Metamania '89 MC 1989 |
|||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Label: | Polmark | #: | PK-159 | Country: | Poland |
| Info: | A companion release to the "Metalmania '89" compilation LP of sort, seeing as it was recorded at the same festival and features a similar line-up, albeit with a different selection of songs, so yes, this is an entirely different album than the LP, bar 1 track.. | ||||

Tracklist side A:
- TURBO - Ocean Łez
From their tech-thrash "Epidemie" 5th studio album, this isn't nearly as exciting as their olde Heavy/Power/Speed material but ample, late Death Angel/Deathrow style thrashings still... - ASTAROTH - I Wonder Why
Ultra-speed-thrash-goes-tech that's pretty cool for the sheer energy, but a bit too chaotic in the wrong sort of way. Still an entirely unique track from this band only ever featured on this MC. - GOMOR - I'm Believer In Your Eyes
Poland's answer to Vulcain or Shell Shock? I.e. Motörhead-worship Metal that's hard not to like, despite zero originality. The only track on this cassette that is also featured on the LP with the same name. - ALASTOR - Syndromy Miast
More rough'n'fast Atheist/Terrahsphere-style "stress-Thrash" madness. An acquired taste for sure..
Tracklist side B:
- GOMOR - Right Now
Another Motörhead-fandom moment but with more early Euro-Speed Metal flavours this time. Belgium KILLER comes to mind.. - ARAKAIN - Idź I Zabijaj
The shock & scoop of this release if of corpse the surprising inclusion of an exclusive live track by our fave Czech Speed Metallers ARAKAIN! Behind the Polish title hides the "Thrash The Trash"-number "Ne!" in a superb and more energetic take. Best song on comp! - OPEN FIRE - Nikt Nie Żyje Wiecznie
You'd think this would be a number from the previously unreleased "Lwy Ognia" '88 kült album, but no - this is an entirely exclusive Hit of prime, clever Heavy/Powersteel, waaaaay superior to the other rare (but arguably mediocre) track that ended up on the Metalmania 89 LP. - TURBO - Anty R.J. Ewa
Another "Epidemie" track and once again decent, technical Thrash-light. A bit more mid-pace and adventurous and surely one of the better tracks from this album. Unlike the 2 live cuts on the Metalmania 89 LP, these 2 featured TURBO recordings are NOT featured in the gigantic 13-CD "Anthology 1980-2008" box set, but 100% exclusive to this tape.
