CANNIBAL CORPSE

"butchered at birth"
Year:  1991
Label:  Metal Blade
Format:  CD, LP
Tracks:  9
Time:  40 min.
Genre:  rock
Style:        Death Metal

This is a top album by the band over their enormous career. The fact that it's a follow-up from the debut album, they show much superiority in songwriting here, my favorite ever. Barnes is better on here than 'Tomb of the Mutilated', he wasn't so burly sounding, just gruesome enough to show us that he's at his mightiest. The tempos of the songs are pretty fast and the riffs are top-notch. So are the leads. I'm surprised that at early on their style was ingenious. They knew how to construct death metal that has now lasted over 30 years. On 'Butchered At Birth', they took time to formulating riffs that instill precision.

There is no downfall found in this album, it's purely immaculate in its entirety. They really show the listener what a great release is where it's at: IT'S ON HERE! Barnes has no variability on here. It's purely deep throat the whole way through and the guitars are as I've said ingenious. The leads are quality too. I think it took quite a while to construct music like this because not only is it original sounding, but it's unique too. All of the songs took a shit-ton of guts to put forth throughout the entire entourage. These guys know how to kill it and not only that but KILL IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE ALBUM!

It's my favorite Cannibal Corpse release to this date. I'm not just jumping on the bandwagon here, I'm being honest about my preference in this respect. Barnes is solid the whole way through the way that wasn't evident on it's predecessor nor the follow-up from this on 'Tomb of the Mutilated'. I've found no flaws on this album and it'll continue to remain my favorite of all time. The music, vocals, production and sound quality is all tight. And Jack/Bob rip it up here on the guitars. Original member Alex Webster racks it on bass as well. Not to mention Glen Benton guest vocals on a track on here to show you that they were at a high level early on.

I bought this CD a while ago and you can probably hear it on YouTube if you're a newbie death metal fan or metal fan at that. I didn't find any flaws on here throughout the release. I would say support the band and buy the CD. They could use the support. And forget the digital, pull out your boom box and listen to it on there. That's where I started listening to it so take back time and go old school! These guys always showed that potential and on here they deliver. Definitely will remain my favorite release on here of all time but that doesn't mean the newer material is bad in any respect! Check this out! (*Review by Orbitball ).

YOUTH OF TODAY

"break down the walls"
Year:  1986
Country:  US
City:  Brookyn, NY
Label:  Revelation
Format:  CD, LP
Tracks:  16
Time:  29 min.
Genre:  rock
Style:          Hardcore

Arguably one of the leaders of the second wave of straight edge (vegan, anti-drugs, anti-alcohol) in the mid-'80s, Youth of Today was a New York-based band started by ex-Violent Children members Ray Cappo on vocals and John Porcelly on guitar. Rounding out their lineup in 1985 with Graham Philips on bass and Darren Pesce on drums, Youth of Today recorded and released their debut EP, Can't Close My Eyes, on Positive Force, a well-known straightedge mainstay. Philips and Pesce exited shortly thereafter, and lineup changes abounded until a five-piece settled long enough to record the band's first full-length offering, 1986's Break Down the Walls. Again, the band had more lineup changes after the release and subsequent tour for Break Down the Walls, and in 1988 a four-piece Youth of Today consisting of Cappo, Porcelly, Walter Schreifels on bass, and Sammy Siegler on drums went into the studio to record their follow-up full-length, We're Not in This Alone (1988). By 1990 Youth of Today had decided to call it a day and released a farewell 7" EP on Revelation (soon to become the leading light in the next wave of straightedge). Now known as Ray 2 Day, Cappo formed the Krishna-core band Shelter, which Porcelly eventually joined as well. In 2010 the band returned until nowadays.

This project was born in 2006 in Getxo, near Bilbao, by the hand of Jevo, guitarist of Valhalla and Soulitude. After having tried and failed a similar stupid metal project called Metalcrilator together with members of Valhalla, he decided to get down to work and do it only under the name of El Reno Renardo. Satiric, ironic, humoristic and parodic heavy metal band, who writes lyrics about social issues, personal issues, politics and all subjects related to society. According to the band they make: "freak metal". El Reno Renardo sound strictly musical as heavy metal and hard rock, but they have an undisputed attitude, putting all their discography avaible totally free in their own web, writing critical lyrics and making benefit live concerts. They are honest, modest and sincere. No rock stars at all, but just common people.

four piece band started in 2008. Milenrama was born in 2008 in Sarrià de Ter (Girona), specifically in anarchist association "Apaga la Tele" (ATV). It starts with only three members: pimen (vocals and guitar), iaiu (guitar) and eoin (drums), two of them ex-members of another band. They had no bass but they started to look for their personal sound. After a few months, drummer left the band and entered isaako as the new one. Late 2008, bruno entered the band as the new bassist and they continued rehearsing and creating. Their first demo of 4 songs was born at spring of 2009. This had a good acceptation of people and they travelled around Catalonia and some parts of Spain playing and evolving. At 2011 they finally created this new album "cultura del autonegaño", a mix of protest, forceful and accelerated melodic hardcore and spanish punk. Milenrama is against: religion, nationalism, racism, fascism, homophobia and all the things that violates freedom.

SHITTY LIFE

"switch off your head"
Year:  2018
Country:  Italy
City:  Parma
Label:  Spastic Fantastic
Format:  LP
Tracks:  18
Time:  20 min.
Genre:  rock
Style:        Punk Rock

Sometimes we just need hooks, even in the genres we typically don’t think of as being defined by their catchiness. I went into Italian quintet Shitty Life’s new LP Switch Off Your Head expecting some pretty straightforward fastcore, but instead I got a bouncing dose of “power punk.” With mostly clean power chord garage riffs, some amazingly recorded drums, and raucous, pissed-off vocals, Shitty Life does nothing new in the absolute best way possible. This is what I want when I think of the phrase “pop punk”; just really infectious, well-written punk earworms that even non-hardcore fans will love, and that wouldn’t sound out of place if they came on at a party. But the pop sensibilities don’t prevent the band from baring their aggression; for pretty much the whole album you get the sense that these tightly wound tunes are about to burst at the seams, a vicious explosion of aggression struggling against its candy coating. Switch Off Your Head is a simple album, but can serve a variety of purposes: afternoon pick-me-up, skate session soundtrack, friendly fist fight music; everything except calming down in any shape or form (*Review by Jack Davison ).
