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.
