Angel Witch released a live disc from '82 with an unreleased EP tacked on at the end. Huh. Nifty.

Skatenigs....... WOW, now THIS took a moment to register. Hard band to describe, sort of a joke band mixing bad 90s metal trappings, such as sampling and rapping, with ridiculous OTT lyrics. Maybe like BUTT TRUMPET if they were a Crossover Thrash band? If anyone remembers BUTT TRUMPET, I'm both impressed and feel sorry for you
Anyway, Skatenigs' 'Stupid People Shouldn't Breed' is a great album title, and tracks like 'Horny for Evil' are still good, friendly, braindead fun to play extremely loudly when you want to feel like a 14-year old prat all over again. If this had come out a bit later, when nu metal was all the rage, these guys might have been a thing, though I'm not sure any of their songs could ever have been played on the air.

I don't remember buying it or whatever. I also completely forgot I bought recent US Metal releases from Trauma and Ruthless. Was quite surprised to see them there on the shelf.

Skatenigs: I remember when debut came out they were hailed as ultimate crossover stuff. Industrialthrashcorefunkmetaltechno whatnot, or so went the initial description in one of the more important national music magazines. However, mag ddidn't mentioned they were related to Revolting Cocks, which were quite hyped around the same time. Of corpse, later came bands that have mix even more different ingredients into their ideal recipes, Waltari being one of them. 1992 - nice year overall.

Around the same time i also enjoyed INFECTIOUS GROOVES a lot with Mike Muir. I only have their first two records. That's enough for me. Should check them out again someday and check if i enjoy them as much as back then.

Noisenik wrote:Ya know that, Zanker, that I liked them, too. I highly regarded Rob's playing. Should still do. Haven't listen to them for eternity. I know first three albums. The fourth I missed completely.

I found myself in much the same place as you Zanker. Exploring other styles in search of those musical thrills that seemed to be in short supply in the Metal world at the time. Am i the only forum member who didn't hate so-called 'grunge'?

I grew up with grunge. "Superunknown" might be the best album ever to come out of the 90's. And grunge deserves a reward for killing the glam metal wave of the late 80's.
