World Domination Or Death Vol. 1 LP/CD 1990 |

| Info: | Icelandic alternative rock was hip as fxxk in the late 80's and early 90's and it was probably only 70-80% Sugarcubes' fault. Not at all surprising to see a UK indie label whipping up a contemporary Icelandic rock comp then, but the featuring of some orthodox Thrash Metal was a very pleasant surprise. No following volumes were produced. | ||||

Tracklist side A:
Quirky, fem-fronted post-punk in the Sugarcubes vein.
US-style post-punk/proto-grunge.
Heavy alt rock cover of an Abba tune, where the Black Metal vocals of the chorus makes it quite a fun listen.- BOOTLEGS - Thrash Attack
Unapologetic Speed Metal Thrash a la Nuclear Assault or Deathrow. Same recording as on their self-titled debut.
Spazzy, energetic post-punk.
Tracklist side B:
Dinosaur Jr-style alt rock.
More alternating of those Black Metal vox that makes them sound very post-Metal/goth indeed. Still not as cool as fellow countrymen Dr. Gunni, but well on their way I'd say...
Spazzy/jazzy new wave.- BOOTLEGS - Street Lover
The title had me expecting some sort of poser-metal spoof, but it's instead pretty good, dark and brooding mid-pace Thrash Metal. Sounds like it's from the same session as the debut LP but savoured for projects like this....?
Psychobilly.
