    Judging Ugandan pop/hip-hop is above my pay grade, so all I can say is that I was skeptical listening to the first few songs, but by the end of the album I wanted to listen again, and halfway through the third and final listen I bought.

    Lemmy meets Slayer and they do speed together…speed metal, that is- I don’t know what the fuck you were thinking.

    Fucking brilliant.

    It’s like Slayer doing crossover, with a little Lemmy in the mix in the song structures, not the vocals. Love the album artwork.

    Edit: This band slays. They can do thrash, black-n-roll, heavy instrumental interludes, samples, and whatever, but everything is cohesive, and the sound is complete. Killer, killer, killer. Killer shit from Colombia.

    $18 for a digital copy hurt, but as a collector of awesome music, I had to have this. Killer hard rock and metal originating out of Venezuela. The vocals are out of this world.

    Google isn’t helping me figure out much about this album. The production suggests it’s newish, and the release date says 2024, yet an interview of the band in 2003 suggests they’d left metal behind, way back then.

    Apparently they made 3 LPs in the 80s. Put them up on Bandcamp!!!
  5. Hecho en Venezuela

    Hecho en Venezuela
    by Resistencia
    What a cultural time capsule. NWOBHM and hard rock, coming out of Venezuela in 1981: Teen angst as a snapshot of a country in its best of times heading towards its worst of times.

    This shit rocks and it rolls. The mid-range vocals are perfect, and frequently veer into falsetto screams and wails that are over the top and would make King Diamond proud.

    A whole lot to unpack here.
  6. Fear Of Reality (The Lost "Gama Records Album")

    Fear Of Reality (The Lost "Gama Records Album")
    by Sudden Darkness
    Certified organic 80s thrash metal, lost for almost 40 years but resurrected from the grave! Many thrash bands have come and gone, and come again, but few ever got the riffs and changeups just right. These guys surely did just that, separating thrash from the genre jungle as an art to be worshipped.

    This is killer old school thrash, tho suffers the weak production typical of the 80s. I wonder what they could do with a little remastering?

    Cookie Monster meets infectious rhythms, and dare I say… melody? Fuck yes, indeed.

    Edit: This band is blowing my mind. For all the heaviness, their sense of space and time in the song structures is brilliant.
  8. Hello My Brother

    Hello My Brother

    Considering how off the radar this is, it’s shockingly good hard rock. Comes across as Alice In Chains meets Chuck Mosley’s Faith No More.
  9. Return Of The Witchfinder

    Return Of The Witchfinder

    Falling somewhere between early Mercyful Fate and King Diamond’s solo stuff, this would be a shameful ripoff if it wasn’t so god damn good. I worship at the altar of early ‘Fate and wish the King had kept his edge, and this is the next best thing.
  10. Immersion

    Immersion
    by FRACTALIZE
    Intense and interesting. Clearly worshipping at the altar of Meshuggah, and while vocals are absent that void is filled by a more intense bottom end, and guitar picking that becomes its own rhythmic instrument.

    This is brilliant, but I’d love to see what this guy would do with some artistic collaboration. One man bands can get stuck in one dimension and the potential shown here could be a global phenomenon with just a little tweaking.

    Let me finish by saying again, this is brilliant.
  11. The Legend of Spectacular Living

    Alternative electronic, trip-hop, darkwave, etc. If you like those tags you’ll love this. Male and female vocals playing with a driving rhythm make this all it needs to be. Tremendous vibe.

    This is pretty awesome. I hear pop, alt rock, and perhaps a smidge of heavy folk. It’s quirky, melodic, and has a lot of changeups that keep things interesting. Reminds me vaguely of early 90s Jellyfish.

    I simply cannot believe only one other person has purchased this.
  13. State of Emergency

    State of Emergency
    by Black Denim Rage
    Excellent speedy thrash with hardcore-ish vocals. The bass guitar is mixed to sound like a bass drum, which threw me a bit while trying to sort out what I was listening to. It comes across as unique and I dig it.

    Edit: Nope, I believe it’s a bass drum with a double-bass pedal. Regardless, it is a very interesting and unique style and effect.

    Killer punk metal outta the SF Bay Area. Way better than I expected when my new friend said “I used to sing in a band…”

    by Amethyst
    Killer homage to late 70s and early 80s metal. Taking cues from progressive rock, NWOBHM, and speed, this fuses fast-paced riffs and rhythms with clean vocals that remind me of being a teenager. Killer songwriting and perfect production.
  16. Demo 1989 + The Prophecy

    Demo 1989 + The Prophecy
    by Mortality
    10 tracks of face melting thrash from ‘89 and ‘90. Never heard of them, found browsing 80’s metal on BC.

    These are demos so production is poor, but for sound and songwriting this is as good as anything that came out in that period, sounding like a combination of the best of early Metallica and early Slayer. If this had come out in ‘83 with better production it would have been a global phenomenon.

    They put out stuff 15 years later with better production, but the rawness of this is missing.

    Unchained
    by Thor
    This is what Bandcamp is all about! Manowar meets Meatloaf! Found this surfing the “80s metal” tag. Never heard of ‘em, and the album cover meant it was gonna be real good, or real bad. It came out in 1983 and the main dude won bodybuilding competitions before deciding to form a band, and it’s fucking great! But when I found out they reissued it in orange vinyl with a 20 page comic book, that’s when my wallet just leapt from my pocket.

    Check out their wiki, there’s a lot going on.

    Fantastic speedy NWOBHM retro worship. Everything is just right, with a smidge of extra crunch in the rhythm guitar that tickles my fancy.

    I’ve encountered this band before and never bought because their later stuff is a bit too polished, but this their apparent first, is nearly perfect.
  19. Rise And Ride

    Classic throwback to the early 80s when speed metal and hair metal were still sorting things out. This has killer riffs and song structures, and great vocals, and it’s fun. Proper homage to the best decade in Western history.
  20. Heavy Metal Nightmare

    Pure early 80s metal worship. It’s like it’s 1981 and Motley Crue came out of Denmark instead of California.
