On the A side, it's the legendary TERRORIZER! Taking us on a tour through their rehearsal space while jamming rough versions of some of their indestructible classics such as "Ripped to Shreds", "Corporation Pull In" and a shortened "After World Obliteration", as well as an obscure one. I suspect that these are rehearsal takes, because the sound is unpolished and somewhat muffled, but it has to be said, for such a primitive take it all sounds very good. The overall sound is perfect for the acquired underground ear. You can clearly hear the well-oiled machine the band was, even back then. Even on these pretty crude and primitive recordings, one can hear the quality at play, with blast beats propelling forth the fluid and grinding and almost punkish guitar riffing delivered with energy and fervor.
After turning the record over to the B side, it's time for that other Oscar Garcia fronted formation, NAUSEA. Dealing out a grinding metal with similar ingredients as TERRORIZER. NAUSEA are raucous hardcore fueled riffing propelled forward by blasting ferocity, with of course again Garcia's gruff growl on top of the cake. We are again treated to rehearsal recordings, and as with the TERRORIZER side, the sound is unpolished and raw, yet with clarity for the acquired ear. Although being a bit sharper in sound, all the instruments can be heard and it's not difficult to get a good picture of the NAUSEA sound. In its totality, NAUSEA has a more hardcore punk vibe to their music than TERRORIZER does, giving the music a more straight forward and gnarly edge. True old school grind core for the fanatic.
