THE REVIEW
After the first demo in March 1985, in September of the same year these Australians release this 12" (1000 copies + 500 reprints).
Hardcore mixed with metal sounds and a vocalist not always up to the mark. The rhythmic foundations of the 8 tracks on the CD are good, though the guitars are a bit too "muddled," yet still offer decent and unique mini-riffs for the proposed genre. Only a couple of songs exceed 2 minutes, among which is the extremely fast "Copper Chopper", in my opinion, the most complete.
Very similar to their compatriots Perdition, these Depression from Melbourne can also boast of having opened on a date of the "Australian Tour 1983" even for the Dead Kennedys!
ZOT!
