Scotland's Alternative. An excel

inticed with male and female vocals,
sometimes solo, sometimes har
monizing, yet always effective and
full of strength. Lyrical assertions

screams with pleasure. "Walk To-

Washington DC. area with lan Mac-

lan's mumbles on selected tracks),
while 7 Seconds were touring

While Italy's Raw Power toured
the USA last summer, they recorded
a gem of an Lp in Indiana. Finally
after months of waiting, it's finally
out! Entitled "Screams From The
Gutter, the cover features a four
color ustration by Vince Ransid,
but inside the music burns away that
cardboard sleeve. Definitely a band
in the speedcore genre, Raw Power
features twin guitarists with speed
laced metallic riffs, yet still ultra
quick in the hardcore vein. Wild voc-
als by two different singers adds a
crazy effect to this already turbulent
barrage of energy, as the voices
crack and rasp out zooming words.
If you're interested in foreign
hardcore, check into this American
release by Raw Power on Toxic
Shock Records.
Just out on Rabid Cat Records,
smoking with heated aggression
that raises the farenheit, is The Of-
fenders' incredible 'Endless Strug-
gle' album. This platter is third de-
gree burns, it's a speed venture with
a no holds barred power approach
that rips the melting flesh. At first lis
ten, comparisons go towards MDC
or Suicidal Tendencies, but The Of
fenders shine through punch after
punch, delivering a hearty ensemble
of goods and pure energy. A woll re-
corded effort that should bring them
to the threshold. This captures all
the right moves. Blasting vocal bel-
lows, rapid, grinding guitar work,
throbbing bass jams and quick
plunges make it all come together as
the vinyl spins and the music fies
into the atmosphere at a furious
rate. Potentially a release to please
with 13 high adrenalin tracks,
AAAHHH, The Offenders at their
finest.
From out of England comes the
latest effort by Icons of Filth, and it
spurts out the energetic charge. A
very nice seven inch sleeve packag
ing done by Naomi, whose art is
really outstanding, crafty lettering
also. Icons of Filth explode into 3
head bopping tracks, fast and gut
gritty, spewing out more than a
mouthful of manifesting lyrics; evi-
dent on Enough is Enough and
"Success on a Plate (For Who?).
Harsh, pushy vocals roar out the
mouthing sounds from the throat
which work well with the musical on-
semble. Whining guitars ocho
madly, with the non-hesitant bar-
rage of fury and sold temperance.
Icons of Filth Brain Death' Ep is a
classic example of true befiets back-
ed by forceful music. If the public
looks at it as anger, then there must
be angry people against social prob
lems who wish to be heard. On Mor-
tar Hate Records.
