Bomb Disneyland
Why Not!

LA RECENSIONE

If I were to host a "meteors" show on rock music, this band would be one of the first I would look for.

English band, active from 1988 to 1993, they were later forced to change their name to "Bomb Everything" by Disney's lawyers, oddly offended by the band's name choice, which initially even featured a distorted face of Mickey Mouse in their logo.

After a 1988 single, "Nail Mary/Evangelist," the following year they released this LP, which would be followed by two more under the new name Bomb Everything.

Let’s say right away that for every good old metalhead, this is a historic album. Yes indeed, at the time it wasn't very easy to find, but the fact that I couldn't find any trace of a review almost made me feel obliged to fill this gap. The album consists of 14 tracks, with a total duration that nearly reaches 30 minutes, of pure crossover punk/metal power.

The bombers’ sound is undeniably very British and reflects the influences of the major exponents of the aforementioned genres, among which are certainly Venom, Discharge, and GBH, the band where drummer Scott Preece would later play.

I won’t go into an analytical description of the individual tracks, as my aim was to refresh old thrashers' memory and suggest a listen to the slightly younger crowd. I'll just recall the legendary "Suicide 999," the second track of the album, which alone justifies owning the record, a song that made us spend thousands of hours headbanging.
