Negazione








100% 1990
little dreamer 1988
lo spirito continua 1986
wild bunch - the early days 1984/1985
What else can be added about this legend of 80s hardcore ? One of the most briliant bands ever - all continents, styles and haircuts considered. Sharp, tight, aggressive-bordering-on-hysterical, fast, melodic, original, very distinct, amazing musicians, totally KILLER live performances... Fucking ZZEERRR!!!!
Wild Bunch collects the 7" and split LP with DECLINO: ultra fast and hysterical hc that dwarfs early DRI!
lo spirito is IMHO the ultimate HC album: maturity and controlled rage through a set of outstanding songs with absolutely no filler.
little dreamer offers a bit more of crossover and is as good as lo spirito, despite the stupid anti-metal reviews of the time - a fantastic album with a very funny ballad at the end.
100% was produced by the guy who produced all the first Rollins Band records and leaves us with more rock in the trademark Negazione sound - fucking great album too, more tamed and wider influences. It was very disappointing to see them stop and not get more releases of comparable awesomeness and no live album. I'm partial, this is a personnal legend of mine as much as Discharge, Verbal Abuse, Heresy, Venom, Exodus or anything of that caliber.
I'm too lazy to exhume and rip "behind the door", get it elsewhere, or wait.
Again, apologies from me about the ugly mess in Grenoble in 1988 (I booked them with Phobia and my own band, then Negazione's van got vandalized and stuff stolen by the worthless morons from a nearby suburb).
CD rip.
