Couldn't find a previous thread about this band and, as I am listening to the CD I thought I'd start one.

From what I'm hearing, it's really nicely structured, good and heavy. The vocals are nice and evil-thrashy (reminds me of someone but I can't quite think who...) and their music is good and fast. That's right, Tom, they're heavy...AND fast. :wink:

However, Rabid's intro is a bit too of a rip I think and Misanthropic seems to have a riff achingly close to SOD.

Still, a nice addition to my thrash collection. Solid to good but not outstanding. Happy times.

Hold on... what was that at the start of Pro Patria?

Actually at the start of 7*U*S*C. Was that necessary????

Were you in the band when they played the Fulham Greyhound in '88? That was support for Deathrow (ger) if my memory isn't on the blink (quite often, these days!)

Anyhow, enjoyed the set back then. :)

It was support for Sodom and Toranaga ;-)

My brother was bass player in Deathwish, they had a better deal than us,therefore better production on their 2 albums.
Shame as the HV songs were really good. Rather Death...recorded pretty much live-ish within a few days.

Ah, right. I have a few photos of me slamming like a maniac that night then.

Spot the man mountain with the white Lawnmower Deth t-shirt on, ha ha.

I shall have to dig them out at some stage.
