Desecration

Desecration / Subverse split LP

We forgot this one last issue, but don’t you miss out. DESECRATION (AZ) hits hard with a dozen songs reminiscent of the new UK thrash acts (HERESY, RIPCORD, etc.), with excellent caring social/political words. Canada’s SUBVERSE keeps up the momentum with a harsh, abrasive thrash sound with hoarse vocals, also possessing good sentiments. A great introduction to two of the hottest up-and-coming HC acts.

Desecration Who’s in Control? 12″

This is well-done speed stuff with guitar leads, lots of power, and intense vocals. Excellent lyrics to boot—good debut… but those leads.

Desecration Damaged by Decibels cassette

A four-song “death metal core band” that zips along at a frantic pace, isn’t as metal as it is thrash, and avoids lame lyrics and sticks to political/social subjects. A pretty hot debut.
