Sadus - Out For Blood, 2006 CD Album Enhanced      Mascot Records - M 7173 2 Super intensity and mind ravage from the legend of thrashing death aggression! Extra high class thrash bordering on the territories of death (the style and the band - yeah some of these dudes played in Death too), this is more or less the top notch of the style: the extra wet dream of fans of Dark Angel | Wehrmacht | Destruction, only faster, meaner and technically expanded - those superb bass lines. Extra sound brutality by experts in brain surgery, as fucking fast as fucking tight and out to get you like a pack of mega-sharks. Illusions/Chemical Exposure is one most brutal debut, then highest defenestration is achieved through the unbelievable classic Swallowed In Black which managed to vaporize all metal heads despite the late 80s blossoming of death and black metal. One of the very brightest neutron stars in the EZTT thrashiverse! The following two albums have a more controlled and darker Coroner vibe, especially Anger, while Out For Blood was a nasty return to straight thrashing in Slayer fashion. All great classic stuff. We are still waiting for the follow-up bomb! Meanwhile, let's get all again swallowed in black until the end of forever! Remove brackets and unzip: [swallowed in zer] !ZER Sadus ZER!

Shellac - Dude Incredible, 2014 CD Album      Touch And Go - TG404CD Alt-rock, or post-punk, or whatever - Shellac rule the sound of scalpels. In these old ears, they have always sounded like a reply to NoMeansNo with enthusiasm for colder words and no screams. And like NMN, they have a gift for infectious grooves and mind-bending stop/go architectures under elongated bridges of words. Shellac rocks util you drop! UPDATE: All download links here. Remove brackets and unzip: [fruits] !ZER Shellac ZER! ATTENTION: this is not a test. The hosting provider for churchofzer.com just woke up after 5 years to the fact that large zip files are downloaded from here. This is apparently a breach of their ToS and I have 2 days to remove everything before access to the site is blocked. I do not think an alternative exists at a reasonable price. I am not to upgrade my current plan to a dedicated server and pay even bigger $ to satisfy the increasing quantity of visitors of this blog. So the only alternative is to switch back to free storage like Mediafire. Generating content through these free hosts will demand more work from me (because I currently generate every post automatically, now I will have to manually replace download URLs), so the frequency of posting will decrease further. Everything that is currently available for DL directly from churchofzer.com, including this post, will be gone by tomorrow night. UPDATE 11/28: to avoid taking any risk of the site being taken down, all zip files are now removed. For those who missed the Shellac, find them all here. All other archives are gone forever.

Anthem - Absolute World, 2014 CD Album      Thunderball667 - UICN-1067 36. Anthem - Engraved, 2017 CD Album      Universal Music - UICN-1091 Over 35 years of heavy metal! Champagne! As contenders to the throne of Japanese metal kings, Anthem proved their competence and longevity, but did not push Loudness aside. Their sound is somewhere between Loudness and Earthshaker, i.e. less incisive and potent than Loudness, with a more radio-friendly approach. There is amazing consistency in this discography and it is difficult to point out a much higher or much lower title. I would recommend No Smoke Without Fire, Domestic Booty or Hunting Time to get a first impression, or the two most recent albums with bigger production, but a less raw metal attack. From speed metal to traditional hard rock, always loaded with killer riffs, amazing solos and unbreakable rhythmic assaults, Anthem rocks til you drop! Heavy metalizer forever triplazer!
