Erosion






Mortal Agony, 1988
Thoughts, 1989
Gunman MCD, 1991
III, 1992
Down, 1995
I'll take the liberty to indulge once more in a mighty reload of... German 80s thrash metal madnesssssss!!! The previous Erosion posts were separated, also I recently found a CD of the Thoughts album, plus the Gunman mcd, and finally I re-ripped the Mortal Agony LP (louder, cleaner) - so here comes a better Erosion post, totally mandatory for this incredible band. Like the living gods Eisenvater, Erosion were on We Bite records (HC/punk indie label, not very metal oriented), maybe that's why both bands did not have the impact they really should have. Erosion delivered some of the most intense thrash metal I ever heard, German or otherwise: a hard-on inducing, technical, violent, frantic mix of Holy Moses | Attitude Adjustment | Faff-Bey that I personally rank higher than Destruction or Kreator. The "Down" album has a darker "post-NYHC" vibe in the vein of Mindwar or of the last Warpath album. The EZTT contains at least the "III" album because this one is an extra big ass thrash attack of universal size in many dimensions and features the totally monstrous track "70th Floor" (which 1st version also appears on the Gunman mcd), arrrghhhhhh. It's a repost but I had to rewrite all this because Erosion FUCKING RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  1. hey zer, i downloaded the first two erosion last month, and i have a question on mortal agony. as i recall, the tracks weren't numbered, but were labeled track 01-10 so i numbered them as they are. now on track 8 he says nuclear frost. if the tracks are numbered correctly, is there just a mix up on the back of the lp jacket cause i labeled them they way you and metal archives has them, even though metal archives does make mistakes. thanks!
