TORMENTO BESTIAL(Bra) is a Death metal band coming from Brazil, interesting sound and riffings... reminded me of EXODUS(US) and CELTIC FROST(Swi) in parts mixed with a great DM voice which sent me to the greeks GODLESS(Gre) from my friend Chris. Also for moments reminded me of CORPSE(Ury) an Uruguayan Grindcore Death Metal act from the 90s. Lyrics are written in portuguese which is terrific. Destrucao das Filhas is a great track. I am talking about Holocausto do bode Negro demo 2012. If you happen to be able to get it is good to have in your collection. DANGER CROSS(Gre) coming from Greece, The Art in Pain demo from 89 is pretty killer, sadly it only has 4 tracks and one is an intro! ARGH... I wish it had more tracks. Typical deathrash and to compare it with something else is like SEPTICEMIA(Gre) 's Natorum de Mondo which is from the same year and also BLOODBATH(Ser) from Serbia rang the bell when the tape starts with something of the french AGRESSOR(Fra) and naming the serbian act it is impossible not to mention SEPULTURA(Bra). GREAT PUNK HITS(Jpn) is a compilation from 1983 issuing terrific Japanese HC Punk bands like GISM(Jpn) , THE EXECUTION(Jpn) and G-ZET(Jpn). Those were the ones I enjoyed the most. GISM first track I think is the best they ever recorded, "Death Exclamation", vocals are perfect and you can identify some Japanese scales on guitars that I think even SABBAT applies on their Envenom LP. THE EXECUTION is fast HC in the typical form of the genre, agressive and killer. G-ZET is also the same and their LP drew my attention because is more HM oriented even taking some BLACK SABBATH tunes. It is a really good compilation because if you are an ignorant fuk like me you can get a pretty good introduction to their history in HC Punk and even Heavy Metal, since most of the bands have some winds of that. SLAVA(Mal) - Slava Compilation Vol. I 2001 came with SLAVA #1 fanzine from Malasya, I traded it long ago with the man in charge of it. I cannot state this whole compilation it is good because it is not, most of the bands I just don't enjoy them but I am going to remark the good ones that I did not know. ATAVISM is a Death Metal band coming from Greece, pretty common DM style with groove typical from the early 2000... it is quite good anyway because its groove gives it a Grindcore vibe. The next one is SOILS OF FATE, quite stupid name, I hate this kind of composed names for bands but it is a really good project anyway, at first DECAPITATED from Poland (Winds of Creation era) was the band who came into my mind, is like a technical death metal with few thrash and grindcore groove and vocals are deep growls. Interesting projects, riffs are great. VRYKOLAKAS(Mal) is a well known project from there, in the interview in the fanzine they mention influences from bands like NILE(US) , SUFFOCATION(US) , INCANTATION(US) and some others I cannot recall but their style is good and not a clone, in this particular track vocals sound like NILE anyway. I used to listen to their first demo and this is completely different for what I thought of this band, It used to be more like CELTIC FROST(Swi) , DEATH(US). That's it for the A side that counts on 12 bands. NYARLATHOTHEP(Mal) drew my attention because of its name and the interview here it is also great and pretty informative but the track in the compilation is just crap, I have to dig more into this band because one track is not enough to have a real opinion on it. Side B it's mostly black metal I just don't like. The papers from the Fanzine are good, I liked its design with a high weight cover in sepia, the size of the font is quite small and hard to read sometimes but the information on some interviews are great, some questions are dull and repeptitive but I know by my own experience that it is extremely tough not to repeat questions from band to band. ELECTRICUTION(Swe) it's an Swedish Thrash Metal band with all its characters. Pretty in your face Thrash metal with great riffs. Live Her in the Gutter (the bitch is fat), is the name of their demo and I really enjoyed it. The artwork is completely awful but in this case it does not apply to their music, I found the tape pretty cheap long ago and now I was rechecking it to see if I should get rid of it but It will definately keep in my collection. I can recommend this one in case you came across with it. ALCOHOLIC AGGRESSOR(Arg) coming from Barilloche, South Argentina; seems there is more than hot chocolate there, never went to that place, is quite touristic and expensive as far as I know but also beautiful; luckily this band pop out from there to thrash the shit out of there! Etilic Metal Invocation is the name of the demo I am listening at this very moment. Pure evil thrashing hell inspired by VENOM(UK) with some Punk (this even includes "Angel Dust" cover with a great similar vocal tune), similar to what WHIPSTRIKER(Bra) does in Brazilian soil. Lyrics, as their name itself claims, seems inspired by SARCOFAGO(Bra) with sex drinks and metal and of course, Alcohol is in their veins. I knew this project years ago with their tape entitled Malicious Necrovomit which is brilliant. Highly recommended music for your alcoholic desires.
