Strappado

A crucial, notoriously filthy precursor to the burgeoning death metal movement, 'Strappado' merges the speed of thrash with the blunt-force aggression of hardcore punk. The Canadian trio utilizes remarkably heavy, downtuned guitars and an incredibly raw, lo-fi production style to deliver brief, hateful blasts of sonic violence. It is an anti-religious, fiercely misanthropic cult classic of extreme metal.
