Maelstrom - Megamorphosis,
1990 Vinyl 7" Taang! Records - T-39 02. Maelstrom - Step One, 1990 Vinyl LP Taang! Records - T-42 03. Maelstrom - Step One, 1990 CD Emergo - EM 9407 2 Extra dimensional nostalgia wave! We were young and mobile, Lady Zer and I went to see the incredible Maelstrom with the incredible Scat Opera live in Paris, and then with the incredible NoMeansNo in Germany in 1991. Maelstrom delivered both times perfectly killer performances, at the level of their marvelous and criminally underrated records. I guess they came just a minute too late on the HC/metal-crossover scene with that funky/hip hop thing - Suicidal Tendencies meets Red Hot Chili Peppers, but a lot heavier, Cro-Mags style. Dinosaurs will be interested in the 7": it features the most awesome Void cover (Who are you?) - beware of goose bumps. Step One is an achievement that should have pulverized Metallica out of the charts, but no, the dirty-underwear album with the black cover won the jackpot (the one that came out after the "and sleeping pills for all" album). On top of that, Maelstrom did not release anything else (to my knowledge) and it fucking sucks because Metallica continue to annoy us to this day. I would have taken at least 4 more Maelstrom albums. The universe is cruel. Anyway, let's enjoy the existing massive grooves and first class, heavy riffing of Maelstrom, and smile until the end of the day. Remove brackets and unzip: [megazerphosis] !ZER Maelstrom ZER! I just found the Helmut Schoeck book Envy as pdf. Try it if you are too cheap to buy the paper version and are serious about your "political opinions". This is the most interesting reading session I've had in years. |

Found this on youtube. A live recording of a track called "Inner City". It's a crime Maelstrom didn't release other songs like this.
