The Gasölines

Helldorado

(Speed Club Records)


A reviewer at Germany's Zepher's Odem wrote: "As the band themselves announced, they hadn't intended to create anything innovative. They simply plugged in, cranked up the amps, and played Rock'n'Roll. Loud, dirty, and exhilarating." Nowhere is it scrawled that music must turn virgin sod in order to merit moon-bathed bacchanalia. New wrinkles can certainly be intriguing. But much can be said for knowing what lies ahead. Health care personnel do not recommend this Norwegian Punk-packed Metal for the timid - one reason is that it may well blow innocent ears to shrapnel. Were the PMRC yet in operation, they'd have contrived a warning label by now. Comes in digital, CD, and variously-hued vinyl formats. 

Recommended: "Riding Shotgun," "Dead Man's Hand," "Bucking the Tiger," "Ace in the Hole," "Death Rider," "A-Bomb Pinup," "Speed Trap"

Videos: "Riding Shotgun"   "Ace in the Hole"   "A-Bomb Pinup"   "Speed Trap"
