   | My America + Do We Really Want To Hurt You? (Revenge CD), USA 1983/1984 Kill For Christ + compilation tracks + 2 excellent live sets (The Origin of the Straw Dogs CD), USA 1982/1984 The FU's were so good it sounds like they were paid. Forever in the highest stratosphere of American hardcore along with Die Kreuzen, DRI, Adrenalin OD and everybody else. ZER we say ! The FU's on Wikipedia    |
 | Terrorizer - demo, USA 1988 The kings' demo from the Headache vinyl bootleg. This is at the same time awesome and useless since every song appears tighter, faster and with better production on "world downfall". Yes, but this is TERRORIZER!!! ZER!!! Vinyl rip without all the Nausea tracks, I never really cared for Nausea but I was wrong and now I just sold the LP. Zer. Terrorizer website |
 | Neurosis - short wave warfare, USA 1990 Very good live recording from the first two albums tour, when they were more hardcore sounding. Very zer. I didn't know it had been officially released. This is the vinyl rip without the 3 added tracks from the official CD. |
 Killer - shock waves, Belgium 1984 Not to be mistaken for the Swiss Killer, nor the French Killers... Zer. French speaking heavy metal dudes love the word "killer". Anyway this record is a blast of early Motörhead and Saxon with memorable, excellent traditional 80s energetic hard rock songs, great musicians, good production, double bass drums, denim and leather and lyrics about king kong and earthquakes. No excuse not to like it! Zer!!! Vinyl rip. Error : album title set as "schock wave" instead of "shock waves". Sorry. track list Killer on MySpace Torrent with Killer's complete discography |
 | reich orgasm etc, France 1982/1983 SALOPE ! JE TE BAISERAI ! SALOPE ! JE T'ENCULERAI ! SALOPE ! JE TE FERAI JOUIR UN JOUR ! AHA ! AHA ! AHA !di don-di don-di don-di don-di ! + 2 ou 3 trucs en plus de Chaos En France comme Collabos etc. Sylvain Bergaste ! Gueule d'enfer ! Zer ! ZER!!!!La musique préférée de Richard Wal*Martineau ! Reich Orgasm sur YouTube, zer Sylvain Bergaste |
 | Urge - why hide the lie, Germany 1991 I forgot to post this after the Power of Expression post : PoE is Urge with the Morgoth vocalist. This Urge album (including the live 12") is a mountain of dark and bone-crushing hardcore totally between early Rollins Band and Bl'ast! with their distinctive sound and a hard-on-inducing-Discharge-cover, so fuck yeah ZERRRR!!! Both Lp and CD are easily available on distros and ebay, get a copy. CD rip. Urge on MySpace |
 | Virulence - if this isn't a dream, USA 1989 Very good slow and heavy hardcore - aka a total Bl'ast! & early Melvins rip-off, which makes the record extremely enjoyable. Very zer, although I like Bl'ast! more, chronologically speaking. BTW this is Fu Manchu, they changed the band name after releasing this LP, which hopefully does not sound stoner rock at all. Vinyl rip. |
  | primitive origins, USA 1987 force fed, USA 1988 peel session, USA 1989 Their newer material is more radio-friendly, yet heavy and dark and very groovy ("power of the damager" is a fucking cool album with a Ministry touch). The 3 records listed here are their super excellent early thrash releases. "Force Fed" marks their shift towards more groove and complexity. NY metalcore ZER! Peel sessions & force fed: vinyl rip. Primtive origins: CD rip. Prong on Encyclopaedia Metallum  |
 | Neon Christ - parental suppression, USA 1984 Another classic 80s US HC 7"! Early DRI (non-metal, dirty rotten lp era) and Bad Brains (ROIR tape style) immediately come to mind as influences. Fast and raw yet catchy, complete ZER! Vinyl rip. tracks |
 | Kinghorse, USA 1991 Not far from Naked Truth, Leeway or the later Cro-Mags releases, Kinghorse deliver an above excellent and catchy crossover of metal and hardcore. Nothing too fast, lots of groove, great songs and all - despite the lack of enthusiasm of this lame description, this is one fantastic record, not the most original but extremely ZER!! CD rip. |
  | the truth of what will be, USA 1989 decameron, USA 1992 lament 7", USA 1994 exit paradise, USA 1994 More monster Bay Area thrash!! I was literally blown away when "the truth of what will be" came out, an insanely virulent thrash beast on the trails of early Exodus and the Accüsed. The following albums are also great thrash containers with an increase in complexity and arrangements, again not unlike Exodus. The 7" features an Ozzy and a DBC cover + 2 other songs (an unreleased and one from Exit Paradise if I'm not mistaken). Exploding ZER!!! CD rip, except Lament = vinyl rip Epidemic on Encylopaedia Metallum   |
