Cryptic Slaughter - Speak Your Peace, 1990 CD Album      Metal Blade Records - CDZORRO 6 Monster thrashcore jubilation! After Neos, DRI, Siege and Lärm, we needed more head bashing and thrashing speed mania, and we got it! Heresy, Repulsion, Wehrmacht and Cryptic Slaughter! The zeriverse is generous. That first week with both LPs, I played Convicted many more times than Reign In Blood, because only speed mattered in 1986. Convicted was even faster than Kreator and Sodom, and almost more intense than Raw Power and Inferno. Here are the seeds of grindcore, amen. Absolute relishment of the primitive! The next album is almost as great but less sloppy, Stream is strange and excellently noisy and Speak is a very different beast of crossover in the general direction of Excel and Attitude. None more classic! Break that skeleton that doesn't break! Thrash til zer! Remove brackets and unzip: [into the crypts of triplazer] !ZER Cryptic Slaughter ZER!
