youth korpse 1982 demo

here's a sadly underrated recording. youth korpse existed for about a year from 1981 to 82. they recorded this 13 song demo then went away. no idea where they were from or what the members went on to do (other than breathe) but I do know that this demo is fucking great. ultrafast, powerful, thrashing hardcore. it almost sounds like the blueprint for the subgenre known as powerviolence that came into being in the later part of the decade. I wonder how many bands heard this demo. reminds me of siege and deep wound but 2 years before them. this is just great thrash. one slower song on here but that's a good one too. i'm amazed at the production. for a demo this is really really clear. 32 years after it was released this still shreads and could destroy most new bands. it's on the internet so go download it. I know it was release as an ep in the 90s but no idea about recent reissues. this has been called the quick and the dead demo as well as the 1982 demo. no idea what it's actually called so i'll just call it fucking fantastic. get this or get away

discharge grave new world lp

I give the crust and dis bands a lot of shit but I do like the originater. discharge's music was great English hc. the pounding drums, the rumbling bass, the simple guitar, the barked vocals..great stuff. after the hear nothing lp came out the band changed stile a bit, going for more of a metal vibe. honestly everything up to the more I see isn't bad. it's not always discharge but it's good. if they'd stopped after that i'd be happy. but they did not..in 1986 the band released this....thing. the band themselves had adopted a glam look. poofy hair, earrings, all that shit. the music is slow, kind of guns n roses before guns n roses..just better. yes, as shitty as this is it's better than gnr. if i'm going to be objected I can kind of hear a very few nods to the older band's stile. mostly in the drums. the musicians are talented. kal however is not. he's not a good singer, he's a good yeller. so when he tried to hit high notes...words can't describe how bad his voice is. he doesn't sound sexy or demonic, he sounds like his voice is breaking. he sounds like a bad police siren. I have a live recording of them from the same year and he sounds as bad on that. the music honestly might have been saved if kal had fucked off. it wouldn't have been discharge but hey. the tour that followed was a disaster. the crowd hated them. both in England and the states. the band broke up after this abortion but kal didn't learn his lesson. he reformed the band and recorded a couple more albums. he tried going more ac/dc in the voice...it didn't work. people have called his later albums thrash..no..they're just bad metal. the band later reformed and went back to being punk. I love playing this for all the dis bands. here's what your heros became. it makes me laugh.but honestly this shit sucks. don't buy this, listen to it once on line then buy something you can live with easier..a tapeworm perhaps. anyway fuck this record and fuck all the discharge clones.
