│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Holy hell, this is good. It's nice to hear a ║ │
│║ blast of what real old school hardcore sounds ║ │
│║ like, unlike the sludgy groove metal dirges ║ │
│║ youngsters associate with the style these days. ║ │
│║ When I say "old school", I mean as in early ║ │
│║ 1980s, when hardcore was frenzied, furious at ║ │
│║ the world at large, got in, made its point, and ║ │
│║ got out inside of a minute and change, all at ║ │
│║ about 100mph, with ranting screaming vocals and ║ │
│║ energy to spare. Slayer have always made it ║ │
│║ clear that this played a big part in their sound ║ │
│║ and style, and this album is a very convincing ║ │
│║ run through of some golden oldies from that era. ║ │
│║ I'd rate it higher if it were an actual Slayer ║ │
│║ album, since they've not had this kind of energy ║ │
│║ since the days of "South of Heaven" and "Seasons ║ │
│║ in the Abyss" (on the faster numbers from that ║ │
│║ album anyway), but this is still a really good ║ │
│║ album anyway. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ I give them credit for mostly not choosing ║ │
│║ obvious bands (other than Minor Threat) from the ║ │
│║ genre to cover, first of all; not many folks ║ │
│║ these days remember the likes of D.I., TSOL, Dr. ║ │
│║ Know, and Verbal Abuse. I could've done with a ║ │
│║ Bad Brains tune or two, myself, but that's just ║ │
│║ my preference. I think they were choosing mostly ║ │
│║ West Coast bands since they're from L.A., and ║ │
│║ that's perfectly OK, since, again, most of these ║ │
│║ bands are not known at all to today's youth. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ It's well-produced, too, which makes these songs ║ │
│║ have even more impact than the original versions ║ │
│║ in that respect; the guitars have that trademark ║ │
│║ grungy Slayer tone from back in the day, the ║ │
│║ drums are perfectly mixed, and the bass is even ║ │
│║ audible, something you don't hear on a Slayer ║ │
│║ album. Then again, the bass led the charge much ║ │
│║ of the time in hardcore's glory days, and Tom ║ │
│║ Araya gets lots of chances to shine throughout ║ │
│║ the album with a dirty bass sound that adds ║ │
│║ healthy amounts of heft and grit to the overall ║ │
│║ wall of sound, but it' s not so fuzzed out you ║ │
│║ can't hear what he's doing. And he really beats ║ │
│║ the crap out of the thing, too. To my surprise, ║ │
│║ Paul Bostaph earns the award for "Most Improved" ║ │
│║ on this album, as his drum performance here ║ │
│║ leaves his sloppy showing on "Divine ║ │
│║ Intervention" in the dust in more ways than one. ║ │
│║ He's far tighter and more intense on this album, ║ │
│║ and the bits of double kick he throws in fit ║ │
│║ well and don't come off as gratuitious at all, ║ │
│║ to my surprise. It doesn't sound as though he's ║ │
│║ triggered, either, which lends some more ║ │
│║ credibility to his cause. Hannemann and King, ║ │
│║ well, you know what to expect from them; tight ║ │
│║ riffing and their usual noisy, chaotic ║ │
│║ soloing--not as much in evidence as usual here ║ │
│║ since hardcore rarely featured lead guitar. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Standouts? Lots of 'em! I really pick Dr. Know's ║ │
│║ "Mr. Freeze" since it features some really nasty ║ │
│║ and sinster lyrics and Araya lets out the most ║ │
│║ chilling scream he'd let out in years at the ║ │
│║ time at the end as he sings "You try to think ║ │
│║ with reason/But all you can do is SCREAM!!!" In ║ │
│║ fact. his vocals throughout are fantastic, and I ║ │
│║ can envision him turning bright red, spit ║ │
│║ flying, veins bulging as he rants away with ║ │
│║ feverish intensity. Also their blistering run ║ │
│║ through of D.R.I.'s classic "Violent ║ │
│║ Pacification" is convincing, with Bostaph ║ │
│║ putting the gas pedal to the floor as he blasts ║ │
│║ away through the frenetic first half and ║ │
│║ pounding the hell out of his tom toms in the ║ │
│║ slower second half. Most everything else on this ║ │
│║ album is fun and exciting as well. The sole ║ │
│║ original tunes on here, the Ddamm songs and ║ │
│║ "Gemini" are good as well; the Ddamm songs are ║ │
│║ fun to scream along to with mindless lyrics and ║ │
│║ the circle pit part on "Can't Stand You" is ║ │
│║ awesome! "Gemini" is the creepiest thing they'd ║ │
│║ written in years at the time; a slow, simple ║ │
│║ riff with doomy ambience that really works and a ║ │
│║ solo that evokes Tony Iommi in his prime. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ If you want to hear what real hardcore from back ║ │
│║ in the day sounded like, delivered by a band ║ │
│║ that obviously loves and respects the genre, you ║ │
│║ could do worse than picking this up. Obviously, ║ │
│║ going back to hear the originals as well is ║ │
│║ always a great thing, too, which I highly ║ │
│║ recommend. But yeah, this is definitely worth ║ │
│║ picking up for the fun factor and the energy ║ │
│║ level as well. ║ │
