"Thrash War" 7" 4-way Split (Valhalla Pacifists/Patient Zero/Worker & Parasite/Brain Dead)

Right, this is a four way split released jointly by Keep Screaming Records and Demo-Lition Records. As mentioned the bands on it are the Valhalla Pacifists, Patient Zero, Worker and Parasite and Brain Dead. They have 3-4 tracks each and make a fine job of it.

The Valhalla Pacifists open up the whole thing with some blinding thrash and with some blatant Scholastic Deth influences being thrown into the bundle just for good measure. Their section is introduced with the amusing "Street Fight" between the Ron Burgundy and the other news teams which is just funny haha.

Next up is Patient Zero which deliver some tight as fuck screeching Thrash, with a similar sound to Charles Bronson or Das Oath. Some very intelligent lyrics from these guys too about poseurs and an unprecedented hatred for the fashion industry haha! Fuck those skinny bitches! Stand out tracks are "Alkatraz" and "Poseur Pt2". Real Balls to the Wall stuff.

Flipping the record over and we get Worker and Parasite (who I have to admit are a personal fav of mine) who seem to brign a bastard mix of Thrash and Grind into the equation with songs that just rip through your ears with unrelenting blast beats. "Cluster Fuck" has some brilliant shout outs at the end which are guaranteed to upset someone.

Brain Dead (another personal fav) are the best but by no means least band on this little split who deliver some absolutely CRUSHING Power Violence in a truly Man is the Bastard style manner, with ploddy and pounding base lines, ripping blast beats and roared vocals that shake the very core of your body. LOVE IT!!

It totally recommend it.
