Description

A Taste Of Armageddon LP 1989
Label: Master #: BBSLP 003 Country: UK
Info: All UK demo acts, mostly of the Thrash-kind. Compiled & produced by Buster Bloodvessel of BAD MANNERS.

Side A: (27:03)

1. TREASON – Path Of No Return
Good, energic midpace Thrash. A bit generic but enjoyable.
2. DEVIANT – The Slayer
Classy, riff-oriented Power-Thrash you’d usually hear coming from the other side of the Atlantic.
3. SNYPER – Death Rite At Sunset
One of the UKs best kept Thrash-secrets. Grunting & mean Thrash that may not have been the tightest ever, but they still managed to be both catchy and original.
4. FIRST BLOOD – None So Blind
Hairy, workin’ mans Thrash-Metal. Sounds a bit like DEATHWISH or SNYPER but with more breaks so of course its good.
5. ARBITRATER – Memories Of Yesterday
Melodic Speed Metal, a tad more slick than the previous couple of contenders. Nice one. “the intro to this reminds me of Accept for some reason, the song itself reminds me of Helloween”.

Side B: (19:20)

1. METAL MESSIAH – Honour Among Thieves
Together with TREASONs mighty rare 12″ the only band on here that later came to release a vinyl of their own. Tight & well-produced Thrash sounding like ATHROPY or a more polished DEATHWISH.
2. RESENTMENT – Violence Is Now
More talented Thrash with lots of breaks & stuff a lá the Bay-Area lot.
3. WRECKAGE – Dogs Of War
Wow! Out of nowhere a bombardier with a pure gem of 1st class Heavy Metal. A ridiculously catchy Metal Anthem with Conklin-style vocals and fantastic leads. Someone dig up the dirt on these guys asap!
4. WARPSPEED – The Nothing Room
weird-paced tune.
5. PURGATORY – Warring Factions
Anthrax-style thrash-light.
