Tumult

The Heroic Bloodshed 7", 1997 Split 7" w/Gomorrha, 1998 fucking awesome 12" LP!, 2000 Today's magic phrase is: shit, I love it when a maniac German hardcore band sounds like a mix of Siege and Hellnation at the speed of Heresy bordering on war field black metal.

Discarga

Happy Night Electric Experience (+ 1st 7" + comp tracks), 2000/2001 Sem Remorso, 2003 split LP w/I shot Cyrus, 2005 Musica Pra Guerra (+ split w/H-Zero), 2009 Featuring the current bass player from Ratos De Porao, Discarga is easily in my top 5, no, top 3 of the hardcore bands to have surfaced during the past decade (hardcore as in hardcore, not vegan metal). Discarga sound like the hyperactive bastard heir of Indigesti and Heresy, they deploy in your general direction some FAST and tight and memorable thrashing assault with the longest song clocking in at 1:44. There are also some brilliant slower and punker songs for the sake of breathing but it's soon back into the supersonic chamber. 80 totally awesome tracks of accelerated 80s madness from the 21st century!

Dead Head

The Feast Begins At Dawn, 1991 Dream Deceiver, 1993 Kill Division (+ 9 live tracks), 1999 Haatland, 2005 Depression Tank, 2009 Dead Head are in the business of pulverizing all your bones from the head down, absolute zer! Here is some of the most ripping thrash metal ever released! I can only think of Slayer, Kreator, Sadus and Morgoth locked up for a week in a room with the fiercest of Raw Power blasted at 11. On top of that the 9 bonus live tracks on Kill Division show how incredible this band really is. Favorites: the last three albums for the renewed non-stop savagery that exceeds that of many grindcore releases. The Feast is also an excellent debut, fast and raw with a hammer-touch of the amazing Entrance album by A.R.G., while Dream Deceiver is more complex, darker and with many heavy slow sections.

Silverfish

Cockeye (Silverfish 12" ep + Total Fucking Asshole 12" ep), 1989 Fat Axl, 1990 Fuckin' Drivin' Or What ep, 1991 Organ Fan, 1992 Nerve-eating noise rock! There is a lot of fuzz and heaviness and groove and energy and and a great singer that probably had an influence on Karyn from Crisis and she sings in French about her mother and sister on "Déchaînée" (Organ Fan), which is very sexy. You could obviously mention the less friendly era of Sonic Youth as an influence: Silverfish is like having your eardrums processed with fresh sandpaper by NoMeansNo and the Melvins on a foggy day in Detroit. Fuckin' great or what! My favorite is the very abrasive Fat Axl MONSTER DISTORTIONNIZERRRRRR!R!RR! !RR! R!R !R!R !R!R R! R !R ! CD rip. Silverfish on MySpace

DBC

Dead Brain Cells, 1987 Universe + Dead Brain Cells, 1989 Unreleased, 1991/2002 Montreal's best answer to Slayer! Amazing 80s speed & thrash metal! Unreleased is a great mix of the style of the two earlier albums, maybe not as intense or inspired. The second release has a more technical / Voïvod edge, while Dead Brain Cells is the prototype of classic skull bashing thrash metal. Two totally killer classic records!!!! People of the 80s awake and bang your head until you're all brain dead! CD rip. RIP Gerry Ouellette (guitars). PS: links fixed... DBC website - get all 3 CDs and more merch DBC on MySpace

Speaking of the 80s, we just spent a week-end in 1985. Thanks to the iron longevity of the heavy metal scene, we just had the infinite privilege to attend a Vulcain show!!! ROCK'N'ROLL SECOURS!!!! 30 ans plus tard, Vulcain sont toujours les plus forts! Ne pas aller voir un concert de Vulcain est une faiblesse impardonnable. Grand moment de nostalgie pour les plus arthritiques d'entre nous (la dernière fois que je les ai vus, c'était en 86 près de Dijon et c'est pendant le voyage en voiture que Roger est né!)! Meilleur show hard rock depuis Exciter (Beehler) l'an dernier! TOP MEGA ZERRRRRRRR!R!R!R!R!R !R!R! R! R! R! !R! R! R! !R !R !! ! VULCAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rock'n'roll secours!

Arrête de penser à l'amûr!

And yesterday we got to watch... CELTIC FROST!!! Yo, Triptykon actually, but close your eyes and just submit to Procreation Of The Wicked and Dethroned Emperor and it's all 1985 again - not to undermine Triptykon's own material which is as excruciatingly doom and deadly as anything else on this planet and the bass player is more fun to watch than Martin Ain (somebody pass me a frog) - actually this was the best and most intense DOOM show I've seen in years. Pure gravity and death!!! The speed of darkness!!!

PROCREATION

OF THE WICKED!

And a special batch of thanks to the crowd at both shows. You could have taken a series of photos to print in the October '85 issue of Metal Hammer along the Anthrax/Overkill/Agent Steel tour report.

Forest Of Impaled

Mortis Dei, 1995 Demonvoid, 1999 Forward The Spears, 2003 Rise And Conquer, 2007 Impaled heads, satanic orgies and black plague on the war field! Let's go for an intense black death metal ride. Mortis Dei is a short, bombastic, memorable and neck breaking black metal offering like a Dark Funeral demo. Lots of class in the darkness, zer. On Demonvoid the death metal grows a bit, good album, yet things get really terrific on the last two albums that are as deadly as a mix of early Dark Funeral and Immolation at full speed with the spirit of Slayer, fuck yeah! Fantastic no-bullshit songs full of merciless blasts and skull krushing riffs, amazing execution, killer production, these two gems rarely leave the top 10 of black death monstrosities I like to submit myself to. Death is certain, life is not! 666 TONS OF DEADLY ZERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!R!R!R !R!R!R!RRR R!RR! !R!RR!RRRRRRRRRRRRRRR !R!R!RR!R RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR !R! !RR! !R!RRRRRRRRRR !R! !R !RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR !RR! !RR!R! !R! !RR!

F.T.L.E. 7", 1999 No Attribute Attack / Flag Of Defiance split 7" w/Minus, 2000 ハイラソク 7", 2001 理想郷 LP, 2003 More Deride, yet not a real reload since this time the LP mp3 separation is now correct (I hope! last year the frontier between songs 1 and 2 was wrong, and another song was not separated at all) and a bit louder. On top of this here are the raging 7" full of that classic Japanese hardcore sound - as strong as any Gauze | Systematic Death, AWESOME!!! Still the totally killlllerrrrrrrR R!

Artillery

Fear Of Tomorrow (+ 7 bonus 82/84), 1985 Terror Squad (+ 8 bonus), 1987 By Inheritance (+ 6 bonus), 1990 Deadly Relics (4 demos, but not the first one from 1982), 1998 B.A.C.K. (+ 2 bonus), 1999 When Death Comes, 2009 One Foot In The Grave, The Other One In The Trash (Euro version w/2 bonus), 2009 SPEED THRASH METAL HEAVEN!!!! It doesn't get really any better than Artillery when you need your metal to be simultaneously fast, technical, heavy, melodic, catchy, crunchy and super powered! Think of the (very very) best of Megadeth (but with real, powerful vocals) and Forbidden and add some truly unique and unforgettable choruses and you're not there yet. Artillery sit with the best of the 80s - yet their two come backs in 1999 and 2009 are also absolutely AMAZING! One often fears the return of an old band, but these guys now just rip twice more than 20 years ago. Bring out the air guitars!!!
