late 90s, never been a fan of this last one but yeah... interesting. I have to finish this short review thanking Metalrace Records for doing their best to send me this stuff whilst the post offices restrictions,etc ; it was hell of an odyssey but yeah, got it here in the end, huge thanks pal! This is highly recommended for those willing to enjoy the russian thrashing ways. Get in touch with the label n fukin get itahhhhrghhH!!! PLAGUE (Bul) - The Repulsive Enthroned demo 2020, dubbed one from my friend Joakill, excellent weird and original Black/Thrash/Death Metal project, nice sounding and great weird vocals used, almost clean vox plus growls and fat sound on guitars. Some approaches on tracks reminded me of ALCOHOLIC AGGRESSOR(Arg) and SARCOFAGO(Bra) with no doubt . These guys have a couple of previous demos which I wonder how they were... Interesting to take notes and try to get them in the future. I loved the intro with a horror violin and storm, spectacular way of introducing this demo. You will experience schocking riffs and blasting drumming with great vocals and some technicall riffings too. This is a good catch from these times, I think their origin plus their sound makes them original and worth it! Женская Болезнь (Rus) - 1я леди в СССР 1990, a Single, what's so particular about this single track? It's from Russia, from USSR era and it's a women project!!! unbelievable man; I never thought something like this could exist at all... Musically speaking, is the typical thrash from that place/time but sadly it lacks of real drumming and has a sampled drum... What a pity.. anyway this is in fact a weird recording; Is there more about them? someone has something else in a proper digitalization!? Fuk... this totally left me willing to know more about them! The name of the band translate into Women Disease, HA! absoultely great to check, let's see if I can track something else from this rarity! By the way, there are great pics here: https://www.guitaristka.ru/index-bolezn.shtml where you can check there was a real drummer, I wish I can get something more with the real drummer! FDP(Fra) - Death, Terror and Extermination demo 1988, dubbed tape, I got this one long time ago but I never quite stopped and listen to it properly, It was just thrown on my endless pile of tapes soon to be checked. Well side A is a great thrash/death metal approach, mostly Thrash but death is because of the deep voice, not fast but heavy, "Death, Terror and Extermination" , "Nervous Land" are pretty good, "Tom Slayer" reminded me to NOCTURNUS(US) "Before Christ, After Death" track on some parts, this side is great. Side B is "Medical error" in the same Thrash Metal line, "Illusion in darkness" is the last good one and then a joke track named "Luck to songs????" . Good to dig in the french abyss once again. It's not a remarkable project but not a piece of crap either, expect a good rehearsal sounding. VIOLENT ATTACK(Par) - Demo Rehearsal 2003, dubbed tape , this is a great mid-tempo Thrash Metal pretty obscure for its time, their remarkable footprint was always the vocalist plus interesting riffs full of classical thrash metal mostly influenced by the german wave mixed with latinamerican thirdworldness. Despite being a demo, it sounds terrific. You can hear everything clearly. Nice to have if you enjoy this band! VIOLENT ATTACK(Par) - Violent Attack 2006, live tape, another one from my dubbed ones, this, despite not enjoying live recordings, is a great one mostly because all tracks are well played, you can feel the aggression and passion besides these are demo tracks. You will get a thrashing vomit with "Thrashing with hate" , "Destruction and hate", "M.A.B." and "Nuclear Crossfire" plus a cover from SEPULTURA(Bra) , "Troops of doom" and HELLHAMMER(Swi) , "Messiah" , this live took place in 2004, then side B is a live recording from 2002 where you can listen to tracks from their first LP like "Violent Attack" , "When the barbarity reigned" and "Brain dead" in a raw live version plus "They shall pay" and a cover from VIOLENT FORCE(Ger) , "Dead city" . I cannot state this is fabulous but if you are into live recordings plus this band, which left quite a good legacy in their lands, well, you should totally get it! MORBIDITY(Rus) - Don't Demands Impossible 1998 , this a Death Metal/Grindcore project similar, in sound, to what DEATH VOMIT(Rus) did , but not that amazing. I don't like this project too much, but if you are willing to experience something on that vein, may be this suits your needs. RIPPER(Chl) - From Prison Hell demo compilation, dubbed tape, this is an excellent compilation gathering all their pre-LP demos, including some tracks from their first rehearsal. "Destroy the World demo" from 2009 is spectacular, I believe that's why the tracklist was listed like that. For those unknowing this project, I believe they were one of the first bands participating in the worldwide chilean deathrash explosion from 8 years ago, or so. I knew them by their first LP "Raising the Corpse" which I believe is one of the greatest releases of those times influenced by acts like DEATH(US), PESTILENCE (US), CYNIC(US), SEPULURA(Bra) and the likes. On side B you have "The Exit" demo which is a little bit faster and obscure due to its production with tracks that were later part of their album. At last , their rehearsal. Retrospectively speaking, they were destined to rule, it is impresive how technical they were back on those demos and what they achieved. I fukin love their first LP and I thought I already wrote about it before, but seems I did not. Well, you should get into this project if you haven't already done it! RIPPER(Chl) - Fatal Memories EP 2013, Metaltifus Prods tape, probably a preview of what was going to happen when their first LP got out. Tracks from their LP can be checked here but with an spectacular production if we compare those with their previous demos, anyway, all their recordings are high quality, the progression on the production plus a little bit more violence on vox make this EP so appealing that the wait for an LP was going to be an imminent agony! HELLBASTARD(UK) - Ripper Crust demo 1986, dubbed tape, "Intro" makes way to "Nazis Killed..." , great title for a great track, begins inspired by SLAYER(US) at first glance but then is totally inspired by CELTIC FROST(Swi) , I cannot avoid thinking of DEATH STRIKE (US) , street thrash metal , slow but heavy track that has an unexpected end which leds to "Massacre" which is also heavy but turns faster, mid-tempo thrash metal with riffs ala SEPULTURA(Bra) . With "Deceiver" we get more CF worship but with a vibe much more into hardcore I feel early NAPALM DEATH(UK) too . "Insanity" gets right there into the hardcore energy needed. "Death from Above" right into early ND again, spectacular track. "Life? for who" you can think it was going to be speed metal with those loose notes on the riff, but turns back again into their style with a disturbing solo that flows along with the voice, during the whole track. "Kill or be killed" again CF worship intro, much hardcore that goes with that line. "Outside Clastrophobia" more early ND, on the mood with mid-tempo thrashing drums. "Skag Kill D.Pushers" which is about destroying drug pushers and this outstanding demo fades out with "And nowwwww..." which is a joke, phrases here and there, funny though. As you may have expected, this are anarko punk thrashers which all their lyrics are about social topics, anti-system. This is an absolutetly recommended project. BURNT OFFERING(US) - Death Decay Demo 1987, this is hell of a highquality demo, these guys were total fans of DARK ANGEL(US), EXODUS(US) and POSSESSED(US) , I feel some canadian influence too but at the moment I cannot recall, I can think of DBC (CAN) may be; This is a six track demo full of energy, tracks are "Leatherface" which is killer and sticks in your mind, "Desecration" kills, "Black Blasphemy" great one too, "Prisoner of War", "Beware of the Axe" nice and last "Power of Death" which also sticks and kills, and during the whole demo I think the drummer stands out. I knew them by their first full length which is a little bit more produced and little bit faster, but this one is totally enjoyable, I doubt if it's not better! and if you haven't checked them yet , well this is an excellent entry point. Does some one ever checked their first demo from 1986? Thanks again pat for trading this one! JPI VIO-LENS KOMMAND(Ury) - For one night we woke up with eyes like stones, tape 2022 by Extreme Resurrection Records 50 copies. A somber introduction embraces you into an obscure aura, entitled "From the depths he'll rise again" followed by a mid tempo riff and spectacular spectral voice on the track which is aligned with the deathrash realms, that track is "Powerslave Humanstake". Later on, "Decomposition", this high scream ala SLAYER(US), along with the fantastic rythm guitar takes you to a kind of brazilian vibe influenced by SEPULTURA(Bra), in overall terms, the brazilian kind of tremolos are present everywhere, the solo arrangement along with the rythm are exquisite. "The pale blue sky looked through the eyes ov obsession" with its slowly dying tempo and an intricated riff, with that fat guitar tune comes directly from BLACK SABBATH(UK) infuences, kind of progressive I would say; until the feast takes place, insane deadly riffs with fast drumming and vomiting-chaos vocals. What really amuses me is the impressive rythm changes, those make this release not only unique but complete, totally catching your neck until destroying it in the end. Then "Hexen", Isn't this related to "Chemical Warfare" ? AAAARGHHH!!! What an impressive start, which continues in a kind of mixture of SEPULTURA's "necromancy" along with some SABABAT(Jpn) kind of tunes... fuk fuk... check the changes in rythms... absolutely crushing deathrashinghardcore spirit until it fades into an agonizing impressive demented mix between the rythm and the solo!!! ARGH yes please!! All that melts into "Brothers ov eternal flames" that flows into a hardcore riff with choruses and the likes, this is totally astonishing for the uruguayan shitty lands. Side B begins with classical music, imagine "Morbid Visions" from SEPULTURA, "Final Holocaust" from MASSACRA(Fra), to explode with the spectacular track "Terror Campaign", it's magnific how the riffs start evolving into arrangements till the end. "Arythmomaniac" begins with noisy intro and breaking glass, then pure awesome tremolo and repetition of the title, impossible to forget, then you get that cut with slow parts, like disonant (whatever it means in the musical theory hahaha) and again with more tremolo screams and amazing solo which turns into a ball of noise and chaos screams of blasphemy, impressive. "Vio-lens Kommand" begins as if it were a kind of war march, suddenly with notes as if it were Heavy metal, interesting, and hell yeah more tremolo with more vocals of mumbling death like a furious barking motherfuker, when you get to the slow part choruses repeat the title of the track with a kind of inverted rythm which twists your fukin brains and more tremolo til the end. "Abomination" is one of the key tracks on this album, have you ever listened to a deathrash project using a kind of small trompet!! Ha ha ha, this is pure fukin amazing, is pure death hardcore, fukin amazing track with hell of arrangements as small solo parts, then you get to the begining of the end with slow ryhtm and a kind of post-apokalyptik solo, I see images of earth's death with this one, and it dies on an outro entitled "He for whom each drop of blood is a seed", indentical to the opening. This is a masterpiece done in 21st century which, as far as I believe, has carved by fire a keystone on the historical records of extreme music in uruguay. HEFESTO(Ury) - Raw Cruelty EP tape , 2022 by Extreme Resurrection Records co-released with Morbid Horus records also from uruguay, my friend fukulo's new label who is now playing drums on the band. These guys improved immensively since their first demo, Speed Metal was included as a key component on their compositions; their approach towards riffs is completely superior and rythm changes make their tracks tight and fullfilled, the arrangments and solos are terrific. I found the whole production equalized with too much bass in general terms, I liked a lot the arranges and little phrases between the guitar duo, and the CRUEL FORCE(Ger) aura is even more notorious, I think they found their vein on that mixture with that band and BATHORY(Swe) . Vocalist is little bit more aggressive than before and I think his voice is what makes this EP so fluent, I guess I could also compare them with the second EP from EURYNOMOS(Ger) "Eye of the Pantheon" . In the end what makes me feel this is not superb, is that the whole tempo they used in this release is a little bit slower than live, which is expected, but at the same time what I am used to, fuk I wish this were faster, anyway, as I firstly stated, this is hell of an improvement for them, besides this gets better on each listen! This EP starts with an weak intro and then "No survivors" fails initially with a loss of power on the beginning, the mixing on drums did not helped, after that, the track is good, "Loss of innocence" follows , BATHORY's vibe is present but also METALLICA(US) riff changes are there too, "Taint the nuns" begins pretty good, I liked the riff and the thrash drums, chorus vocals took me to a kind of DEICIDE(US) ways... great work on vox, phrases made me think of "SDI" from VIOLENT FORCE(GER) and mid tempo drumming with chords on axes reminded me of THANATOS(Hol) . "Napalm breath" explodes with midtempo drums plus excellent catchy riff, speed!!! "Night chants" another great track, keeps the same vibe than previous track and then adds something unexpected to me, it was a kind of Viking Metal approach pretty weird but works excellent on the track. To finish, "Warlords" another killer one, these last three tracks are the best, I found some phrases on vox that took me briefly to TOXIC HOLOCAUST(US) . This is a great release and I hope they can release more stuff soon. For those interested in black thrash metal, these guys are unique in uruguay. Support the underground and get it!
How have you been lately? fuk life, isn't it tiring ah? bombarded by absurd issues, food industry, war, death, pain, animal suffering, sexual abuse of whatever kind of being/age, destruction in general, what to say... exhausting, and with the addition of modern slavery here and there which one gets trained to enjoy, happy and lazy slaves... and most perturbing in my mind, I cannot control it, I cannot stop feeling this is a pile of shit, we are the tiny piece of shit eaters devouring and being part of this pure fukin shit. I hate the world, I hate people, I fukin hate you all, you all deserve extermination because no one can change the activities of the fukin assholes controling us all, who end up being a handful of fukers I just despice, we all do, but nothing changes this fukin fact, not even after so many years of injusticce, inequality ,etc... since the origins of mankind; and guess what, some unwealthy stupid slaves even think they are part of this crap pretending to be from the top of this burocratic and sick pyramid, following trends of unequal political ideas, racists, anti-working class, anti-poor people, anti-migration (the world is free fuk), anti-homosexuality ( do you know the word freedom fukk! ), are you fukin christians you fukin fukks!! fukin puppets!!! fukers of the shit, fuk off you all!!!! and why the fuk do we even exist? fuk fuk fuk fuuuuuuuukkkk. I wanted to silently scream to the void and nothingness of this virtual shit, scream to my mind, to my thoughts, to keep being part of this pile of shit and vomiting over myself and devour this crap eternally as a fukin disguting piece of shit being I am, fuk you all, fuk you all but mostly, fuk myself even more because I always and firstly hate my brains before all... stupid pieces of shit... argh... OK, Hello investigators of the filthy deathrashing insanity graves; I found out lots of my old reviews, pre-site update, disappeared, but I managed to get them back because I had a backup, so don't miss the chance to read my bullshit in case you missed it. Now the music I have been listening and re-listening and that's it. Till next vomits of hate and nonsenses. SEXMAG (POL) - Sex Metal MLP 2021 by Dying Victims, Starts with an intro almost identical to what POISON(GER) did on "Into the Abyss" and the guitar sound reminded me of CRUEL FORCE(GER) , vocals are in the vein of DEATHHAMMER(NOR). All tracks are written and sung in Polish, so, as you know, words are fantasticly weird from time to time, at least in this particular case, pronunciation took me into a kind of brazilian way, as if they were sung in portuguese, pretty interesting I must say. The whole MLP is consistent, is fluent and natural as fuk, zymbals sound spectacularly clear as if you were right there in the rehearsal studio or whatever. To mention some of their influences, or at least what I think, expect a Thrash Metal granade explosion of a DESTRUCTION(GER) , SLAYER (US) , BATHORY(SWE) , POSSESSED (US) and the likes!! INSTIGATOR(SWE) - Bad Future 2015 by Gates of Hell Recs, this EP screams GISM(Jpn) as soon as it starts with "Anabolic", the noise and mixture of different vocal tunes takes you directly there and also SABBAT(Jpn). In some ways the concept reminded me of another new project, BLOOD SPORTS(FIN), with that of an apocalyptic future vision,etc... by the way, the intros are indeed great, "Inseminoid" is the second track which is a Heavy/HC/Punk/Speed Metal, is excellent, again and again, thank you women for being so smart and violent when on extreme music, in fact all art is from Hiroshima, the vocalist. Lyrics were all included on an insert, I fukin loved that on 7", easy and cheap to do but some labels tend to forget it. SIDE B begins with "Black Magic" following the same line. "Undetectable", it kills a couple of beer cans for sure. The whole 7" is great, highly recommended. I got fukin heavily superbly surprised by the fact they got in touch w/ Lloyd Kaufman from Troma for using an extract of one of his underground movies. This EP is spectacular, so go fukin get it! THE RODS (US) - The Rods LP 1981 , by Arista Records , this LP, once I got fuked by an asshole from UK who sent it to me totally unplayable, fuked grooves,etc... luckily I was able to get my money back, but then , after one or two years of that episode, I was finally able to get this great Hard Rock/Heavy Metal album. What to say, this is a classic Rock in the vein of TED NUGENT(US), RAINBOW(UK), LED ZEPPELIN(UK), ACDC(AUS) and some others I already forgot I noticed on their music, even RUSH(CAN) or PINK FLOYD(UK) in "Woman". I was convinced by the fact that this was their first release ever, but they used to have another one entitled "Rock Hard", which happens to have most of the tracks of this very LP. I cannot recall right now if the recording sessions were exactly the same and a couple of tracks were added just for the ocassion, or if the old tracks were just remastered for the release. Anyway, if you enjoy their influences you cannot miss this one. My favourite tracks are "Power lover" , "Crank it up" "Music man" , "Nothing going on in the city", "Get ready to rock 'n roll" and "Rock hard" ! "Rock hard! is in the music, Rock hard! is in the blood, rock hard! born to rock hard!" MENACE(BRA) - Apostles of Violence Demo 1988, bootleg tape sent by Life Eternal Prods, I was looking for this one and not being able to get a proper dubbed one in months, you read my mind my friend! I knew this project thanks to fukulo ( MORBORUS(URY) ) , who brought it home on CDR once in a cold drunk night. This is a very well done mixture of SEPULTURA(BRA) , ATTOMICA(BRA) and german Thrash Metal acts like KREATOR(GER), SODOM(GER) and DESTRUCTION(GER). When "The Horror Mass" starts, after some KREATOR-ish intro, you get the SEPULTURA's "Crucifixion" vibe on their tremolo part, the vocals are really deep, so in my mind ends up into a kind of Thrash/Death Metal, probably the sound of the tape also helps them to achieve that, the final tremolo part kills beyond killness I wish all track were just that part HA HA! "Dictating laws in vein" keeps the same structure, it adds some choruses with clean vocals which are not my kind of beer, at least not done in this particular way, then some SLAYER(US) kind of riffs were applied to keep the track fluent, followed by more tremolo and solos, the formula I just love, then back to the awful choruses and dies with more thrash and fade-out. "Apostles of violence" is totally violent and fast, as it must, being the title of the demo, ironically, says "pleasure to kill" which is what I think influenced them the most on this recording, besides I felt some THANATOS(HOL) on the rythm of some phrases, particularly from their track "Outwards of the Inwards". "Sabbath" starts as it were DESTRUCTION(GER), same riff as in "The Ritual" ha ha, then changes into their style, and some choruses reminded me of another Black Thrash Metal act, I think it was MEFISTO(SWE), sorry folks, cannot retrieve that data from my brain today. "Nuclear Menace" more of what I have already described and "Live with lies (die with truth)" invokes the end of this tape with a chaotic solo jumping all over your ears and now clearly feel some Phil's riffs from NUCLEAR DEATH(US) , a tapping solo over tremolo and mid tempo drumming with an aura of "Beneath the Remains" too. I think all my crap describes pretty well what will be getting if you put your dirty hands on this tape, in the end, totally recommended for those who are looking for ancient brazilian bands that count on obscure atmosphere. CHEMICAL BREATH(Bel) - Brutal Violation 1990, relistening to this demo, a pretty consistent Death Metal with lots of resseblances to what the swedish DM scene had, great vocalist with a macabre growling, reminded me to Barney Greenway in "Harmony Corruption" from time to time mixed with Kam Lee, music is DM in the vein of DEATH(US) , PESTILENCE(HOL) and the likes. CHEMICAL BREATH(Bel) - Reality Beyond Demo 1991, I had both tapes dubbed on one, so it was inevitable to mention this one too, here you can appreciate the technical aspects their music had on their first LP. It's on the same vein than before but probably less groovy, what makes this demo shine more than their previous one. I think this demo is exepcted being from the year it is. Both are interesting demos if you wanted to know how they got to "Fatal Exposure" album, by the way the excellent track "Mutilation" is part of this demo, "Erased from existence" too. I am still missing that LP which got reissued a couple of years ago... shit. I recommend you to grab this one and also their album. Won't regret it if you are into Technical Death metal in the north-american ways. HEATHEN(US) - Demo 1988, two tracks demo, "Hyponitized" and "Mercy is no Virtue", as previously stated, this band is in the vein of EXODUS(US) and guess why this demo is kind of particular, Paul Baloff is here, interesting fact, the music is more EXODUS as expected, for me this are not remarkable tracks but are not bad either, just a demo. DEATHTRAP(Jpn) - Night Mare demo 1987, bootleg tape I dubbed myself thanks to my friend Pat, this band was known to me only by name, I had never had the opportunity to check their audio, probably because I never had it and never found anything digital to check (Maybe nowadays is everywhere, don't know don't care). Spectacular japanese Thrash metal. This is a 3-track demo with sharp vocals ala SABBAT(Jpn) in some ways, and may be influenced by DARK ANGEL(US). Highly recommended, to my surprise it was not noisy at all but fully listenable! Its tracks are "My god Satan" , "M.O.N.M." and the terrific omonimus to their demo title "Nightmare". Only one demo? Why?! ANSCHLUSS (Bra) - Demo 1986, bootleg tape, When firstly started following the origins of death metal I came across with this brazilian act, similar to CURRICULUM MORTIS(Per) , I was really intrigued by their next steps, this three demo track is excellent, it's a simple deathrash three-tracks demo "Marching for Death" , "Die Black" and "Killer Sovereignity" being this last more HC, the most remarkable is the guitar tune and the vocals effect which indeed makes them as original as C.M.! Sadly this band became really groovy and dull after their first two demos... ANSCHLUSS (Bra) - Demo 1987, bootleg tape, Another three tracks from this psychos, evolved one I would say, following SEPULTURA(Bra) 's steps. Tracks are more refined, these are "Storm of Terror", "Deep Hate" and "Soldiers of hate". I don't know what else to add about them, these two demos are highly recommended, the most original is the one from 86 but this is also good to have. DETHRONER (POL) - #3 1990 - Great polish fanzine counting on spectacular interviews of NUCLEAR DEATH(US) , ABOHRER(SIN) , DARKTHONE(NOR), ANARCHUS(MEX) and tons of weird reviews HA HA! I mean weird because most classics recordings are reviewed in the most strange ways, mostly as if their were copycats, shit or something in between... anyway, It was a killer fanzine to read. And the interviews are really good, some info I probably never read before (or may be I forgot) ; and I was amused by the fact that GRAF SPEE(URY) was reviewed as unique and INNER SANCTUM(URY) as a CELTIC FROST(SWI) clone He he, so expected. NECRONOMICON (BRA) - #3 1989 - Really nice brazilian fanzine with little interviews, the best were NECRODEATH(ITA) and WITCHES(FRA), and tons of reviews, even reviews from fanzines. PHOENIX MILITIA(UK) - #3 1986 - Impressive english fanzine with tons of large and small interviews, PROTECTOR(GER) was too short but counts on great details, ACCUSED(US) was great, the openning with MUTILATOR(BRA) was great too... What amused me on this fanzine is the fact they promoted, or at least indirectly, Vegetarianism (Which i think back then it was the same as Veganism); in their interview with SACRIFICE(CAN), I fukin love this thrash bastards but they were totally stupid assholes insulting EXTREME NOISE TERROR(UK) for their views regarding animal rights. I ended up concluding the same as the author, ignorant fuks, just it. Then has a quite dull DESECRATION(US) interview, another almost good one with BULLDOZER(Ita), I mean almost good, because the interviewer position himself over the band; I felt the whole texts as if were an expression of superiority in fact... like if the involved ones were smarter creatures than the ones being interviewed... but what was the point of the fanzine? The whole fanzine is not like that but feels like it in a kind of 40 percent. And the last I read here was MASTER(US) which was also a good one. The last reviews were impossible to my eyes, too tiny font and the scan was not that good. Anyway, recommended as fuk, besides I ended up knowing another project named ATAVISTIC(UK) which is a kind of early NAPALM DEATH(UK) , not that great in my opinion but good to know. PHOENIX MILITIA(UK) - #7 1988 - Well this one is much more readable, the font size is bigger, the art is hell of an impressive piece of artwork and interviews are longer, CRYPTIC SLAUGHER(US) one was killer, a short but kind of good interview with DESEXULT(DNK), DISCHARGE(UK) one was interesting, since the point of view of the audience back then was that the bands just wimped out and followed trends after Cal's departure. I have never followed EXTREME NOISE TERROR(UK) but their interview was OK too, nice questions. In retrospective, this shows the (in/)evolution of the HC Punk bands from UK. This issue has a kind of "worldwide scene summary" naming bands from everywhere with contacts and does the same for fanzines, reminded me of an artzine I used to get through snailmail which used the same kind of propaganda, really great indeed. This issue enlightened me with HELLBASTARD(UK), never heard/read of them before, their interview was my kind of beer and I slightly checked them on internet and sounded like a mixture of CELTIC FROST(SWI) with DEATHSTRIKE(US), also reminded me of CHAOS UK(UK) 1981 demo and possibly influenced guitar riffs on NAPALM DEATH's "Scum" album; so hard to resist ah?! Also has a great interview with Mick Harris from NAPALM DEATH(UK) ; i could not stop my vomitting laugh after reading he used to scream directly to the snare's mic things like the title's of REPULSION(US) 's songs while on stage!! ARGH! WHAT AN INSANE BASTARD HE WAS HAHAHA! There was also a short and weird one with POISON(GER). Pretty interesting and good fanzine after all, highly recommended. Thanks my friend from the canadian space for these stuff, made my weekend!
GLASNIK SMRTI (Ser) - Demo br 2021 - by Life Eternal Prods, spectacularly done on pro Tape with fantastic art, paper,etc. As soon as this tape was played, an obscure and chaotic but short intro unchained a brutal and consistent riff I was not expecting at all, typical Black/Thrash Metal as if it were AURA NOIR(Nor) with a pure Thrash Metal sound, the riff seems as if it were from "The metallian" by IRON ANGEL(Ger), even the following track you can feel all the CELTIC FROST(Swi), MERCYFUL FATE(Dnk), VENOM(UK) and SLAYER(US) influences, the sound is so spectacular I cannot believe it, hard to compare with other projects, I must compare them with some other projects with similar recording sound mainly on the guitar tune, like OBERON(Bul) or EXHUMATOR(Bul). Vocals are amazing, great deep vocals. Definately this is a total "metal without mercy" as stated on the flyer. Take it now or weep later! Extra: When I reviewed this, I thought this project was from the old times, totally... except for the drumming sound which is sampled or computer-made. I hate solo-projects I must say, but this one got me there... Anyway, it is a good project to take into account, mostly because of its procedence, Serbia. And this is not finishing just here, a new demo is going to be out soon, so I hope this gets a real drum recording soon! MAGNUS(Pol) - Scarlet Slaughterer 1989 - RE 2020 by El Abismo Recs, Another label doing a great work on it, 5 pages insert full of lyrics, yeargh! I fukin loved the "death/thrash metal" label added to the front. This is a blood-red tape with a sticker similar to what ancient bootlegs used to using. What to add on this classic? Probably known by most, this is the opening full length for MAGNUS discography. I knew this act firstly by their "I was watching my Death" album, then came to this one, and honestly both kill but surely this is special due to being the first and less professional let's say, saying less professional doesn't mean it sounds bad, totally the opposite, this could be related to the steps SADISTIK EXEKUTION(Aus) took (steps, not music), like grabing the brazilian deathrashing ferocity and put over the top the diabolic minds of deathrashers with more speed in your face. Expect great solos, insane vocals and weird phrases locations, unexpected screams, speed, skills and mostly, Polish guts! CHEROKEE (US) - Wakan Tanka Rici Un 2018, by Jawbreaker recs, this is Hard Rock in the 70s vein, at first listen I identified few stuff but second time, more carefully, influences are notorious. This project counts on a female vocalist with a really particular voice, reminded me of a mixture along DIO's, Rush's vocalist and Doro. "The Yellow King" is in the vein of RUSH(Can), "Blood worth its weight in Gold" is in the vein of BLACK SABBATH(UK) and "Firewater" starts as "Eruption" from VAN HALEN(US) then is totally ala RAVEN(UK) from "Rock until you drop" LP. I wasn't expecting this at all but the art cover fully coloured drew my attention, now I revisit its art and picture of the band, it's impossible not to think about THE CULT(UK) too, and the movie "The last wave". Highly recommended for those into Hard Rock that haven't found anything new to check, which is not new but plesant for your ears, and yes, mostly because of the vocal tune. ENSLAVED(ITA) - Enslaved - Mayhem 2020 - HTH Productions, this is a compilation of demos done by these guys who initially started as MAYHEM(Ita) then renamed to ENSLAVED(Ita), Honestly I did not know ENSLAVED, my friend joakill mentioned it to me, and coming from italy, it was quite hard for me to ignore. I bought the digipack directly, because if this was shit, at least MAYHEM was good to have. Recommendation: buy the CD because includes both demos, not only ENSLAVED one. This CD starts with a track taken from a compilation, this is a recording from 1989, I guess it was their latest recording ever done, not too bright if you ask me. Then the ENSLAVED demo from 1989 starts, this is excellent Death/Thrash Metal, a mixture between ATHEIST(US),INVOCATOR(DNK) but not that technical, KREATOR(GER) and the typical brazilian vibe from the 80s, ATTOMICA(BRA) for instance. After this four-tracks demo MAYHEM demo from 1987 begins, also counting on four more tracks. This is the other way round, North American kind of Thrash Metal ala EXODUS(US), much more primitive but in the classic vein, you know what I mean. This is a well done digipak but lacks of an insert with lyrics and more pics, I guess none of those could be saved from the rusty pass of time. SPHINX(Ger) - Massacre of Distomo promo 2021 - independent tape, this was distributed among the underground warriors who were willing to promote them abroad. I did, so I printed some procovers and dubbed tapes. This is a classic german Thrash Metal act influenced by SLAYER(US), SODOM(GER) and the likes... I felt some AGRESSOR's vibe in a slower version of it in their track "T.A.T.E.T.S.", totally in your face unmerciful thrash. Nowadays is extremely difficult to enjoy acts because most sound like something you already heard before, but sometimes one can ignore that fact and support underground maniacs because of how they do things; for instance, this art has no digital shit to promote themselves nor digital contact, only snail mail address, the layout is handmade and the spectacular art too. Those things are little details that separate assholes willing to become stars from warriors. I respect this and their music is not fresh but great, so if you are one of those mongoloids looking for new bands out there recommended by some stupid site's algorithm, this does not need your bullshit, go ahead straight to your distro of trust, take it and play it loud. KORZUS (Bra) - Sonho Maniaco 1987 , RE 2015 by Voice Music, incredible CD w/Slipcase including poster,etc... really great reissue. In fact, this among some other reissues my friend Eduardo ( BEERMUG (BRA) ) brought me from his country, are the best I have ever seen coming from there, outstanding quality. I was not going to write about this band but as I read in metal-archives a review, stating this differs from most brazilians bands, I felt forced, this is a typical Brazilian band cloning SLAYER(US) with some METALLICA(US) influences here and there and HOBBS ANGEL OF DEATH (AUS) . This is the Brazilian SLAYER, but this does not mean they differ from brazilian acts, in fact, like any other 80s music from this country, they share a lot in terms of drumming sound, the snare is just the brazilian touch you heard on SEPULTURA(BRA), ATTOMICA(BRA), MUTILATOR(BRA) and tons of brazilian acts... impossible not to realise that fact, also counting with influcences coming from them. Besides, lyrics are in Portuguese, so associating them with ANTHARES(BRA), early VULCANO(BRA), DORSAL ATLANTICA(BRA) is also quite hard to avoid. If you are willing to experience a professional sounding brazilian thrash attack you definately should check this one; being that professional one cannot understand why they weren't that big abroad, the answer on that decade is almost the same every time one asks oneself, the lyrical language, even today Portuguese is not that accepted, even being almost our whole damned continent! But is a great album, good to have among your recordings. SECOND HELL(Hol) / SKULL CRUSHER(Hol) - Metal Deadness Split 12'' 1986 - RE 2021 Nwn, excellent split Thrash/Heavy Metal attack. My favourite was the one from A side of course, SECOND HELL is an impressive Thrash Metal act with speed and fierce with an spectacular vocalist which ressembles to Jeff Becerra, and not only vocals can be associated with POSSESSED(US) but also the guitar tune at times. All their tracks kill, sometimes falling in a kind of NWOBHM line but not too much, just used as details or passages. For those remembering the great THANATOS(Hol), Mark Staffhorst is one of the guitar players here, the guy on the famous (and now ridiculized by youngsters), Thanatos's "Official live 1987" recording. Side B brings SKULL CRUSHER up, is more Speed Metal oriented, with the first scream on "Descent from the cross" I thought this was going to be ala KAT(Pol) 's Roman (RIP), but no, it has something but not that great, anyway it is good. "Hallelujah" totally reminded me of IRON ANGEL (Ger) 's "The Metallian" , same riff, did I already mentioned that track above? what's happening to me ? Ha ha ha, afterwards the vocals became more ala VORTEX(Hol) mixed with GBH(UK) (in "City babies attacked by rats") and some BLITZKRIEG(UK) ("A Time of changes" era). In the end, the whole 12'' is great. Thanks my friend Thomas - LEP for this one! WITCHFYNDE (UK) - Give 'em Hell 1980, dubbed tape, not mine. This is a band I have ignored, never clicked in my brains, but last night I was drunk with my friend joakill who sneaked this tape on his deck and definately enjoyed the tune vibe of the 80s nwobhm, as I have been listening a lot the TRAITORS GATE (UK) LP, it was easy to recognize the english sound. First track, "Ready to roll" drumming sent my mind to MOTORHEAD (UK) (omonimous LP) in some ways and some scales to BLACK SABBATH (UK). Besides the main riff of "Leaving Nadir" whilst also with "The divine Victim" happened the same, I could not stop associating the sound with DAVID BOWIE(UK) 's "The man who sold the World" guitar tune, in general terms. I can also relate this project with ANGELWITCH (UK) (First LP era) along with LED ZEPPELIN (UK), I could even mention PINK FLOYD (UK) on the track "Unto the ages of the ages" due to having that noisy atmosphere and ending with a kind of RUSH (Can) -ish riff. Last track "Pay now - love later", is probably the most memorable of their tracks here, counts on an exquisite riff, chorus,etc... I even think I got it previously somewhere in my neurons. Definately a recommended album that will totally lead me to check more about them in the future. If you enjoy nwobhm (who doesn't??!) you should give them a try because it's original.
Hallo bastards, this time no time for my stupid vomits, only wanted to share this terrific news provided by Atomic Vision Productions: The new album from RADIATION(Svk) will be called "Reactor Collapse" and will contain 8 songs. Musically it is still mostly on the edge of thrash and death metal with some traditional metal elements with punk as fuck energy as always. Expect it somewhere in the second half of 2022. CD and tape version will come out first, so stay tuned ! contact: Atomic Vision Productions
