Confessor - Uncontrolled, 2012 CD Compilation Enhanced, DVD DVD-Video NTSC      Divebomb Records - DIVE023      1-3: demo 1990; 4-6, 10: demo 1989; 7-9, 11: demo 1988, 12-13: live Oh I will admit it quickly: the first time I heard Condemned, I vomited the meal I hadn't eaten yet. I was expecting loud and fast straight forward demolition grindcore or death metal (early 90's Earache! the Terrorizer | Entombed infection was at a record high), and I got loud and slow, clean-vocals, complex doom metal. But once it was acknowledged and digested that there was not going to be a single blast beat with cookie monster vocals on the album, its magnificent power could overwhelm. The other releases are as addictive for every second of every song is filled with greatness in the doom, the strange, the twisted and the sickness in symphony. Comparisons are futile when dealing with something that special, but if Solitude Aeturnus were killed in a mustard gas attack and then zombie-reanimated by concoctions of the flesh of Mind Over Four and the bones of Watchtower, we would almost be in Confessor territory. And it's even greater than that! Masterpiece engine! Fantastic wall to wall maximumizer! We need more than an album or two per decade, be reasonable! Megatriplazer cult of damned and slowly grilled in various positions! Let the Confessor fly high in its invincible machine again!

Nazareth was my favorite band before Saxon and Priest were even on my radar, 980 years ago. The old stuff is still as precious - rocking hard rock and hot blues and cheesy ballads - and the recent albums are great too (although obviously there is a two decade hole in this post - feel free to complete). Loud & Razamanaz are the favorite of the favorites, but anything pre-1979 is great. Actually, extend that to 1984. Many classics and always these special vocals! This is heavy on the nostalgia glands! Remove brackets and unzip: [rezemenezer] !ZER Nazareth ZER!

I still can't decide what is my favorite 1986 thrash metal album: Reign In Blood or Darkness Descends. Allow me another 30 years of manic headbanging to ponder. We Have Arrived had already been a deadly bomb that had rendered 1984 an even most crucial year after Haunting The Chapel, Apocalyptic Raids, In The Sign Of Evil, Sentence Of Death, Ride The Lightning, amen. But it was only a warm-up preamble to its incredible successor. More complexity made the last two albums less blatantly voracious, yet these are still dark giants in their own realms. Darkness Descends remains of course the epitome of darkangelry and probably of the whole thrash metal zeriverse, Absolute triplathrash attack! WE WILL GIVE YOU MERCILESS ZER!!!

Marvel of the eternal! Up the upper layer of the zerosphere that wraps the EZTT, one meets unmovable entities, among them Scat Opera. The late 80s/early 90s were loaded with what was tagged as funk metal, it was all hot and new and rich with these riffs. Scat Opera is the brightest light in this galaxy. The comparative advantage of Scat Opera lies in the very intense Victims Family sound they use to reinforce a Faith No More | Living Colour backbone of killer rocking groove. But there is a lot more than that and I would trade an organ for a third album. Please! Schnell! Meanwhile we must play another million times these essential recordings of zerrest zeritude. The first album is more radio friendly with this occasional thrash vibe, the second album is a vicious masterpiece of demonic instrumentations and energy. Perfection in the überzer!

Stormtroopers Of Death - Bigger Than The Devil, 1999 CD Album      Nuclear Blast America - NBA CD6383-2 Yes, this S.O.D. It was less apparent due to the confinement of the internet in 1985 to the pages of MRR, but the PC police was already extremely virulent, and S.O.D. was a hot target. Nevermind the aristo-punks, Speak English Or Die is as full of pubescent bad taste, monster riffs and killer songs as day one. The thing ages very well and grandma is moshing in all directions! The CD version contains an excellent cover of Inferno's Ram It Up. Then the other releases are OK, but of course that first album remains why they are such a dirty rotten classic super group (featuring shareholders of Anthrax and Nuclear Assault / Brutal Truth).
