 That music was evil... death passed along my spine, and I got goosebumps, something that with music, in the future, I would never feel so intensely again.

 This album changed my life (I don’t know if for better or worse), but for obvious emotional ties, I can’t help but listen to it again, loaded with old memories.

The reviewer recalls their deep, emotional connection to Black Sabbath's compilation 'Between Heaven and Hell' during their youth. Despite initial unfamiliarity, the music profoundly impacted their identity and musical tastes. The album represents more than a greatest hits collection; it was a transformative experience that elevated the reviewer above their peers and fueled their passion for heavy metal. Revisiting the album today evokes cherished memories and gratitude. Listen to Black Sabbath's iconic compilation and relive the powerful journey of heavy metal nostalgia.

 The beauty of "American Paranoia" is the impossibility of cataloging it, a hybrid that bears the mark of years of extreme music, played with anger and adapted to a fiery Bay Area.

 The evening seemed like a sad New Year’s party and turned into a frenzy.

 Speed Connection, live recorded in 1985 in France, is the perfect opposite of what the Fleshtones are capable of delivering live.

The review contrasts The Fleshtones' energetic live presence with the underwhelming sound and pacing of their 1985 live album Speed Connection. Despite an engaging concert experience, the album feels too soft and slow, failing to capture the band's true live energy. The tracklist is strong, offering many of their hits, but overall the recording is a disappointment, especially compared to what fans might expect from a live show. Explore The Fleshtones' vibrant live spirit beyond Speed Connection and discover why their concerts outshine this album!

 They technically swept away all their peers in the scene despite their young age.

 Listening to this album is a real pleasure... the best way to savor this band is to listen to the album from start to finish.

Its influence remains appreciated mainly by genre enthusiasts and nostalgic fans. Explore Crumbsuckers' Life of Dreams and experience one of thrash-core's pioneering albums today!

 "Trust me, it’s a good album."

 "Their style, composing, and presentation were visibly taken from a Hardcore scene that grew primarily in the USA."

Spermbirds' 1986 album 'Something to Prove' offers a solid hardcore punk experience blending strong US influences with German origins. The music is energetic and technically sound, yet lacks originality due to many borrowed elements. The review criticizes the band's anti-American lyrics given their stylistic inspirations. Overall, it’s a pleasant listen but without enough spark to make it a cult classic. Listen to Spermbirds' classic punk album and explore a unique blend of US hardcore and German energy!

 Victim in Pain knew something about music dictated by instinct.

 That alchemy created by luck is what ruined the sound of Agnostic Front over time.

The review reflects on Agnostic Front's 1984 album Victim in Pain as a raw, instinct-driven hardcore punk record that captures a lost era. It praises the imperfection and energy that gave the band its foundational role in the New York punk scene. Despite advancements in sound and professionalism, the raw charge of this album is seen as unique and irreplaceable. The reviewer gives it a top rating based on personal bias but encourages listeners to judge themselves. Listen to Agnostic Front's Victim in Pain and experience the raw energy that shaped hardcore punk history!

 The cold and bloody touch of the instruments unconsciously transmits to us a war film.

 Listening to this record gives me that right dose of hatred to face a society steeped in filth.

Crucifix's 1980s album Dehumanization stands as a powerful hardcore punk record expressing the horrors of war and societal decay. The band's raw, noisy sound and passionate vocals bring an intense, almost hypnotic experience. Its influence and emotional depth place it alongside punk greats like Discharge.

 Listening to 'Is This My World?' there is so much commotion that you are left semi-dazed.

 The anger and crass 'rude' way of expressing themselves, uncompromisingly in the most direct way, are still the backbone of this formation’s way of making music.

Jerry's Kids' debut album 'Is This My World?' embodies the raw, chaotic spirit of early Boston hardcore. The album blends traditional hardcore with emerging metal influences, foreshadowing crossover trends.

 The album rocks everything, yet listening to it you are aware that something unusual has assaulted your eardrums.

Zero Boys' 'Vicious Circle' (1982) stands as a pivotal hardcore punk album known for its tight, fast-paced rhythms and melodic innovation. The band's blend of edgy guitars and Paul Mahern's distinctive vocals create an intense yet accessible sound. This album breaks typical hardcore monotony by skillfully varying tempos and maintaining catchiness. Despite its raw energy, the production quality is remarkably clear for its time. Overall, 'Vicious Circle' represents a unique and influential journey in American punk rock. Listen to Zero Boys' 'Vicious Circle' now and experience a groundbreaking hardcore punk journey.

 Venom came from the trash, became famous by mixing punk nonsense with formulas extracted from the little satanist’s manual.

 Records like this are what I miss nowadays.

The review praises Venom's album 'Possessed' as a strong return to their raw, heavy, and punk-infused roots. While not as iconic as 'Black Metal' or 'Welcome to Hell,' this album showcases improved musical execution and darker, more progressive elements. The reviewer recommends revisiting this underrated record for fans of Venom's classic style. Specific tracks like 'Satanachist' and 'Mystique' are highlighted as standouts. Dive into Venom's 'Possessed' and experience the raw energy of old-school metal today!
