I own all the D.R.I. records (except that Full Speed Ahead travesty) as all good punkers should, but I certainly don’t need 37 covers of gurgled nonsense.
Quality is high, unknowns Mystic Force and Psycho Scream doing well, bigshots like Deceased and Memory Garden get the nod. Soilwork whip “Egypt” into a frenzy.
King Fowley found a way to deliver horror stories without lapsing into comic book Rob Zombie-isms. There’s a trace of camp, but he smothers it in hot asphalt.
