This
cassette, which is a live set, opens with the not-so-true statement of “We are
Metallica”. Then, they quickly say “Thank
you, good night” in what is probably the shortest set of all-time.
What
ensues when this set finally gets going is mayhem. It is distorted, loud and all out just a kick
to your head that sends your head clear across the room. It is thrash. It is metal.
There are moments of sludge and just complete and utter violence.
When
not filled with screaming, there are instrumental moments as well and I do
enjoy that. I always appreciate when the
heavier bands go instrumental, sort of to show violence can be had without
screaming and all that.
As
far as comparisons, there are none really, but the closest I can get is perhaps
Uphill Battle. (The one that used to be
on- I think- Relapse, as there are probably a hundred forgotten bands with that
name now)
But,
hey, NOXAGT says it best themselves with the simple line spoken to the
audience: “If it isn’t broke, then break it” (I’m paraphrasing here) That really does describe this on such a
great level and this is just some great, harsh noise.
