Demented Are Go

Psychotic Mutilation   limited edition picture disc

(Sunny Bastards)

Just months past, Psychotic Mutilation's CD incarnation rose from the tilted table. And from flat skull top to worm-bitten creepers, it emanated ineffable menace. A graphic 12" embodiment now lurks amongst racks. DAG's infamy as brutalistic violators of ice-boned essence (sharing a wall with P. Paul's rancid cell) was stoutly earned. All songs spin, hack, hector, and guffaw maniacally. Some 14 years have transpired since Welcome Back To Insanity Hall deflowered turntables. But anyone venturing speculation that passing times may have diminished DAG's crazily hopping ferocity needs to hear this at highest volume; the folly of their imagining will immediately become manifest.

The vinyl, which contains "unknown extra tracks," is available in mortuary black and a smattering of more vivid tints. Too, a poster shadows along.

Recommended: "Black Valium," "Out of Reach," "Spoonful," "Chasing Rainbows," "Mr Pharmacist," "Cast a Lonesome Shadow," "Guillotine," "Nasty Cindy," "Don't Take Me Back," "Strange Times," "Wandering Hobo Blues," "Dismembered Hand," "Long Distance Transcontinental"

No Glory   vinyl LP or CD

(Sunny Bastards)

Credit is due these Swedish spark plugs for both witty songcraft mindful of melody, and their sure-handed governance of gingery rollick. Though the union of organic hooks and brawn is one not easily realized, it glories in its culmination, here. ("The beast with two backs," as scrawled the Avon icon.) One appreciates that oversight of firepower-at-hand makes for redoubled effectiveness. "I can't never, ever, live one more day / Without Punk Rock in my life I won't stay!" Testify, brethren.

Recommended: "Wild Young and Free," "Boys in Blue," "Broken Dreams," "Born a Loser," "Run Away," "Raise Your Voice," "No Glory," "Pint of Beer," "One More Day"

Liminal State

(Sunny Bastards)

Thrash results from members' refusal to surrender to genre bondage. Tension tittilates. At first blush, it is face-slapping Punk that seizes ears and brains. But throughout, art-rock and indie/alternative tics are also accorded real estate. Their inclusion, and the judicious song architecture that melds components, generate a creation that gladdens just as it assumes shelf space.

Recommended: "I Can Feel Later," "Blood on My Hands," "Sleep is For the Poor,"  "Nightcrawler," "The Freaks," "Revolución de las Vaca," "It's Alright," "Damaged One"

Razas De Noche

(Sunny Bastards)

This is the stuff - Psycho en Espanol that wallows exultantly in its 1990s aspect, while throwing freshness at your head. Directed through perpetrations by a toothsome vamp, whose sirenings overwhelm with barbed allure, is a three-warrior wrecking machine as fearsome as it is tightly wound. Most likely to be located either beckoning wayward club patrons, or doing Tasmanian crash/bounces in marble-orchard rubber rooms. 

Recommended: "Santa Carla," "Bloody," "Demonio Nekrofago," "Nekromantikos"

Psychotic Mutilation

(Sunny Bastards)

Since DAG's infamy as brutalistic violators of ice- boned essence (sharing a wall with P. Paul's rancid cell) is stoutly earned, it hardly shocks that no substandard sprees loom. To a man, all songs spin, hack, hector, and guffaw maniacally. Some 14 years have transpired since Welcome Back To Insanity Hall deflowered turntables. But anyone venturing passing times may have diminished DAG's crazily hopping ferocity needs the boot. Repeatedly.

Recommended: "Black Valium," "Out of Reach," "Spoonful," "Chasing Rainbows," "Mr Pharmacist," "Cast a Lonesome Shadow," "Guillotine," "Nasty Cindy," "Don't Take Me Back," "Strange Times," "Wandering Hobo Blues," "Dismembered Hand," "Long Distance Transcontinental"
