This anniversary edition of The Vandals’ first record with the current line-up contains three bonus tracks and the out-of-print recording of “Shi’ite Punk.”
Like Celtic Frost did on Into the Pandemonium, Peccatum accomplish the same eerie vibe, throwing in some blasting black metal riffs to add to the confusion.
Keeping it short, ear to the ground, logical, almost compact and punky, within the golden-handcuffed confines of the tin-foil-on-a-filling Pantera screech.
Part streetpunk, part gutsy rock’n’roll. Engineered by Kevin Army, produced by Billy Joe Armstrong: Guts’n’glory that ain’t all scrubbed clean of the burrs.
