Yes, you're absolutely right.
Two great records, perhaps the best ones on this "Label".
Kalaschnikov - S/t album is hilarious and great, but anyone else wondering why the cover art is a random compilation of gore pics? Looks like they've just googled them before Google existed, just slammed em together and called it a day.
"The torture never stops" still is banned here in Germany.
See the flash of lightning cutting the edge of steel!

Maybe because there's a picture of Ilse Koch on the cover art, but that means trading it is illegal too? Were those Kalaschnikov albums then sold elsewhere or destroyed?
If a cover is on the index it just means the label cannot sell that record any further but there are enough copies circulating. You can easily obtain a copy of this album from ebay.de. The B-side is great Thrash.

Yeah I've seen it many times being sold for low prices. Currently only that fake sequel seems to be on the market. But the whole album is such an oddity and the "Kill Your Neighbor" song has been stuck on my head for a few years now. "Hell's Running Wild" is great and the thrashiest number on the album and none of the songs is actually bad, but some of them are not developed enough like the one called "Chosen One".

I've heard this but never confirmed it.
It is not allowed to wear signs of that time like SS runes, svatiska or doing the "Hitler-salute".
Apart from that you can sing/talk about WWII topics as long as it is not glorifying or warping historical events.

the cover & some lyrics like kill your neighbor gave it the ban stamp

If I wouldn't have been informed by the Corroseum of its genre I would've thought it's a grindcore or death metal album.
Reminded me more of a Whitehouse-style extreme power electronics album than anything deathly or grindly.

I`ve finally listened to Holy Moses` "Queen of Siam" and I must say this album definitely belongs here. It`s not bad in its entirety, there is quite a few riffs I do enjoy, but the overall (bad kind of) sloppiness just puts me off.
Most thrash albums released these days by the so called new wave are so uninspired an tedious it is beyond belief. The bands that want to replicate old school thrash metal usually fail miserably. They lack the ability to create any kind of proper attitude or memorable riffs. The result is happy and melodic and there is nothing worse than (unintentionally) happy thrash! The only notable exceptions are bands who try to mix it a bit, do something a bit different, like Vektor, Urto, Immaculate, Besieged, Nekromatheon, Dew- Scented.

"Modern" thrash is like a pastiche of the real deal. It brings nothing new to the table and can't even handle the old ways of the genre. It's like a close relative turned into a mindless zombie without a soul.

Wow, I have a hard time believing this one. Love this album, it's not as good as Finished With the Dogs but "Necropolis" is one of the best songs they ever recorded!
