TERMINAL BOREDOM REVIEW

Torture Unit demo cassette
WEST BAY HARDCORE. Total early-Eighties throwback style here, but this is a fucking ripper, mates! Heavy and fast US-style blaze, a la early DRI at times, a little bit of metallic-crossover stylee and getting into some powerviolence moves too. Seven ugly two-gun hardcore blisterers about war and America and other classic themes, recorded raw and bloody. Members of Spazz, Funeral Shock, Plutocracy and other heavy West Coast hitters if you need to see some credentials. Singer reminds me of Sam Kinison when he really yells, which I think is great (and shouldn't be taken as a joke either, he just sounds really fucking pissed). Pro-tapes with foldout j-card/lyric sheet, limitd to 200. I found this to be a refreshing blast of steaming hate that was just what I needed after listening to and attempting to review a half dozen pieces of cling-clang art shit. BALLS.(RK)
