ANTiSEEN - Eat More Possum

Another month another ANTiSEEN release. This time it's 1994's Eat More Possum. Git some!

Fuck All Y'All

Poison Idea - Ian MacKaye

I mentioned at the beginning of the month that we were going heavy this month. Well, there are none more heavy than Poison Idea (literally!). This six song burner from 1989 finds PI at their peak. The album cover, well....

I've Been Laying Up Here Paying For Your Sins For 2000 Years

V/A - Nativity In Black: A Tribute To Black Sabbath

So here's another one that might ruffle some feathers around here. We'll see. I don't think anyone can dispute Black Sabbath's place in music history. They practically created 'HEAVY'. Well, here's a mid-90's tribute. Enjoy... or not.

N.I.B.

Marilyn Manson - Portrait Of An American Family

OK, let's see how this one is received. Back before Marilyn Manson became platinum selling rock stars they were just a bunch of freaks from Florida. Then in 1993, with the help of Trent Reznor, they released this full length debut. And people began to notice. Like the band or not this is loud, abrasive, and heavy. I think it's a great release. Better grab it now, I have a feeling this one might not last too long.

White Trash Get Down On Your Knees

Dr. Know - Wreckage In Flesh

Boy, I remember when this one came out. Right on the heels of what I consider two classics: Plug In Jesus and This Island Earth. Granted, Dr. Know had hinted at a metal sound on those releases, but wow, did they ever dive in head first with this one. I was so disappointed. But, now listening in retrospect, it's a good album. But I don't think it's a classic. Their Sabbath cover is bad ass, though!

Slice Of Life

Iron Christ - Self-Titled

OK, today we're back with what we're good at: Blasphemy! Spastic Rats were an awesome, though short-lived Maryland band that released one fantastic 7" found HERE. In the late 80's a couple members became Iron Christ and turned to thrash. I like the results. You decide.

The Grind

MD.45 - The Craving

Something a little different today. I stumbled upon this one on some blog (sorry, don't remember which one) and it sounded interesting. Apparently Megadoof Dave Mustaine wanted to put together a side project. So, in1996 he grabbed guys from Goldfinger, Suicidal Tendencies and none other than Mr. Lee Ving on vocals. That last one alone had me downloading. So... the music is not horrible. But the lyrics sound suspiciously like he wrote them soon after being born-again (quitter!). I've since learned this was remastered in 2006 WITHOUT Vings vocals. So, there you go.
