General Surgery

Necrology, 1991 Split LP with the County Medical Examiners, 2003 Left Hand Pathology, 2006 Split CD with Butcher ABC, 2009 Corpus In Extremis: Analysing Necrocriticism, 2009 You feel like listening to Carcass, but today you already got enough Carcass for the next month. What can you do? Yo, just use one of the many Carcass clones, and the best at that are General Surgery. However the Necrology mini hasn't been too thrilling - who needed another Carcass, even in '91, especially one who couldn't match Symphonies Of Sickness (NB: this is the useless part of blog-writing where the meat between the seat and the keyboard issues personal statements as universal expertise). Then General Surgery went dormant for over 10 years, and everyone went back to real Carcass (and Exhumed). Then Carcass died of obesity and General Surgery woke up with the AWESOME split with the County Medical Examiners (another excellent Carcass clone). The following releases deliver an equally amazing early Carcass rendering, except Left Hand Pathology which is a truly AMAZOME album! This masterpiece really floored me: mega effective in your face crusty grinding death Carcass thrashing gore metal!!! Brutal, crunchy, heavy as a thousands corpses, memorable, groovable, headbangable, a grinding aural fuckfest, this is sonic porn!!! General Surgery for president!!!

Possessed

Seven Churches, 1985 Beyond The Gates + The Eyes Of Horror, 1986/1987 The demos, 1984/1991/1993 I was listening again to Thanatos' Beyond Terror and of course the urge to go to Possessed became big and fat. So here are the founding fathers of death metal, although to me the first Onslaught album (which also has a song called 'death metal') was as good a contender for the title. My first contact with Possessed was when I was literally floored by Swing Of The Axe on Metal Massacre IV, then I saw them live in '85 opening for Slayer and it still is a vivid and bleeding memory... Maximum earslaughter! What a golden era. 'Seven Churches' has been my best birthday present of the 80s, merci maman! Used to own a couple of bootlegs (Chevalier De La Mort LP and Agony In Paradise CD) but these things sound like shit, total time wasters. Don't bit more than $5 on these two. Ah for those who still don't know, Larry Lalonde of Primus played guitar in Possessed (on all the records). Yes, he did spit blood, wear 12 inches spikes and inverted crosses, zer!

Thanatos

Emerging from the Netherworlds, 1990 Realm of Ecstacy, 1992 Angelic Encounters, 2000 Beyond Terror (MCD w/Possessed & Celtic Frost covers), 2002 Undead. Unholy. Undivine., 2004 Justified Genocide, 2009 Despite their propaganda, Holland's cheese is far from matching France's, but their metal had been stronger for the first 20 or 30 years. The main culprit is Thanatos which formed in 84 and are probably Holland's longest running thrash/death metal thing. Like the almighty Protector and A.R.G., and as a faster reply to Possessed, Autopsy, Massacre and some Dark Angel (and not only for The Burning Of Sodom on Justified Genocide!!!), they do not reinvent any wheel but they use a spiked, heavy and lethal set of armored ones to expertly run the listener over.

Sleep

Sleep - Back To Square One Again, 1989/1991 No, not the legendary US stoner/doom Sleep, but the rather obscure British melodic HC/punk Sleep. Very refreshing before and after hours of death metal! This is some sort of discography (vinyl releases complete with extra bonus, rare demo and live tracks) full of energetic and musically potent catchy tunes for the fans of Can't Decide | Scream | Snuff | HDQ | Sink, oh yeah. Now, beer. CD rip. Buy this classic from the world's fastest mailorder!

Onslaught - Sounds Of Violence

Sounds Of Violence, 2011 YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! Great follow-up to the excellent 2007 reunion album Killing Peace, this new piece of modernized, groovy thrash metal by 80s experts will bang your head that doesn't bang! If you liked Killing Peace and the recent Exodus output, this one will have you air-guitar for 47 minutes. Includes a Bomber cover featuring Tom Angelripper and Phil Campbell, plus a cheesy imperial album intro and outro (please bands, stop doing this, it stopped being funny in 1985). THRASH TIL ZEEEeeEeERrRRrrRR r R r R !!! R RR R R R R R !!!!!!! CD rip. Buy this album and all the other Onslaught cult releases All Onslaught

The hottest heavy metal band on earth, Raven!!!! Since the day in 1983 my neuron made contact with the utramegacultosaurus Grandiose Masterpiece superpowered world class infinite force-unmovable king of all-things-hard-rock album All For One, I hadn't had the occasion to attend a Raven live experiment until yesterday night, ZERRRRRRRRrRRRrrrrrRRRRr!R!R!RrrR!R!R R !R !R RRR!R R!! !R!R R !R!R !R!R ! R r ! ! !RR! r!r ! ! ! ! ! Best show of the past years since Vulcain and (the true/Beehler) Exciter!!!!! It's incredible how much energy and power Raven still radiate in your general direction after a career of 37 years of such intense hard rock. And they are SO FUCKING GOOOOOOOD!!! Top class professionals with a constant smile! John Gallagher is the most powerful voice in the metal world, forget Rob Halford and Bruce Dickinson! Of course they did play most of their classics from the first three records, and also some of the last albums, a couple from Nothing Exceeds, Life and Architect, but also surprisingly a great version of their attempt at a radio hit On And On. Regarding their discography, of course the first 4 LPs are just unbelievable classics full of the customized and augmented mix of Motörhead | Judas priest | Anvil that they've been brewing since 1974. No real rock fan can live without these albums or he will be laughed at until the 7th generation. Live At The Inferno is one of the very best metal live record ever released on par with Unleashed In The East and No Sleep Til Hammersmith. Then in 85 and 86, they tried to sell their butts to Atlantic and released the two horrible TV-radio-targeted Stay Hard and The Pack Is Back (I did not even dare to rip my LPs, just took the above rips from a torrent). After that failure of becoming millionaires like Lars Ulrich, they returned for a string of totally rocking albums up to 2009 and the red hot Walk Through Fire and lived happily ever after doing real hard rock for the smaller crowds of truer fans.
