1st of 2 comps promoting (quite dated, thank doG) garage unknowns from Rio de Janeiro. Compiled by a local Metal radioshow. Includes insert with lyrics and band pics.
S.T.I. - Follow That Skull Megadeth-fandom. The riffing ain't half-bad, but their drummer is no Neil Peart, that's for sure.
BLASTED - Oh Preacher Ha ha ha.. that vocalist sure sounds silly, but other than his weird/amusing falsetto screetches this is pretty damn good, fast & technical powerthrash in the style of Toxic or Vendetta.
S.D.P.P. - The Imprisonment Of The... Stereotyped Objectivity Digital drums, some punky bits, some metallic ones. Late 80's US College Pop-Core meets mid-pace thrash? Surprisingly enjoyable - even great at moments.
SPITED - Mass Destruction More digi-drums. A hilarious, horrid mess that swings from failed attempts at "groove" to more darker (emo?) Metal moments. One for the *lol* mixtape.
CAVALAST - Obscured By Fear Brutal (not productionwise tho') Thrash with Protector/Morbid Saint-like screaming vox. Could have been good ...but it isn't.
Side B:
BLOCKHEAD - Follow Or Die Groove-"metal" with pieces of more traditional stuffs thrown in, but HM is an unforgiving mistress I'm afraid..
STAGEDIVE - Living Without Life Bleak & uninspiring mosh-thrash.
SCARS SOULS - Making Contact Funky (hard?) rock with fem vox.
WIZARD - The Other Side Finally some good ol' Traditional Heavy Metal. Melodic Maiden-parts with neat mood-swings.
