Back in the Day, 2009

Bone Rattlers

13 to Life

(Self-issued)



Historians recount that crazed Berserkers of the Olde Icelandic Age, once their battle foes had been brutally ripped to fleshy shreds and otherwise smashed from this coil, were given to turning on each other. And contemporarily popular suspicions are that the indiscriminately violent savages were likely hopped up on brain-wrenching, aggression-inducing henbane. Perhaps. So uncompromising are the song constructions and bash-with-200-pound-sledge performances on 13 to Life, it would have made fitting soundtrack for countryside carnage. This is the second of two discs (that I know of) released by the Australian knuckle-drivers. There should have been more. Berserkers would raise ales.

Recommended: "13 Nights," "Psychobilly Boogie," "12 Bar Bruise.," "Friday," "Nightmares," "Time to Kill," "Crazy," "Lock and Load," "Dead Men Rockin," "Dragstrip Queen," "Bone Rattlin'"

Videos: "12 Bar Bruise"   "Crazy"   "Dead Men Rockin;'"   "Bone Rattlin'" (live Greazefest 2008)
