Epidemic - Exit Paradise, 1994 CD Album Metal Blade Records - CDZORRO 79 05. Epidemic - Lament, 1994 Vinyl 7" 33 ⅓ RPM EP Metal Blade Records - 14041-7 Thrash metal über alles! An underground hit in the late 80s, Epidemic managed to keep it fresh although they displayed very low originality. But with twelve tons of intensity per song, that builds up personality: rage, blood, cannibals as in a blast of The Accüsed | Angkor Wat through an Exodus | Sacrilege BC blender. For more modern references, addicts like me of the Hacked To Death album by Detherous will find in early Epidemic the origin of their happiness. Then the frantic crossover of the Epidemic demos, my favorite of the lot, matured into darker things on the last two albums. More downward tunnels, less speed, still heavy thrashing. Amazering thrasherizing screaming riff machine! Remove brackets and unzip: [maladie] !ZER Epidemic ZER! |

I agree, Epidemic weren't that original, but man, they had energy!

Thanx a lot for this post!
ReplyDeleteLooks like "The Truth Of What Will Be..." contains only 7 tracks.
The CD combines four songs into two tracks.
DeleteSorry, my mistake, i didn't notice it.
ReplyDeleteNo problem, my tagging process is lazily automated and does not combine song titles...
