Recognize No Authority, 1986 History 1 (demo '85 + Catalepsy demo '88), 1985/1988 (2008 CD reissue) Decline, 2010 Thrash metal über classic! This stuff has the rage of Raw Power with the metal toolbox of early Megadeth | Exodus. They were one of the few speed metal bands with a woman singing, at this time it was pretty much Acid, Holy Moses, Znöwhite and Détente (yeah, Nuclear Death and Witches too, but they came out later and Warlock or Bitch where just not fast/heavy enough :-) - rare but KILLER! The new album Decline, just out 24 years after the first one, is another attack of ferocious, intense and plain excellent thrashing metal featuring a new and young but very, very angry lady on vocals. Nothing groundbreaking but everything skull-smashing! Do not miss the demo CD, the Catalepsy demo is just AWESOME! CD rip. I didn't really enjoy Fear Of God (post-Détente, not the Swiss thing) and do not have the CDs anymore, sorry. Buy Détente CDs!!! Détente website Détente on MySpace
