Fekkin 'ell I almost forgot how much I love this album!

This is pre-OMNITRON - not quite as experimental as "Masterpeace" so if you had a hard time stomaching that one you should still give "Evilution" a chance. Power/TechnoThrash never got this catchy again. Bucketsfull of riveting riffing (imagine how many riffs you'll fit in a bucket!), haunting & original vocal melodies and a hefty Metallica/Megadeth-influence that actually WORKS. Fave track: "i", one of the CD bonus tracks, not to be confused with the capital letter "I"-track. Beware of goosebumps!

I'm loading it because of the bandname. THE KXLEXLUALEIXK

It's actually a "Swenglish" nonsense word, roughly translated 'The Warheros'. A testimony of their beginnings as a mediocre crossover act.

I remember listening to this when it came out in '89. Wonder if I still like it, might as well give it a spin on the old, eh, harddrive.

Oh yeah! Track i especially has fine "dreamy" sounding riffing first at 1:00. Great song! And quite twisted with those violins.

Otherwise it's a good record, some really good parts, but in general not so really my cup.

Also thanks for the translation

I really enjoyed this record although it's so blatant in how it references stuff like Slayer a few times!

From a fellow CCCP Pok fan to another: Do also get the feeling they sound very "Russian"? In a way I think both "Evilution" and "Masterpeace" have their closest siblings in the OBLACHNYJ KRAJ and VARVAR lps.

Does anyone know if the Masterpeace album was issued on vinyl by CBR ?

Yes it was. It's very common over here, just like the "Evilution" LP.

Thanks Dan. Need to come over again... thanks to my new job I was now 3 times already in Sweden during the past 8 months, but neither in Sthlm nor GBG, so no record-hunting...

By the way: Metal Archives shows this:

Is this a demo-release of The Krixhjälters or a real 7"/12" ?

That's their debut MLP. Pretty crummy Punk/Crossover unfortunately. You can listen to one of the tracks here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kxyv1K_m3Y

'

I definitely agree on the VARVAR part, they have that desperate, depressive thrash touch... but on OBLACHNYJ KRAJ I am not as sure. Will be investigated further
