The Sexual

The Sexual - Complete Discography, 1983/1985 Aaaaaaah oui oui oui for Japanese 80s thrashing punk at its most Japanese! Actually they also sound very Finnish (Kaaos, Massacre, etc.) with the inevitable zerrrrr joyful Kuro | The Execute references. This is true 80s hardcore with dark metal riffing here and there, absolutely marvelous cultosaurus punk death from very far!

Imbalance

Imbalance - Period Three Implies Chaos, 2010 Once again I have to amend the steady flow of stupid things I might write about "new bands" (not from the 80s...) because here is a newcomer that rips your head off in the manner of the almighty Sadus. In the realm of fast technical yet groovy and addictive thrash metal, Imbalance is close to the best thing I've heard in years and it's my favorite 2010 release. If you're into the more obscure thrash scene (not in the Municipal Waste | Gama Bomb trend) of the likes of Vektor, if you love advanced, modern metal that blends with the roots of 80s thrashing without being a caricature, and above all, simply near perfect metal with LOTS OF CLASS, bang your brains on Imbalance!!! 2010 Thrash Metal Nobel Prize!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CD rip. Buy this MASTERPIECE!!!! Digipak comes with a nice key holder, zer. Imbalance on MySpace

Bethlehem - Stönkfitzchen

Bethlehem - Stönkfitzchen, 2010 ACH ! Yessss the teutonic mental genius is back and crazier than ever! This is only a mini CD with one old rerecorded song and five new needles to stick into your cranium, but this shit is so fucking good you can push the REPEAT button. This is S.U.I.Z.I.D. | Mein Weg quality stuff. The sound is a bit too compressed but the songs are such a killer assault on your sanity it does not really matter. 31 minutes of exquisite suicidal double hammers and saws! The music is a perfection of dark doom vice as only Bethlehem can make it - deadly heavy, melodic and unique - and the vocals are crazier than ever. A major piece of art of brain liquefaction! AWESOME PUTRID PILE OF ZERRRRRR!R!RR!R!RRRRRR !R !R!R!R! !RR !R!RRRRRRRRRRRRRR !R! !R! R!RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR !R!R !RR! R! R! !RRRRRRRRRR !R! R!R !R!R RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR !R! R!R! R!R!

The Blood Divine

Awaken, 1996 Mystica, 1997 Great soundtrack to the current weather: The Blood Divine made doom metal with 70s rock influences. The 1st Anathema singer is there, as well as several ex Cradle Of Filth people, but no worry, this has nothing to do with CoF except on the geographical level. Very excellent dark metallic rock with atmospheres and great groove, this band was as great as its existence was short. Mandatory piece for early Anathema fans (with less death) and early Stillborn fans (with more metal). CD rip.

Shellshock

Mortal Days + Self Defence e.p. + comp tracks, 1987/1989 (2009 remaster) Protest And Resistance, 1991 Protest And Resistance, 1991 (2009 remaster) Fiel Lärm, 1992 (2009 reissue) Graythem... Of Chaos + 9 live tracks (1992 - 2009) + 1 comp track, 1994 (2009 remaster) Bombastic Japanese thrashgasm explosion alarm of mega zerrRrRRrr RR R R R Rrrr RrrrRrrRR!R!RrRRR!RrrR!r !r !R !RRr rr rRrr R!r !r!R!RR!R r !R !!!! Welcome to another unavoidable piece of heavenly top class golden heavy music. Self Defence, Mortal Days and Protest are the wet and warm dream records of all Nuclear Assault | Excel | Rose Rose | Slayer addicts: highly dynamic, groovy and memorable thrash and crossover to bang your head and mosh around the house all night long to, with excellent execution and production, the trademark Japanese intensity and for once massive, awesome bass guitar lines that drive the insanity instead of just being there as in most thrash. But then things reach level 666 with the last two masterpieces Fiel Lärm (cult German from Japan) and Graythem, both full of augmented multi-dimensional madness that has macerated through lots of mind bending Coroner, some eviscerating S.O.B. and above all the MASTER EXPERIMENTING SUPREME GENIUS GALAXY of Doom, whose bass player they share (explaining the crazy bass lines) - or the newest Atheist on acid. Insanely insanely great!!!!! I'm all wet and warm. I've only listened to Shellshock today. Each CD twice, fuck yeah! And it's not even night time yet. Then I'll replay the whole Doom catalog. The universe has a point after all. CD rip. Buy the AMAZING Abstract Discord reissue box set (Protest + Fiel Lärm + extended Graythem + live DVD), YESSSSSSS!!! RRRRRAAARARRGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
