The material here is about 1-2 years old, but that shouldn’t deter you from picking this disk up. From Japan comes EXECUTE, a mainstay of the HC scene there. Their tunes appeared on a 7″ there, re-released here in all their powerful glory, with little or no metal damage. INFERNO, from Germany, have a bit more melody but at no loss of power — and again no metal overdose. Hot!
Well, two of the songs here rock hard, though there’s a lot more guitar doodling than previously. On the flip we get one moody tune and a short reprise, both laced with malice. Don’t know.
The four excellent straightforward thrashers here will all be appearing on Pushead’s EXECUTE/INFERNO split 12″ really soon, so you’ll get to check this one out or yourself. Good one.
Ramcharging ferocity from Japan. Wild distorted guitar howls, punching out sonic rage, fierce power with scowling vocals. Intense stuff, quick with crazed leads. “Criminal Flowers” features some eerie abrasive melodies with booming front-running beat. EXECUTE hold their own without a repititious cycle. By far my fave Japanese band.
