Hellchild








... To The Eden, 1992
Where The Conflict Reaches, 1993
Gleam In The Gloom, 1994
In Words, For Words, 1995
Cirulating Contradictions, 1997 Track 01 Track 07
Bareskin, 1999
Bareskin bonus CD (covers), 1999
Split with Kilara - The Kutna Hora Split Compact Disc, 1998
Split with Word Salad, 2000 [NEW] Word Salad side
Wish, 2000
Split with Converge, 2001
I'm fucking pissed today because of a drummer-induced heartbreak in my new thrash metal project I had been longing for the past 25 years, so here is some ugly Japanese death metal. Not ugly in the sense of ultraveryfastandfasterthanthepreviouslyfastest, but ugly in the sense of ugly, making Entombed sound like Shrek. The first discs start the onslaught in the mid-tempo thrash/death angle, while the following output focuses on the most maniac groove you can find - try not to bang your head! Also Hellchild have my favorite vomit-singer ever - a true artist of the stomach - and some of these guys were in the invicible grindcore terror machine named Force, so shut up and zer.
The Bareskin bonus CD features covers from G.I.S.M., Metallica, Whiplash, U2(!!!), Destruction, Motörhead, Sex Pistols, Exodus and Slayer interludes. I believe this was also released as the "Medley" 10", withtout the G.I.S.M. cover song.
In Words, For Words is a mcd with covers too: Kiss (!!!!), Discharge, Attitude Adjustment, Napalm Death + 1 Hellchild original.
The is a Venom cover on the Kilara split too. Zer!
What's my favorite album here ? I don't know. Probably Wish, or Circulating Contradiction.
CD rip and vinyl rip of the split with Word Salad (stupidly named "World" Salad in my rip, sorry):

Hellchild:
1. The Movement Outward
2. Human
Word Salad:
1. Death is Our Hero
2. Simulated Telepathy
3. Emotional Bondage
4. ?

If anyone knows where to find the splits with Bongzilla, Discordance Axis and especially Multiplex, I'd be happy to complete the list.

Faff-Bey






Back From The Grave, 1988
Empty Head 7", 1989
Doesn't Feel Like Laughing...It's The Second Funeral, 1990
Birthday, 1991 Track 5
New Religion, 1994
Should Have Stayed In The Grave, 2005
MEGA ARMAGGEDDON ZERRrrRRRRrrRRrrR!!!! Insane thrash metal and crossover invasion from Finland to satisfy that endless craving for non-stop super groovy sonic murder. The first album is a ripping assault of Terveet Kädet-style merciless hardcore with an excellent dose of metal; the second leans more on the metal side - more Holy Moses | Erosion-style frantic super sledgehammer-thrash destruction; the third album adds the early Prong touch - more groove, less speed, and the fourth album loads a ton of heavy metal rock not unlike some of TK's most groovy albums of the late 90's | early 00's (no real surprise since Faff-Bey's guitarist joined TK after New Religion). Let's drool!
Should Have Stayed In The Grave is a compilation with 23 tracks from all records (eps included) and 4 unreleased songs from 1996. The Ace Of Spades cover is one of the best on the market. THRASH TIL ZER!

Funny Farm





Pseconds, 1993
Potential Hazard, 1994
Biting The Hand, 1995
Amputate, 1997
Ultra groovy Swedish rocking metal! Let's mention late Prong, Biohazard and Omnitron and there you go with some killer mid-tempo thrash, fist in the air. Or elsewhere, it's up to you. My favorite is the extra big ass pumping Potential Hazard, this one always makes the whole house mosh til dawn. And that distorted bass guitar sound, zerRrrRRRrrRrR!!!!
CD rip.

Hellbastard








Ripper Crust, 1986
The Good Go First... Hate Militia, 1987 (rel. 2000)
Heading For More Darkness (Heading For Internal Darkness + 9 live tracks), 1988 (1998 CD reissue)
Natural Order, 1990
Discography 1986-1987-1988, rel. 2009
Eco-War, 2009
The Need To Kill, 2009
The rebirth of Hellbastard is excellent news, their 2 new 2009 releases are full of great new tracks and re-recordings of old classics (even if The Need To Kill has way too much triggered bass drums in the mix!) - and a Slayer cover. Despite the lyrics and all the ties to the punk/crust scene, this stuff is totally metal. In the beginning there was Venom, and then Amebix, whose level of Venomness is already noticeable, and then Hellbastard's heavy dirty style proceeded to repackage the whole hierarchy, a tad faster. The amazing Natural Order is a 120% classic Exodus-style thrash metal album, it's fast, heavy, clean and mean, I think it's my favorite.

The big man is dead, long live the king! So long Peter Steele, that was very unzer of you. Zerrest of condolences to the survivors.
On a blogish personal note, I've been hooked on Carnivore since forever because the first album is the best Venom record ever released, and Retaliation sits near the very top of Mount Classics of the crossover hardcore | thrash metal family (btw Agnostic Front's best Cause For Alarm features the Carnivore drummer). And then came the ultra monster Slow, Deep And Hard, which elevated the best of Carnivore to the power of excruciating doom! This record is high high high on the Eternal Top 10 ZerRrrrRrRRRRRRrr List, along with the fake live Origin Of The Feces. Did anyone else assemble with equivalent dexterity such potent grooves with almost dbeat thrashing through über catchy themes that you can't get out of your head for DECADES? All wrapped in immense and utterly ironic heaviness, so much zer at the same place... Other highlights in this discography are the following masterpieces Bloody Kisses and Dead Again, hypra fantastic releases of unbelievable class!!! All in all, Mr. Steele produced exactly the right music to mourn him, I don't see any better soundtrack for his funerals.
And now, you die!
