PUSZING
Muscular convulsions whince
out facial contortions, as the
screaming sound rattles elec-
tricla charges underneath the hair
risen flesh. Grinding roars force
grimacing stares from the
spectres in the gallery, but the
crypt is empty, for the sound con-
tinues with a deafening shrill. A
light reflects off a revolving diec
as it sends flickers of sudden
glows against the walls. Further
Inspections proves to be a wise
decision, for the noise screams
from the disc, by an arm holding a
needle where the stylus missed
the groove and bumps along the
vinyl's side, racking out hideous
growls of rough furbulence. A
flash of the hand, the placement
is made, and the journey into the
Puszone begins....
Scorching metallic hardcore
blasts wild and feverous as six
Japanese bands prove to be crazed
aggression packed in speed flurries.
Hard hitting riffs and maniac iron
leads send up to this furious attack,
each fronted by a raspy, raunch voc-
alist. Great Punk Hits offers twelve
slices of chaotic activity from Japan,
each with a menacing wallop.
Featuring action packed assaults by
Gism, The Execute, Laughing
Nose, The Clay, G-Zet and
Aburadako. This compilation vinyl
Increases the demand for this new
combination of raw hardcore
punched in with speed metal. Great
Punk Hits has a ferocious onslaught
of compelling power, a must for
slammashers
everywhere! On
Japan Records.
if the vocals weren't nasty enough
on that last platter, wait till your ears
get tarnished by the clamorous
siege of Die Kreuzen's Dan
Kubinski. Blistered tonsils split open
as he wails out the spit paced growl-
ing, a titanic demon which holds
your mind in fear. The sheer
grounded flavor of the grievous
voice makes your curiosity rage in
what the next track offers.
Completely insane besets of mis-
silling quickness and savage bass
plucks highlight Die Kreuzens
debut album. Brutal performances
of unrelenting fury ravages spasms
of exhilatating assertiveness. Die
Krauzen force feed 21 alarming
tracks (each a highlight in its own
right), filling all combinations of vig-
orous energy and fult tilt expres
sionism. Well-produced with crazed
outer graphics, this exceptional plat-
tor haunts as it storms with speed,
velocity, and engulfing vocal
strength. Finally the true slice. On
Touch & Go Records...of course.
Touch & Go, P.O. Box 716,

Robust harmonies in the vein of 7
Seconds, Minor Threat or Youth
Brigade, charge forth from that Ox-
nard field of unique outfits, with
Stalag 13, on their debut vinyl, In
54
Control. Well arranged harmonies
that bounce rapidly in your brain with
strong sing along capabilities. Prog-
ressive guitar Jeads launch you into
spicy musical blends of frantic
power with the off beat of Ron's voc-
als to the band's sound composition.
But the effects work with a charisma
all their own and add to the vigor of
Stalag 13. Tame yet raw with sheer
fire speed and building chord
changes makes this another favorite
on the turntable. Another cult hit.
Stalag 13, the inspiration is obvious,
but nicely done, on Upstart Re-
cords.
Earatic meltdown of marvellous
delight drips its way into perhaps
one of the finest 7" eps yet produc-
ed. The Instigators The Blood is on
Your Hands has that potential, for it
has all the right licks, and special
hooks that keep the creative sound
alive. Hailing out of the U.K., The In-
stigators musical arrangements
thrust with a melodic rapidness as a
sharp band ensemble fire out
superb performances as the
rhythms change with structure.
Vocal manifestations thoughtfully
worded and truthfully spewed out at-
tack as The Instigators travel thru
hardcore havoc and add a new slice
of creativity to its exhilirating stance.
Fast, stirring, powerful and alarming
yet smooth with gusto. Strong be-
liefs will get minds thinking as The
Instigators fill your ear full in the
tradition of those U.K. Subhumans.
On Bluurg Records.
Two outrageous seven inchers on
the Rabid Records label assail with
a hammering sonic thrash explo-
sion. Urgent cyclones of chaotic in-
tensity shoot forth from this vinyl vol-
tage. First, blazing guitar action
charges into sudden high velocity
flailing from The Offenders. I Hate
Myself is perhaps their strongest
number yet with its lightning gast ap-
proach and crackling vocals, but stil
jaunting the line of disorder. Gon-
zold slashes from this Offenders
unit, drives, drives chills into the
open wound, as the maniac turbu-
lence is swift and effective. A tasty
release. Secondly, N.O.T.A. (None
of the above) whips five songs into
a frenzy of untamed fury, increasing
the artillery of aggression with each
passing note. Brutally fast with ton-
yue tying vocals, the guitars are
walls of distorted pleasure arising
with firebolts of hungry licks. Blitzing
drums bites, hammer down some
contagious ability. N.O.T.A. hail
from Oklahoma, their acceleration
and courage to engage in this thrash
warfare is staggering with no
'generic tendencies, as invading
changes progress with bulldozing
power. Both The Offenders and
N.O.T.A. offer some mighty in-
cinerating rhythms, quick and eager,
yet shimmering with exuberance.
Available through Rabid Records,
Box 49263, Austin, Texas 78765.
Conflict
Blake-Stalag 13
Conflict, the essential political
thrash, disorder attack from the
U.K, have released their second
album entitled Increase the Pres-
sure and indeed Conflict does.
Haunting chaotic slides of furious
guitar neck action, spews out lethal
grinds of forceful mayhem. Conflict
spits out instigation to the majors,
challenging while sledge-hammer-
ing down the truth, seemingly over-
powering the galloping sound which
backdrops the strength of Conflict's
beliefs. Anxious and crazed, with the
rage of a blizzard, Conflict blurt out
speed and destruction, which
creates its own harmonies. It then
soothes, catching you off guard, vic-
timized as the melodies grow to high
intensities. Conflict contain a qual-
ity that reflects their positive activist
stance, with the inferno starting to
rise, Conflicts invasion will be the
first step. Listen, think and enjoy.
This is a fabulous dose of raw help-
ful power. On Conflict's-Mortar
Hate label.
