This is Deity Down Records’ first non-metal release, and it was recorded back in 1993, but never released. I don’t understand why they felt the need to release this, though, as it’s not really any good.
Ok, there’s a hint of metal here, since it’s sort of a hardcore/thrash crossover album. Hardcore in the vein of Black Flag, punk rock in the vein of Dead Kennedys, and Going to the pub is a showcase of Oi!. For the first few tracks there’s even some seriously annoying hip hop-vibes as well. At times I even think of the first Beastie Boys record. You know, the hardcorepunk one, before they turned into hip hop. And the end result of all these mixed genres reminds me a lot of The Rollins Band.
But no matter the sort of intricate riffing and rocking drumming it’s just too widespread. All these genres are unfortunately never linked together, making the album flow smoothly, but rather changing from track to track. Making it sound more like a compilation CD. It’s also extremely melodic, too melodic for me at times. Sure, I don’t mind almost pure punk rock like Chemical century, and Positive is an absolutely killer aggressive crossover track. But it’s all just too weird for me.
