Scheisse Minnelli / The Shining / Verbal Abuse Speed Kills, But Who’s Dying? split LP
Three bands, three labels, and fifteen tracks of fast “fuck you” music. It rules, folks. This slab originally came out in 2011 as a CD, and I can see why they brought it back for the vinyl treatment. O.G. HC athletes VERBAL ABUSE open the proceedings as a tough act to follow, with five blistering tunes that set the tone for the thrashing to come. In addition to having one of the funniest band names I have ever heard, SCHEISSE MINNELLI evokes just a bit of an early SUICIDAL TENDENCIES feel with their agile metal guitars and goofy humor. Finally, the SHINING caps it all off with some menacing crossover out of Amsterdam. It’s a bonafide ripper, recommended for fans of CONCRETE SOX, HERESY, and other fastcore champs.
