LA RECENSIONE

I think it is only fair, every now and then, to give space and remember albums and bands that, just for not finding the right contract, often get overlooked or forgotten. When I saw the album on the store shelves, I bought it immediately because I knew it was very hard to find. Yes, thinking about it more, I bought it hoping that one day it would gain value so I could sell it and pocket a bit of cash!
After listening to it, I immediately changed my intentions.

The album is from 1987 and consists of five tracks including the intro. The genre is typically thrash, featuring a very raw and dark sound, with vitriolic vocals. Although, on the surface, it doesn't present anything innovative, the atmosphere and the sound that comes out of it are unique and immediately captivating and striking.
The voice, in some tracks, seems to use effects that make it quite unusual for the time even though, as mentioned, it’s the usual thrash "warbles" that have been with us for decades now...

Even though it's not easy to find, in my opinion, it definitely deserves to be bought and to have a privileged place in any respected thrash collection.
