█ Upon first receiving this album to review I was █
█ thrown off by the bandÆs name. These guys must be █
█ really angry to use such a vulgar phrase for their █
█ band name. Sometimes bands that have outrageous █
█ names do it just to make up for their quality of █
█ music. In this case I think people should not be █
█ turned away due to the bandÆs name because the █
█ music is AWESOME! Fuck Off is a Spanish thrash █
█ metal band that formed in the mid-eighties when █
█ Thrash was at its peek. Their heavy technical █
█ Thrash style reminds me of the New York band █
█ Toxik. The riffs are lighting fast and well pieced █
█ together. They also sound a bit like Anthrax with █
█ the uptempo guitar sections. The singerÆs vocal █
█ style sounds similar to Joey BelladonnaÆs too. █
█ These guys along with a band called Legion were █
█ the two Thrash bands that ruled Spain back in the █
█ late eighties. The album ôA Different Sacrifice █
█ 1987-1988ö is a compilation of Fuck OffÆs music █
█ from 1987-1988. Most of the songs on the album are █
█ from their debut full length album ôA Different █
█ Sacrifice.ö █
█ If you are looking for great classic thrash metal █
█ then this is the album for you. The first track is █
█ a ripping piece of Thrash metal called, ôNo █
█ Return.ö The rhythms are fast paced with a melodic █
█ thrash appeal in certain parts. Again I hear the █
█ Anthrax influence in this song during the vocal █
█ parts. The drumming is intense with a great sense █
█ for timing. This is real head banging music and █
█ the second track keeps the feel from the first █
█ track going. Song three ôAnother Sacrificeö is a █
█ long thrash track and has the blue print of early █
█ Metallica songs. The intro starts out slow and █
█ then the palm muting quick riff comes in. One █
█ aspect I high enjoy about this album is the guitar █
█ playing. On track number five ôThe Last Fight,ö █
█ the guitar intro part is wicked with quick hammer █
█ ons and pull offs. The guitarists style is █
█ extremely fluid especially during his solos. When █
█ he does guitar tapping during the solos on certain █
█ songs I am left speechless. I find that people do █
█ not give thrash metal guitarists enough credit █
█ because I feel this guy could be the next Kirk █
█ Hammett if given more recognition. Also, the riffs █
█ are solid thrash riffs that are very technical in █
█ some areas which tie together to create brilliant █
█ overall great songs. █
█ While listening to this compilation I scratch my █
█ head wondering why Fuck Off did not become bigger █
█ and get any recognition. These guys are just as █
█ good as American thrash bands like Exodus, █
█ Testament, and Dark Angel. I feel these guys may █
█ be like Anvil and were overlooked for some strange █
█ reason. Is it the band name? The band name must █
█ not prevent people from listening to these guys █
█ because the great quality of thrash is definitely █
█ worth checking out. I find the lack of recognition █
█ for Fuck Off to be very unfortunate and hope that █
█ this album gets the word out about one of SpainÆs █
█ greatest thrash metal bands. A band such as Fuck █
█ Off deserves to be signed to major labels and get █
█ radio play. The consistency speaks volume and I █
█ find that is an element lacking in modern metal █
█ music. Maybe like Anvil a fan will create a movie █
█ and help give this band the credit they deserve. █
