Fear Itself Till Death Do Us Part LP

Brutal ravenous thrash with a metallic influence (mostly in the structures and leads) and lyrics concerning personal, political and horrific topics. The only setback is the noisy production which squelches the power a bit, but this still blazes.

Maggot Sandwich Get Off the Stage LP

This surprisingly catchy twelve song record is a mixture of pop-punk and hyper-thrash, using mid- to fast-tempo songs with simple structures and memorable riffs. The vocals are straightforward and at times cuts through with some great lyrics. Good stuff be here.

V/A Hurricane Party cassette

A furious-paced comp from bands all over the US, most of which are pretty good sounding. Some groups are STEVIE STILETTO & SWITCHBLADES, REALITY OF TRAIL, MAGGOT SANDWICH, SHELL SHOCK, GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS, LEGION OF DECENCY, PSYCHODRAMA, and several more. Lots of music, lots of energy.

Workin Muthas Acid Rain 12″

The Florida-based KML label has come out with yet another great punk rock record. Eight short, fast, energetic, catchy tunes from this Mississippi band, all delivered with tough crunchy guitars and super gravelly vocals.
