Details:
Thrash metal was on the verge of being a
huge, unstoppable, uncompromising
force in the late eighties. Unfortunately,
most of the bands did compromise in
one-way or another. Only a handful of
groups who were at the forefront of
thrash remain remotely above ground
today. Even the underground itself seems
to have forgotten thrash.
Random Acts of Violence developed
through a very simple concept, "Crush
everything." The group combines the
attitude of punk with the ferocity of
hardcore and the technical ability of
death metal to create not just thrash but
their own take on it. The band's debut
release on Hamfist Records, "Unleashing",
is a testament to that. 12 tracks, 32
minutes of speed, brutality and
unparalleled rage that set this record
apart from most other bands in the genre.
From the colossal opening riff in the title
track "Unleashing", to the triple venomous
vocal lashings of "Hate Psalm" and the
duel guitar harmonies on "Slave", this
record will not disappoint neither the
metal purist nor the reckless punter. The
songs on the album reflect the
environment in which they were
recorded, in a confined, concrete, beer-soaked
studio hidden deep in a barren
section of the post-industrial wasteland
that is South Boston.
Random Acts of Violence has been hard at
work promoting themselves throughout
New England, playing anything and
everything offered, destroying crowds
with no discrimination. There will soon be
nothing left, and your city may be next.
