BLACK TASK-BLACK TASK E.P. 1985 + SPIKES TO THE WALL DEMO 1984 + INCRIMINATED SPLIT SINGLE

Let the punk metal nightmare begin, here's a raw and unrelenting band that's still pretty obscure. Formed in 1983 and split after 1986, these dudes left behind some very aggressive shit. First up is the BLACK TASK E.P, A fine piece of crossover type thrash, very punk but yet very metal also. The songs are all fast and are somewhat primitive at times. The vocals here are definitely punk and the drumming also. The guitars are completely blown out and destroyed, sometime it almost sounds like a small explosion. The overall sound here is terriable, but still I like it. My favorites are "Sex and destruction","Firestorm" and "Smash your face", which is the best track here and a damn angry little ditty. All the tracks

are memorable though. Then we get to the SPIKES TO THE WALL demo, another piece of angry crossover with terriable sound. This one is a little more metal. The solos are good and the whole vibe is way more in the heavy metal/thrash direction. The first track "Satan's mother" is awesome and these all follow the same path as the E.P. You got to hear the cowbell on "Spikes to the wall", classic. Next is the split with INCRIMINATED, I'm not sure how this came about because it was released in 2006 I think, considering thats over 20 years after the original recording. Anyway this has an extra track from the 84 demo called "Warriors of hell" and a good one at that. Though I didn't list them below the INCRIMINATED tracks are included...Enjoy!
