Metal blasts from the past
The Napalm Death show didn’t pass so easiy for me as it turned. I’m now officially a ND fan. Therefore? I started getting their records maniacally. Thus I’ve got three old albums “From Enslavement To Obliteration”, “Harmony Corruption”, “Utopia Banished” and 2 compilations. I regret I’ve bought “Noise For Music’s Sake” compilation though. As there’s no style in song shuffle. Instead of solid album feel there’s total chaos: tracks from various eras mixed making listening not so immersive. Only thing this 2CD compilation is good for is to try a couple of songs before buying proper album. I really wanna get “Diatribes” album as it was my long time favorite but looks like local shops don’t have it and not gonna have it in near future, well, this makes the hunt more interesting :)
Also, nothing of these past albums beats the last two: “Smear Campaign” and “Time Waits for no Slave”. These two are the best ND albums! Another compilation is rather good. This is “Grind Madness at the BBC”. The collection of the Peel sessions for BBC recorded back in the late 80s and early 90s. There’s proper bunch of bands on these 3CDs: Napalm Death, Carcass, Bolt Thrower,
Extreme Noise Terror and other oldskoolers. Young grindcore from the past sounds kinda nostalgic yet cool.
And the final CD I finally bought is Carnivore “Retaliation”. I just had to buy it, this is the last album from Peter Steele I didn’t have. Now since he passed away (sob) I just had to get everything I didn’t have in my collection.
