Hostages Of Ayatollah

01. Hostages Of Ayatollah - ANTHOALOGY, 1982/1989 Vinyl LP Compilation Limited Edition x 2, DVD      X-Mist Records - XM-095      Reissue from 2009 Very finest German punk rock abrasion! Not the merciless thrash of Inferno, rather the more melodic approach of Funeral Oration or Upright Citizens. If you need a break of Chilean death metal (more tomorrow!), try this excellent collection that, I think, gathers all the HOA recordings (but I was too lazy to read the giant German booklet to really be sure). At least it has all I used to know from their EPs and compilation appearances. Punks til zer! Remove brackets and unzip: [je suis tollah] !ZER Hostages Of Ayatollah ZER!
