G.I.S.M. - Military Affairs Neurotic (Beast Arts 1987, Japan)
"It's
been quite a while since Detestation came out, so when Irecieved this second GISM
LP entitled M.A.N. (Military Affairs Neurotic) , I was quite thrilled. But at
first listen I realized a change had taken place. Not a bad change, it just takes
you by surprise at first. And once you catch your breath, this is perhaps one
of the strongest, most unique metal LPs of 1987. Randy's guitar works rings of
Iron Maiden riffs and the sound pounds loudly. But when Sakevi's voice eneters
the picture, you know this is different. And from the sonic shills running down
your spine and the smile on your face, you know this attacks harshly. Intense
lyrical structures smash you in the face in this uncommom metal composition. After
the first two tracks, "Start to Forget" enters in an industrial vein
which is not annoying. Then "Nations Prosperity" charges in the first
GISM LP tradition - all the speed and growling drive you mad. This is great! No
band does what GISM does or shocks like GISM can. That kind of brillance people
call insane."
