HANK III
Damn Right Rebel Proud

Fuckin’ first time I heard of HANK III was via the liner notes of a SUPERJOINT RITUAL record a long while back. He was the bass player.

Bout a year er so back I found myself completely aligned with this fuckers music…the songs on the album Straight to Hell spoke to me like a smash to the skull. Lowdown, Pills I Took, Country Heroes, god damn man…this is country music…fuckin’ country music! REAL AMERICAN REBEL FUCK OFF DIRGES…. not the shit on the BAD COUNTRY radio…his songs of truth speak of real life trials with honest, raw, fuck-it-all attitude. And the songs are masterfully played…a few tweaks and this is death metal…in other words…masterful hymns…his DAMN BAND fucking rules.

BLASPHEMOUS CREATION – Black Winter – Music Review

“Black Winter” is the second offering of creeping hellfire from the Nevada thrashers BLASPHEMOUS CREATION. Picking up in fine fashion where the debut “Rest in Pieces” left off, this is more heavily German influenced blackthrash with a slightly elevated black metal stance than before.

SORROW ‘Forgotten Sunrise’ – Music Review

“We regret that this had to be a mini-LP, but Andy was involved in an unfortunate accident and was unable to go into the studio with us to record additional tracks. Fortunately, he is making a full recovery and will be able to record a full length album for 1992. Our deepest sympathy goes out to the friends and family of Lisa Thompson who was not as fortunate and Andy. We should all recognize the frailty of life and fight to preserve it, not destroy it”
