Metal Virgins

01. Metal Virgins - Animal People, 1984 LP The snow is melting, the smog is thickening, Spring is coming. So today it's 2 for 1 (don't miss the Fasts post below) and we get an extra dose of noise. This has always been a strange record and I was never able to part with it, even if I only listen to this twice a decade. One review says it sounds like punks having read about thrash metal in a magazine but without having never heard any. It's a pretty fair description. There is a lot of charm in this mess, and also a lot of despair. Strange snare overdubs, awkward riffing, lyrics and vocals from a doomed poet, it is actually a brilliant UZO (Unidentified Zerring Object). Needs more frequent playing, let's make a Foobar script. !ZER Metal Virgins ZER! Remove brackets and unzip: [animal rezer]
