THE ACCÜSED - MARTHA SPLATTERHEAD'S MADDEST STORIES EVER TOLD


I was introduced to this album in high-school by kool Mandy who's talents included squishing fart sounds between her clammy hands. She could also blast away one handed up against a variety of surfaces, both impressive and fitting... 'Maddest Stories Ever Told is my favorite among a slew of great Accüsed releases and without a doubt one of the greatest thrash records of all time! These zombie lovin' punkers laid their contemporaries to waste. Riff after monumental riff, this record is utterly overwhelming. Blane Fart screams like his balls are dangling in a cuisinart. The band matches his intensity 100%. This is definitely the best line up in their 30+ year career. There's a few great covers on here including a faithful rendition of Lights Out by the Angry Samoans. The overall production exudes an erie, after dark insanity. As the opening track winds up, you know you're fucked! Hide in a coffin, crank up the volume on your walkman and pray the rotting hordes pass you by. Brains!

VOIVOD - KILLING TECHNOLOGY LP



















Voivod were introduced to me in high school by a trenchcoat-wearing (even in the summer) zit-faced, BB gun freak named Jazz as "the canadian DRI". He also said it was his favorite music to fuck to... Anyway, I love DRI but, Voivod wipes the floor with them. Killing Technology is the third release in their stellar career. Despite a raging rhythm section and shouted nutcase vocals, their most notable attribute was the guitarist's backwardly distinct riffing. WTF? Sit down and try to play some of this stuff. It's totally weird. (RIP Piggy) Voivod were an absoute powerhouse of 80's thrash. Seriously hilarious and hilariously serious! The perfect soundtrack to bludgeon zombie cops with your skateboard.

My favorite music video of all time:
