napalm death and more live review

well last night i went to the observatory in orenge county to....observe some bands. let's start with the first band. downspell. they were from alaska. did i mention they were from alaska? oh and they were from alaska. they only said it about a thousand times. the music was pretty good deathcore. metal archives calls it metalcore/death metal.....deathcore. pretty good considdering the genre of music they play. then after the unknown downspell came the classic thrash band attitude adjustment. they seemed to have lost some of the punk from the sound and play much tighter and a little slower. barny from napalm death came up to sing a song. it was pretty cool. and they actually played songs off the demo and destruction's end flexi! yay!! next came exhumed.....lame! i've never heard exhumed before except when they covered a samhain track. the high vocalist sounds like an emo kid now. and he acts like one on stage with the croud. he actually got the crowd to say swares. how lame can you get? he was just another lame ass performer. how you all doin tonight? i can't hear you! shut up for a second and maybe you'll get to hear us idiot. the chainsaw durring a song was nice though. so was closing with a seige cover. next came repulsion. barny sang with them too. repulsion was great! everything was amazing about the set. and the singer could actually still do it! i guess the only problem i had was they didn't play every song off all 6 demos haha. next came napalm death. i thought they were gonna be the last band honestly. so did the croud i guess. now i know nd has no original members and is a tad more metallic than 87 but it was a great show! barny's voice is way more gritty and i love it that way. mich's voice was cool with some nice echo effects and his clean vocals were haunting. i've always thought of nd as a punk band with metal trappings and i beleive it even more today. also greenway's rants between songs were awesome. ps danny's drums were so crazy i couldn't follow it. after that came municipal waste. i was actually ready to leave at that point when a few old friends came up and we talked some. mw is an okay band. it doesn't take any ammount of brain power to get them and the lyrics. seriously how many songs about getting drunk can you have? it got annoying. plus repulsion, napalm death, and not least attitude adjustment should be way after them especially attitude adjustment. hell they created the sound mw rips off and sees no reason to alter. it's fun party music but really that's all. no meaningful lyrics. i'd like it more if they were at least before napalm death. seriously it felt like the long beach grand prix where they run the indycar race then they have a sports car race after so if you want to wait out the crowd you have something to watch. half the people left after napalm so that's what it felt like. that municipal waste was the throwaway band after the legends....which they are! like i said i like mw. they're fun. but after napalm death? that's like when mr. manson went on after slayer. what the fuck? btw nd did a cool repulsion cover as well as some other short songs (they closed with you suffer) and municipal waste did what every crossover thrash band does and covered s.o.d's united forces. as much as i love s.o.d seriously everyone's done it. maybe that's why people don't like this retrothrash thing that's been going on for some time now. i enjoy the music but am not the biggest fan. overall it was a fun night. btw the dj at the shows is a god. kiss of death by satan and a weapon song were played. obscure nwobhm. i was like is that??no! wait yes!!! hell we went in just as nuns have no fun by mercyful fate was playing. that's when i thought wow something cool is happening. so thank you for playing obscure metal whoever you are. overall i had fun. heard a lot of music and talked to some old friends. good night

repulsion horified

one of the very fiew reissues that are good. this was originally a demo that got released as an album that was reissued by relapse. i don't like relapse for joining riaa (fucking assholes) and will not give them my money but this double cd is killer. i think they did it right. the first disk contains the horified lp and the second disk has everything elce they've done. see i like that. i don't like reissues with live tracks or outtakes but if you do it as a discography that's good. speaking of out of print and amazing recordings (which i wasn't but now i am) anyone know where i can find the ss decontroll first ep? erich took down some of the tracks and power doesn't have all the tracks. honestly i bought power listened to it then broke it in half and mailed it back. al if your reading this (which your not) your a fucking idiot for the power cd. i wouldn't mind if they did what relapse did and released a discography but power was just wrong. and did you hear about springa reuniting ssd with different people? that band just seems to get lower and lower on my list. but repulsion can never put a foot wrong. if sugar pie koko was too hardcore for you then so is repulsion. anyway get horified and try not to give relapse anything. i'm sorry but i just can't stand people like that. if they hadn't joined riaa i would have said buy it from relapse but because they did that get it for free somewhere. no love for assholes!
