Explosión Metálica LP 1988

1. APOCALIPSIS - Piloto Infernal
   A cool, straight-forward pounding Metal tune that serves as a great opener for a comp like this, but remains one of its less memorable tracks.
2. BESTIAL INVASION - Exiliado De Sodoma
   Demo-level Thrash that wants to be Slayer but not really succeeding in that cool way that other demo/comp acts does...
3. PUÑO DE HIERRO - Caballero Tigre
   A lovely, lo-fi, good-murky mix elevates this sweet & obscure HM tune into one of the best offerings of the LP, similar to ultra-obscure NWOBHM like Valkyrie or Sacred Alien.
4. SACRILEGIO - Entes De La Maldad
   Confusing, chaotic fast Metal that's still really not Thrash and I honestly can't make heads or tails of it. Very Exotic indeed but not really in a good way.
5. AUSTER - Hombre De Metal
   Hell yeah! Lo-fi but great PowerSpeed in the early Agent Steel or Satan's Host way. An absolute shame that we never got to hear more of this band...

1. PUÑO DE HIERRO - Bonokor (La Justicia Divina)
   Rumbling, start/stop Thrash-light. The heavy parts are enjoyable, but generally not memorable in any shape or form.
2. SACRILEGIO - Robot
   Continued chaos, but it works better on this track and I sorta enjoy their Speed Metal-hysteria here way more than on their disapponting 1991 MLP.
3. APOCALIPSIS - Siente El Rock
   One of the most enticing and energetic tracks on the LP, thanx to the main riffing that's a really cool Metalrock vehicle of semi-NWOBHM punch.
4. AUSTER - Hey, Hey (Ya Es Tiempo)
   Yeah, this band is the coolest discovery of the comp for sure. Very classy, fist-held-high Steel that will make Vicious Rumours and Liege Lord fans smile.
5. BESTIAL INVASION - En Las Sombras
   Primive Thrash of the sort we sometimes like to label "proto-Death" and it's neat in a Destruction-meets-Devastation way but obviously not THAT special..
