Trash is everywhere so feel the joy of being a black sheep of the family. Here I go; Fúnebre from DL50(PAR) is a friend of mine who indirectly encouraged me to move my mind towards Hardcore music. Since my first day digging into the death metal graves I thought, one has to start from the beginning, that's what I did with metal and that's what I am tyring to do this time with HC. This led me to the UK82 movement, and to came across with a well written site named like this: http://www.punk77.co.uk/ Here I came across with the historical progression of this music gender and started playing DISCHARGE (UK), their demos from the 70s, to my surprise, I thought this was HC, instead I found a pretty rotten Punk music visceral and demented as I hoped not to find. This made me be really into the band... for months listening to this I ended up burning some CDRs for me and some friends around with flacs files found on slsk, you know, spread the chaos when you find it... next step was to buy the reissue on 12'' since I fukin loved this. After months listening to the perfectly entitled "Hear Nothing, See Nohting, Say nonthing" LP, with my huge dissapointment noticing the vocalist was removed and replaced by an ugly vocalist I thought I would never enjoy them as a HC band... well, wrong was I yes! ; happened that the most I disgust it, the most I enjoyed it... finally I can say it's fukin killer! ... drunk with power, obssessed with death, death n destruction, drunk with power! power! poweeeehhhh!!! I am lying here... my first encounter with the 60s wave of Punk was RAMONES, but honestly, I need speedy music. Back with the DISCHARGE's music, well... I think is no news after few listenings that MOTORHEAD(UK) was the keypoint in the whole music world, the distorted ripped bass sound is everything, one can see this on VENOM almost at the same time when HC was developing in UK. But as I never gived a damn shit on the music genre, I can't believe it also helped to expulse HC from the deadbabieswoumbfactory. As I cannot explain myself with lots of nerd information about bands because I am not a living enciclopedia, I can only say what are the steps I took to enrich my music tastes in this field. Now I must thank Fúnebre, you were right indeed, thank you very much for your struggle my friend. After loving the HC Punk compilation previously mentioned here, yes, the Japanese one, well... I am moving on... BAD BRAINS (US) the omonimous LP from '82 is a kind of HC version of their previous LP which is Punk, you know, same ideas but slower. This one was recommended by Emiliano from DEFORME (URY) long long time ago, but I usually ignore recommendations because i need to organize myself to keep each step in my schedule for checking bands I still don't know... finally I did it pal, this LP kills, I completely hate the reggae music, abhor it with my whole skeleton, but the rest is perfect, without knowing this icon, one cannot realise how much this helped to influence bands like LOS CRUDOS(URY), FUN PEOPLE(ARG),etc,etc,etc... but the most I listen the most I astonish myself... can you believe this track named "Big Take over" starts almost exaclty like "Nosferatu" from HELLWITCH (US) !! ???? Yes my friend, I have to dig in some old interviews to check if Patrick was into them which I believe he was. Another step taken was moving to MINOR THREAT (US), there's a compilation with their EP's from 81 released in 84 which is super, my favourite tracks are almost all, but "In My Eyes" and "I don't want to hear it" are from beyond. Do you know what I thought when I could stand this kind of almost clean vocal tunes? Hey... I ignored bands from the US Thrashcore scene from the 80s because I disgusted the vocalists... should I check these bands again? SURE I MUST! My first decision was to relisten to WEHRMACHT (US) , Shark Attack LP and my fukin dispiceable mother, how could I ignore this jem all this time!? I had it in mind like good LP but lacking of good vox, shit man! this is fantastic, from the beginning to the end, drummer is beyong madness, I fukin loved his infinit-outstanding-suprise beats on the Snare! Then, I reminded another band I read about in GLORIOUS TIMES book named CRYPTIC SLAUGHTER (US) like what? ten years ago? ... they were contemporary to the previous mentioned, and they are faster and rawer! Drums kick your mouth instantly! I am talking about Convicted LP from 86, probably in the future I will vomit more words on each LP but separately and in detail... who knows if i will have the will (of death) to do it. I hate listening to digital music as previously stated, but this genre blew my mind so I also felt tempted by Just Another American Band 12'' LP from the gods VERBAL ABUSE (US)released in 83, an LP was about to buy just for the sake of knowing them because I read flyers with their name and thought they could kill... guess what? fukin fast HC with few Thrash touches... excellent! Returning to the bloody England (read it with a potato in your mouth so you can sound like a real bloody English! Haha, just a joke english readers , I know there's none anyway). My friend Nikki from DURO Y A LA ENCIA (ex-RADIO/now Fanzine) told me I should check CHAOS UK (UK), what a name ma meeenn!! I fukin did it, this time violating my personal rule of not deorganizing my listening but! their demo is from 81 and kills, but beyond the killing... did you listen to the "Victimised" track?! Ask Paul Speckmann whose reverb he took the idea from to apply on DEATH STRIKE (US) !!! I can't stop being amuzed by this coincidences... anyway, their huge progression in sound terms is in their first EP namaed Burning Britain from 82 which is perfect sounding, MOTORHEAD-ish bass here like the DISCHARGE (UK) EP's like the Decontrol EP'' ,etc,etc... so it is fantastic. I took one step forward since their demo and EP's are short and got their first LP, I realised this guys are up to here... Burning Britain, their demo and another EP before the LP are good, I forgot the damned long named that EP had... it's OK but not as outstanding as these previous two are. So no need to add more words for this, keep in mind I am a fan of the rotten rebels. Well, for now I think it's all... I will keep my hands dirty with all these for quite a long time, there is so much to learn! besides, I have some southamerican jems that I won't write about them this time because I need to get into them more deeply before saying shit! ha ha. I hope this can help someone who is willing to get into the roots of fast music, sadly it took me years to realise about all these... some stuff I already knew, some others I did not... but it's plenty of unignorable jems and it was my time to get into them... so keep the hatred flame burning and avoid depresion!
