venomous concept retroactive abortion cd

everyone's in love! where's elliott's love? i'm lovable you know! ah fuck it who needs love when you have music? this is well i don't know. two members of napalm death shane and danny started this band along with kevin sharp of brutal truth and buz of the melvins. i have to say when i first heard about this band i thought it would be a straightup hc band. nope. first of all it took me 20 minutes to get past the name. venomous concept. poison idea. get it? i want to slap whoever came up with that one. anyway what we have is basicly crust played very well. you can hear a lot of metal so i was originally disapointed. but overall it's a pretty good fast crust record. kevin still has no voice though. i liked him on the first brutal truth album but he really has no high voice. go back to death growls kevin. please. the drums are great. i've always like danny as a drummer in nd (mic was the best but let's not go into that) so it's no surprise that he puts in a solid performance on this album. the bass and guitar pound away. in a way i'm not surprised these guys are hc fans. okay i knew it all along. grindcore and sludge metal both came from punk and the melvins were a hc band at first i think. overall if you like fast as hell metallic hardcore (not the subgenre) get this record. will review the next album poisoned apple later. that one has danny lilker on it! yay! let's see how it is. elliott out
