Hallo everyone, while world bruns we stand. But because it is not burning here yet ( or not that heavily )... but probably will and we will become finally ashes, haven't you been waiting for that? man... I wish we disappear from once and for all in a blink of an eye... what's reality? what's our existence? If we have rationality that discriminates us from common animals what the fuk is this shit we live in? Wouldn't be beautiful to exterminate the whole army, all religions , the whole wealth and be finally free with no rulers, no masters, no one to tell you what to do, how to behave, just be... be fukin free, a cold beer for those in the same tune, and a fuk-you-no-way to those pretending to become the next rulers, the next repressors, the next supremacy in a world of shit, those who believe that is life, on top of others misery, buy your next ticket to the sun and burn fukers, burn. Think for yourself, take care, getting old is a trip for those not willing to take it... "I sentence you to live!!" CARCINOGEN(Can) - Perseverance Demo 1993 , dubbed one, Death Metal in the 90s veins of course, weird though... has some stuff quite unique, like arrangements and melodies, and at the same time vocalist reminds me to what Mike Browning was doing on "Thresholds" LP. The whole production was great, this demo has a great sound quality, dynamic and real. I found it not too good but not bad either, interesting in fact, I believe the drummer is the most outstanding on this recording, for instance "Scientific Blessing" has some insane parts and also "Malignant Cenotaph" which starts fast as fuk. Thanks Yiannis for this one! Женская Болезнь (Rus) - 1я Леди СССР 1990 demo , I could only track this on shitty mp3, for historical purposes and to invite others not to ignore this gem, I am writing about it. Well this is much more interesting demo than the single I reviewed before, much more uncompromissed style with kind of british heavy metal wave on it coming from ROCK GODDESS(UK) may be, but in a thrashier manner. As soon as the demo begins I could not avoid the Клиника(Rus) vox tune and way of singing. when this goes for the thrashier and more obscure parts like on "4_Айн Цвайн .." track , bands like PROPELLER(Rus) , KRÜGER(Rus) and even Коррозия Металла(Rus) could be related. I also got this "Фестиваль Черёмуха" demo 1991 which suks badly... it's a kind of live tape that has nothing to do with what they played before... I think upto this recording one should try to get everything from them. I will add this on my neverending wishlist because is totally impressive, from time to time when those more Rock / Heavy Metal parts, the sound gets really familiar for those into the origins of Latinamerican Heavy Metal , took me to bands like ACIDO(Ury), RIFF(Arg) , SUPER RATON(Arg) , SS (Ven) their recordings from 85, and I don't know what else because I am an ignorant fuk. Like always, if someone can get a decent copy from a decent source please write to me! addition: have fun with this like when I had fun with KIMM SIXX (Dnk) vids ha ha!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3Ynk1gvpLE , I don't know if ORAL(Swe) have videoclips but I picture this one in my mind as it were one of them ha ha! PROSECTOR(Pol) - Terrible Ceremonic demo 1988, RE 2020 Trashing Madness Records. If DORSAL ATLANTICA(Bra) were polish, then this is how it would have sounded, infuences coming from Mike's DESTRUCTION(Ger) on guitars are also there. This has a really childlish artwork but the music is totally braziliagressive and when on tupatupa you can feel the polish fast insanity. Pretty good recording and sound for the time."Odwieczna Psom" reminded me to "Mutilator" track from MUTILATOR(Bra) and the track "Na Poźarcie Psom" also reminded me of EXTERMINATOR(BRA). If you get this you won't be disappointed at all! This demo worths it! PROSECTOR(Pol) - Total Shit 1987 demo, this is the second part of the aforementioned Compilation by Thrashing Madness records CD , This is hugely fast deathrashing ferocity, since the second demo was first in order, now I see how they evolved in terms of production, but music is absolutely and equally in the same vein which is fukin impressive, probably a little bit more chaotic. I must say I still prefer the 88 demo but having both demos together is a good opportunity to check every detail. If I would compare them with another local act it would be SLAUGHTER(Pol) because of the speed approach. Another polish grave excellently profanated by this label. KRABATHOR(Cze) - Breath of Death demo #1 1988, dubbed, this is their first assault and as one could expect, they enjoyed all kind of thrash metal so you will find some tracks coming from an obscure deathrash background up to some speed metal tracks. Besides that, the whole tape is really dynamic with a rehearsal sounding of course, one of the things one can appreciate, and get hooked by, is the vocals effect, which I believe is nothing more than a bad quality one, but killer he he, all sung in Czech, so expect weirdness on spits and screams. KRABATHOR(Cze) - Total Destruction Demo #2 1988, dubbed, if I compare this one to the previous demo, this is more homogenous, you get pure Thrash Metal with the same strange vocals that give them that death metal touch. I believe this could have been their keypoint into defining their style at the time, or at least during the 80s. I felt some IMPERATOR(Pol) -ish riffs mixed with DEATH(US) in a rehearsal environment, also made me think a little bit of NECROPHILIAC(Spa) and SLAYER(US) , while on the more speedy parts METALLICA(US) is also found . This is not better than the first one but not bad to check their next step. KRABATHOR(Cze) - Brutal Death demo #3 1988, dubbed, the first track "Muceni V Ohni" is fukin catchy with an exquisite riff ala DESTRUCTION(GER) / AGRESSOR(FRA) , "Apocrypha" follows it being much obscure, noisy and fast. "Hirici Ko Stel" begins with a weird intro fading into a DEATH(US) kind of riff, is more or less an intro. "Brutal Smrt" another great thrash riff as it if were from KRÜGER(Rus) mixed with fast agression. "Zloba" goes on as if it were from a different recording session , slower nothing to highlight, the other tracks are better and "Memory" ends this with an awful melancholic outro. This demo is better than the "Total Destruction" one but nothing beats the "Breath of Death". Anyhow these are interesting for historical purposes and to thrash your head with czech thrashing death. Thanks joakill for these recordings! IMPERATOR(Pol) - Eternal Might demo 1988, dubbed. Finally got a copy of this one. I am so used to their Live 87 tape that is not possible for me not to compare it with that one, which also includes the tracks found here. Starts with "Endless Sacrifice" sounding as if it were a recording done by ANARCHUS(Mex) but with a much deep voice and rythm changes. This is a more dm-oriented recording and it is really well done. "Swieta Wojna" follows the same ideas with hugely fast and crazy drumming. "Lucifer's Legions" shows musicianship on the top, they are so tight, bass and guitars fit so well together with drums and vocals with pure hate with little simple but effefctive reverb/chorus effects. "Persecutor" closes the demo, a pretty well rememberable track from their "The Time before Time" LP . This is without any doubt, a key for their absolutely perfectly LP achieved afterwards, this indeed is mighty. As this copy comes from a reissue rip, a couple of bonus were added, "Armegeddon" , excellent track in the very same vein, and "Persecutor (re-edit)" with more bass on the bass. If you happened to be shocked by their capabilities on their LP, well you'll die when getting this one recorded as power trio. This is a total must. Thanks jaokill for all these audios I could finally get. INVOCATION SPELLS (Chl) - Descent the black throne 2014, CD RE by Metal Command Records. This is their second full length, I have no clue how the hell they sounded before this one, I managed to see them live in buenos aires, argentina. I almost lost my jaw when I saw the monster drummer how fukin astonishingly he played, the whole band is fukin tight and you will hear not even a small mistake, it was tremendously impressive. These guys have lots of classical influences coming from SLAYER(US) , DESTRUCTION(Ger) , CELTIC FROST(Swi) , VENOM(UK) , BATHORY(Swe) , AURA NOIR(Nor) , GEHENNAH(Swe) ,etc,etc... but although they count on pretty well known almost-riffs, they always add some extra amount of intelligent changes which always caught you just right in time when you are about to say "ah this is like..." . Luckily seems they played lots of tracks from this album because I can remember some of them. This is a pretty catchy Black/Thrash form of Metal , with vik, we were the whole time thinking of OMEGA(Gre) because some parts were pretty similar and the vocal tune too, on this particular album I guess they are similar to NOCTURNAL(Ger) and some VELHO(Bra) at some moments. This is not an spectacular band, but it is pretty good and totally devoted when live. If you have the chance to see them, well, go fukin ahead, you will really enjoy it! WITCHNIGHT(Arg) - Unholy Speed Metal EP 2017, CD RE 2022 Metal Command. This includes the previously-reviewed 4 track demo tape plus three tracks. The first four tracks are quite awful in terms of production, I felt those were betterly suited on tape, too clean sound on CD, really digital feeling. But the next three tracks are really well done , much better, the whole sound is well produced. These are "Tyrannical Warlock" , "Knights of Eternity" which is almost an intro, and "Trumpets of Revelation" that counts on a great solo. In the end, not a bad compilation. I am really intrigued by their latest album. Killer band, years waiting to see them live and finally achieved! POISON(Ger) - Rehearsal 12.1986 , dubbed. This is probably their best rehearsal with optimum sound quality. If you are looking for more occult tracks from these masters of death, this is for you! 90 minutes of pure poison! Thanks again joakill for this one. TOTAL MAYHEM(Bra) - Three Faces of Violence demo 2003, CDR. This is an outstanding crude almost cross-over Thrash Metal band worshiping DESTRUCTION(GER) but at the same time MX(Bra) influences are notorious. For instance the track "Disgrace" has a similar vocal rythm to what was "Fighting for the Bastard" . Epic lyrics, "Transgenic Food" JA JA! I was really surprised because the artwork shows off not what I was expecting at all. I think this project could be compared to ALCOHOLIC FORCE (Col) and tons of other Thrash Metal classics from the 80s . Really recommended, thanks eduardoom! BLACK UNIFORMS(Swe) - Faces of Death LP 1989, unofficially released 2022 by Hardcore Horror Recs on awful pink 12'', I did not know this was pink shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit... anyway at least sounds pretty good, to continue with my slow-phased-almost-research on HC Punk Thrash metal mixture, I discovered this project thanks to my friend Rizal (astonishing recommendation!) . This is an inyourface Hardcore Thrash album plenty of interesting ideas, great solos and rythms with an impressive vocals which ressembles to SKITLICKERS(Swe) and CRUDE SS(Swe) , the overall music is a kind of DISCHARGE(UK) along with ENGLISH DOGS(UK) due to its not-so-common metallic stuff but not that skilled, plus a kind of CHAOS UK(UK) aggression. I think this album kills and "Trapped" track with its almost-cut riff just blows my brain. You will come across with funny and impressive lyrics, all tracks are great and these shine: "Sacrifice", "Do you conform" about dull life at work, "Teenage Waste" about how we waste our lives , "Acid Punk" , "Trapped", "Uncut" about cutting scenes on horror films hahahaha epic! , "A dead cop is a dead one" about repression and last but not least "Computerworld" which does the same to everyone "MAKES ME SICK!!!" . I also happened to realise there's a hidden track on Side A which reminds me of a 200 MUERTOS(Par) riff. Highly recommended for fans of the aforementioned projects and those looking for not only good but rebel musik. TEROK NOR(Ger) - Rematerialization Fails EP 2022, tape by Dying Victims Prods. This cassette with four tracks and a fukin weird and incisively sci-fi artwork totally drew my attention and got what expected, this is a fukin chaotic Technical Death/Thrash Metal project coming from the German lands. I am glad bands like CRYPT DAGGER(GER) and this one appear from time to time, with original and atypical aesthethical approaches making their way in a total uncompromissed manner, as it must be, this is extreme metal, fuk the rest. Here you will have an amazing thrash combination with kind of classics like AGRESSOR(Fra), MERCILESS(Swe), DEATH(US), little-fast-parts ala AUTOPSY(US) but with a thashier essence from time to time coming with a Black Metal aura on the back as if it were "Black Thrash Attack" from AURA NOIR(Nor) which makes you think also of INFANT DEATH(Nor) ("Funeral Massacre" EP era) and on their first track I felt the sci-fi cosmos chords ala VEKTOR(US) . A little detail to take into account, the vocals seems to count on no effects at all so this is as unpure as it can sound, or may be too little, so this is pure gutvomitting spits plus a vocalist tune in the way the not-so-new-wave-of-norwegian-autopsy-worship-metal have done these latests years , first two coming into my mind, MABUSE(Nor) and OBLITERATION(Nor) , so you know what I mean. This is a pretty killer tape no one should be ignoring. I hope they release something in the very same line soon with more tracks. I will keep this around my deck with no hesitation! For those curious, this band got its name from "Star Trek" serie and also seems to be the whole source of their inspiration, pretty nerd but I admit they were originally smart, even though I have never checked the serie, I was always intrigued by it and is on my soon-to-watch list. A beermug in the black skies for these fukers. buy, dub or steal, drink the beer and killllll! DEMACRATOR(Pan) - The Legacy 2022 by Zzooouhh Records, unknown Panamenian Death Metal to me, I think I never listened to any band from that country during this era, these recordings date from 1991 to 1992. First track shocked me because I thought of "Total Destruction" by our locals ANGKOR VAT(Ury) but then it bends into a melodic Heavy Metal line due to its solo. This begins with their "Purgatory" Demo 1 from 1991, which shows off lots of influences coming from the late 80s beginning of the 90s, DEATH(US), ENTOMBED(US), NAPALM DEATH(UK) and so on endlessly. Few aspects also reminded me of ECLAMPSY(Ury) 's "Extreme Feelings" LP because counts on a acoustic intro on their last track and the sound of the drums took me also to their mighty and ignored demo "Without Mercy" . Besides some SEPULTURA(Bra) influences are here and there from the "Beneath the Remains" era, I heard "Innerself" riff somewhere. And what drew my attention the most, was the fact that some riffs sounded just like the ancient russian ways... I could not avoid thinking of PHANTASM(Rus) , in general terms it is indeed a mixture of lots of stuff. "Terror Sight" demo 2 from 1992 is more into the slower and groomer parts of DEATH with more dark vocals, probably in the line of BENEDICTION(UK) 's "Subconcious Terror" . "Reign of Desolation Reh Demo" from 1991 closes this compilation. Here you can appreciate they melted into a more Thrash Metal direction even though they still sound obscure but vocals are less deep and more ripping. In general terms I found them quite on the average but the first demo is pretty nice. I think that makes this compilation worth it. Thank you very much erik for this one! Маркиза (Rus) - Маркиза LP 1989 by Мелодия Records, what can I do with my russian desires? This is a Hard Rock / Heavy Metal project in the vein of GIRLSCHOOL(UK) (Demolition era), I can hardly compare it with something else honestly. I liked the vocal tune of this Markiza de sade! he he! Tracks are all mixed into rock, then ballad, then rock, then ballad to make it interesting, the pre-last track from A-side even has some kind of PINK FLOYD(UK) vibe. For those not sure if this worth it, check it online before, but in my mind this was a pretty interesting catch, I believe this is one of the very first Hard Rock / Heavy Metal bands coming from there that I can stand and even enjoy. Круиз (Rus) - Круиз-1 LP 1987 by Мелодия Records, another Hard Rock/Heavy Metal band from the mother russia, highly skilled, I believe influenced by some VAN HALEN(US) and YNGWIE MALMSTEEN(Swe) so expect interesting solos everywhere, this guitar heroe is pretty impressive, the vocal tune reminded me of POKOLGEP(Hun) . Last track from A-Side is the heaviest and fastest that also takes you to Мастер(Rus) from their first LP era. On the B-Side you get the JUDAS PRIEST(UK) influences and more Мастер . Another unknown band to me that was a pretty good catch! Let's see if these two bands are the gateways to more Heavy metal from there that I could have disposed of in the past due not to bearing with it. D.T.P. (Arg) - #1 2023, First issue from this underground fanzine which by its name you know what to expect. Its spanish-written (this should also be published in english due to the interesting interviews done) and the fact that made this so appealing to a reader is that is fluent due to be written by different collaborators. Here you will find a too much mystical NECRO MANIAC(UK) interview, a short DESOLATOR(US) interview, a summary of DESEXULT(DNK) / SAMHAIN(DNK) history which is really good ( cheers manuel! ), a pile of reviews, a pretty good and interesting APES OF GOD (Sal) interview , a band from El Salvador, a NOCTIS INVOCAT(Gua) interview, not my kind of beer but this interview, along with COMBAT NOISE(Cub) are immensively well approached interviews, mostly the COMBAT NOISE one which is fukin amazing, lots of details got covered, great and fluent exchange between the interviewer and the interviewee making this a full of information text, one of the best interviews I have ever read in my life I guess (well done Carlos! ). You can also find a PERVERSE RITES(Per) interview and a short summary of the current Peruvian underground, this was a great idea!! DEATHHAMMER(Nor) was also covered here, sadly the interviewee did not fullfill the wholeness of some questions which made this interview not that good, but the questions were the right ones. Cez congrats on this first issue and let's see what will come in the future! Thanks to its content, this fanzine should have been better xeroxed/manufactured , I hope that can be achieved for future releases. Excellent papers one should get instantly. Highly recommended for those who can read spanish. contact: evil.damnations.records at hotmail . COFFINSLAVES(Arg) - #1 2023, Another argentinian Fanzine which embraces you with a really good MANZER(Fra) interview ( cheers Shaxul! ) followed by some good short-info flyers for bands , A hugely interesting interview for a female-vocal romanian project named LARVAE(Rom) (the girl ended up being Italian but formed the band there), a short but good OCTAGON(Col) interview and another short one for SAURON(US) then a really interesting interview with CHRIST SNAKS(Pan) with Raul (From Panama Bowels blog) short and great. MORGE(Arg) was also interviewed (cheers Sergio!) and lastly the nowadays kings/queen of Russian Thrash Metal MYSTIC STORM(Rus) . Even though all interviews are short, they are right into the point, the whole fanzine is short in fact, but that does not make it less valueable, I really enjoyed the way it is written, because does not focus on anything else more than the interview itself. This is a really good first issue. Cheers alan! Recommended for those reading Spanish too! contact: despreciable.realidad at gmail .
