PRIMAL SCREAM • Volume One LP

Sunday, August 8, 2010

Mercenary Records 1987
Wow! I had no idea this was gonna kick so much ass! I saw PRIMAL SCREAM around the time this record was released and they failed to make an impression... so I'm very surprised by the quality, musicianship, and songwriting found on Volume One. At times I hear touches of East coast heavyweights WARGASM, AT WAR, and WHIPLASH in PRIMAL SCREAM's sound, but they are in no way derivative or unoriginal, just equally as talented and intense. Unlike many Thrash bands of the time, PRIMAL SCREAM offer more than just yer typical speed and aggression by incorporating classic Metal elements (sporadic "clean" vocals and catchy riffs) and some straight-up Rock guitar playing here and there. Top notch!

The face on the left looks like an American Idol cast-off. Otherwise, good stuff.

Ha! Not sure who you're referring to, but it reminds me of the BRUTAL TRUTH Sounds Of The Animal Kingdom cover... 'cept way shittier. Maybe like the artist's mock up, or rough sketch, of what the BRUTAL TRUTH cover would be.

Maybe I seen them play at The Concert Hall on one of the huge all day metalfest gigs the Rays put on.
Thought they were good.
