Let's pump some fresh meat and complete the flacollection with new releases from these previously posted bands. All these things are great, no disappointment, only excitement. Yes, Psycho are back with one straight forward fast & raw thrashcore charge that excels at exhuming their 90s output. Zer! The Misery mini LP offers a Sacrilege cover (inferior to the original) and a continuation in the Amebix direction taken by the previous double LP. Violator deliver the Nuclear Assault / Tankard they are known for, nothing new here but still great. Sheja returns with a triplazer cover album (Thin Lizzy, Accept, Judas Priest...). Ringworm pursue their relentless thrash attack with a mini album that contains a Discharge cover and an album without a Discharge cover. Bestial stuff that manages to keep your neuron on its toes without any spark of originality. It takes talent to make great generic thrash. The same may be said about Ratos De Porao, but since RDP more or less invented this crossover thrash thing, you can't blame them for going on and perfecting it. RDP are in top shape, all teeth, hammers and rage in full swing, Seculo Sinistro is a deadly bulldozer of venomous hardcore and thrash metal! FUCK YEAH! Autopsy also return with a major demonstration in sleazy death metal monstrosity, this is their best album since the Macabre Eternal return. Awesome deluge of massive death elephants!! The Ghoul mini LP is maybe not as exciting as the previous one but still a highly enjoyable burst of surf thrash, while the latest Conquest For Death is full of things greater than their previous things. CFD's punk thrash is still quick and a little sharper than before, bravo. What am I forgetting? Ah yes the newest Mekong Delta. This is another pearl to add to their zero default discography. The high definition metal of Mekong Delta is a its best and one could legitimately wonder why listen to flaccid 21st century (or even 90s...) Iron Maiden when MD can fulfill the need for such things ten times over. I'm not mentioning Metallica because it is irrelevant, we are talking about real metal here. This new album is even better than the two previous ones, Mekong Delta dominate, period. And last but not least, the beast everybody was expecting, the Bl'ast! re-release! At first I had decided I did not care about it as I already own 3 versions of the Power of Expression (LP, CD, tribute), and I can resist my consuming impulses. But when you're an addict, you're an addict, and when I stumbled on this triple LP re-release at my favorite local store, I could not let it in the rack. So what about it? It's mildly disappointing. It contains 3 different recordings of the Power of Expression. LP 1 is a remaster of the album you already know, nothing particularly exciting (yes the album is a fucking classic, but do I need a 4th version?). LP 2 and 3 are previous sessions with the same songs (or less) and they sound terrible (production wise) compared to the official version. There is one unreleased song on LP 2, that's very cool. The artwork and packaging are nice too, but not as classy as the magnificent Blood release. So, in the end pretentious assholes like me need to collect this Bl'ast! stuff and Southern Lord know how to target us, but well, you could live without it if you own the originals. I swear, if Take The Manic Ride resurfaces with a new mix, I won't buy it until the day I buy it. Now, a live album would be seriously cool! Let's hope the reunion will bring us such a thing. BL'AST!
BUY ALL THESE DISCS!
