CD1
Tales Of Destruction (The Dogs D’Amour)

The Clerical Conspiracy (Sabbat)

(Na Na) Nukklear Rokket (Wrathchild)                     This video was shot in and around the home Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden when he lived near Chiswick in 1988. He is a protester with poster, whilst I play the mad professor. The group performed out in Bruce’s’ car park. The budget was very low so the video was filmed on U-matic made to look like film. Note the re appearing torch on the singers gun!
Seventh Church Of The Apocalyptic (Lawnmower Deth)
Low Life (Trixx Federation)
Read My Lips (Tattoed Love Boys)
Goddess (Acid Reign)
Rock & Roll Lady (Lisa Dominique)

I’m On Fire (Mantas)  Venom guitarist goes all melodic in your ass
Deny Reality – Re (Animator)

Surrender (Midnight Blue)   Doogie White vocals   Alex Dickson guitar, vocals etc.
Queen Of The Night (Death Trash)
CD2
Living Without You (Tigertailz) 4:05 Kim Hooker version
Prey To The Lord (Deathwish) 7:23
Looking For A Lady (Last Of The Teenage Idols) 3:38

Testify To Me (Virus) 4:40        very Kreator and Celtic Frost like. 80’s Thrash was fuckin awesome
Nights On Fire (Torino) 3:25

Spirit City (Sacrilege) 4:04               Here is a demo version from the “Reaping the Demo(n)s” compilation. Great female vocals!
Love Attack (After Hours) 3:58
One Way Ride (Lixx) 5:45
Madman (Metal Messiah) 3:31
So Alone (Soho Roses) 3:11


Apparently, there were only two styles of metal in Britain in 1989. Big hair, and Thrash. Hats off to the compilers of the album for mixing up the styles through, so you never get two of the same genres in a row.
Sabbat are the clear #1, the technical thrash standing out above even the best other bands. Sacrilege are the only band comparable, in having the most distinct sound along with Sabbat, and having one of the best songs on the compilation.
There’s a couple of dirty metal-punk style tracks from Deathwish and Virus.
More thrash too…Metal Messiah and its worth raving…picking a song like Madman makes them as good as all the other best bands here.
There is one band that stood out, up there with Sabbat despite the completely difference style. Low Life by Trixx Federation is an amazing rock song, does everything you want of a song that’ll make you feel great. The band feels like a great cohesive unit, like this was a bunch of guys who could’ve made a big name for themselves. There’s no info bout them on the internet, though. How is that possible? Bands disappear into obscurity, sometimes because they fucking suck, but here’s a great band that actually seems to have vanished down the Memory Hole.
