Get ready to lose more hearing. The two EPs redefine the word "saturation" the right way, serving well their fast thrashing hardcore on the fringe of the then burgeoning grindcore sound. The LP is a bit more rocking the punk with metal riffing, harmonica and whale sounds, and is overall a bit more sophisticated and less noisy, but still excellently excellent. This is classic UK 80s turbozer noise for the campaign for musical destruction!

  1. Along with Desecration (AZ) these guys played a totally forgotten and insanely chaotic form of crossover thrash. The EPs in particular reach levels of mania that I still haven't heard many come close to 25 years later. The LP? Of course a ripping thrash record with harmonica solos was not understood by the hardcore scene and why you can still pick their records up for next to nothing. One of the best bands of the era for sure....... (demo is also killer)

    1. Absolutely. This stuff was making 80s Mayhem sound like Abba.
