Classic madness and violence! Death Metal history, the ultimate edition!
\nDeath Strike need little introduction to anyone who would consider themselves seasoned in the realm of Death Metal, the legendary Paul Speckmann\u0092s debut foray into the genre has garnered pretty much cult status now as a genre classic and not without good reason. This reissue of 1991 album compiles the debut demo from \u009185 together with four other tracks for the rather aptly titled \u0093Fuckin\u0092 Death\u0094, and being brutally honest, could you possibly have a more suitable description for the sensory annihilation present on these recordings?<\/p>\n
It\u0092s that fact that half this material was recorded back in the mid-eighties that really makes it stand out, Death Metal was still in its infantile stages back then with extreme metal making a transition between the Crust influenced filth of Hellhammer and the ilk to a more brutal strain with bands like Possessed and Slaughter emerging out of the underground with a significantly more potent and brutal form of metal unlike anything heard before, and when you realize it came out at the same time as two monumental releases by the aforementioned bands you wonder why the fuck it never got quite as much attention as it was just as influential if not more so than those classics.<\/p>\n
If you\u0092re one of the unenlightened still wondering who the fuck Death Strike are, \u0093Fuckin\u0092 Death\u0094 was essentially just the first Master album under a different moniker, and along with Master\u0092s debut and \u0093On the Seventh Day…\u0094 are Death Metal classics. The first four tracks as previously mentioned are from 1985 and astonishingly ahead of their time. It\u0092s basically \u0091Hellhammer on crack\u0092, fast brutal and utterly primal Death Metal with that huge hardcore influence shining through. Paul\u0092s vocals are a maniacal and wretched reverbed howl that just add to the chaos conjured with Kirk\u0092s unbridled leads, the d-beat styled drumming and thundering, bowel shaking bass. Songs like \u0093Pay to Die\u0094 and \u0093Re-Entry and Destruction\u0094 are impossible not to like, it\u0092s extreme metal heaven (or hell, whichever you prefer), straight-forward, catchy and downright punishing.<\/p>\n
It\u0092s the lo-fi shoddy execution and production of the whole thing which adds so much character to this release and so many others from the same time frame, a character and feeling which is sadly lost in today\u0092s tech and blast obsessed bands. In our books \u0093Fuckin\u0092 Death\u0094 is pretty much a classic of primitive Death Metal and when you consider when it originally was released that makes it all the more spectacular, and now that it\u0092s finally seen a re-release it makes obtaining a copy something that won\u0092t cause your bank account to have a fit.<\/p>\n
