Death Metal history, the ultimate edition!\u003cbr\u003eDeath Strike need little introduction to anyone who would consider themselves seasoned in the realm of Death Metal, the legendary Paul Speckmann's debut foray into the genre has\u003cbr\u003egarnered pretty much cult status now as a genre classic and not without good reason. This reissue of 1991 album compiles the debut demo from '85 together with four other tracks\u003cbr\u003efor the rather aptly titled 'Fuckin' Death', and being brutally honest, could you possibly have a more suitable description for the sensory annihilation present on these recordings?\u003cbr\u003eIt's that fact that half this material was recorded back in the mid-eighties that really makes it stand out, Death Metal was still in its infantile stages back then with extreme metal\u003cbr\u003emaking a transition between the Crust influenced filth of Hellhammer and the ilk to a more brutal strain with bands like Possessed and Slaughter emerging out of the underground\u003cbr\u003ewith a significantly more potent and brutal form of metal unlike anything heard before, and when you realize it came out at the same time as two monumental releases by the\u003cbr\u003eaforementioned bands you wonder why the fuck it never got quite as much attention as it was just as influential if not more so than those classics.\u003cbr\u003eIf you're one of the unenlightened still wondering who the fuck Death Strike are, 'Fuckin' Death' was essentially just the first Master album under a different moniker, and along\u003cbr\u003ewith Master's debut and 'On the Seventh Day...' are Death Metal classics. The first four tracks as previously mentioned are from 1985 and astonishingly ahead of their time. It's\u003cbr\u003ebasically 'Hellhammer on crack', fast brutal and utterly primal Death Metal with that huge hardcore influence shining through. Paul's vocals are a maniacal and wretched reverbed\u003cbr\u003ehowl that just add to the chaos conjured with Kirk's unbridled leads, the d-beat styled drumming and thundering, bowel shaking bass. Songs like 'Pay to Die' and 'Re-Entry and\u003cbr\u003eDestruction' are impossible not to like, it's extreme metal heaven (or hell, whichever you prefer), straight-forward, catchy and downright punishing.\u003cbr\u003eIt's the lo-fi shoddy execution and production of the whole thing which adds so much character to this release and so many others from the same time frame, a character and feeling\u003cbr\u003ewhich is sadly lost in today's tech and blast obsessed bands. In our books 'Fuckin' Death' is pretty much a classic of primitive Death Metal and when you consider when it originally\u003cbr\u003ewas released that makes it all the more spectacular, and now that it's finally seen a re-release it makes obtaining a copy something that won't cause your bank account to have a fit.\u003cp\u003eThe Truth\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Truth\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMangled Dehumanization\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMangled Dehumanization\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePay to Die\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTerrorizer\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRe-entry and Destruction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePledge of Allegiance\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Final Conflict\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Final Conflict\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMan Killed America \/ Embryonic Misc\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnknown Soldier\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePervert\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRe-entry and Destruction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRemorseless Poison\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCut Thru the Filth\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLive for Free\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrum Solo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Truth\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRemorseless Poison\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePay to Die\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePay to Die\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaster\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChildren of the Grave\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54422452175233,"sku":"1845589","price":15.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/8715392231629.jpg?v=1750681143","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1845589","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
