about

ANTI-GOTH 677

With this installment in its Eastern Bloc Obscurities Series, Nuclear War Now! resuscitates Aspid's (Аспид) first and only album, "Effusion of Blood" ("Кровоизлияние"). Originally released in a pressing of 1000 vinyl LP copies on the Latvian label Ritonis in 1993, this masterpiece of Russian dirty technical thrash never received the level of exposure that would have elevated the band to the status of upper-tier thrash that it clearly deserves. On the other hand, those who have explored deeper than the surface of Eastern Bloc extreme metal have granted it the cult status that more than merits this reissue. "Effusion of Blood" moves from the ominous, two-minute-plus instrumental intro, performed by vocalist Vitaliy Kholopov on a Roland-W30, into some of the most evil, technical thrash ever recorded. Steeped in precision riffs and unconventional time signatures, the album showcases the skillful fretboard mastery of Aleksander Sidorchik throughout, ending with the instrumental title track, which clocks in at over eight minutes in length and also demonstrates Sidorchik's versatility in a variety of performance contexts. Given that copies of the original pressing typically fetch around three hundred dollars each, NWN! has rightfully seen fit to finally make it available to the masses.

Coagulating Darkness

Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album. Odiumediae

This album changed my life. It shaped my tastes in so many ways, and not least of which by helping to set me straight on punk. I didn't even know about d-beat in my teens, and this was the first album I heard that featured it right in your fucking face. I was also in the process of leaving my hometown; deciding where to go, what to do. It helped me make the right decision. What else can be said about this thing; I always knew it was one for the long haul. I'm forever grateful to this band. Absolute Zero

Probably the greatest metal album of the 1980s. It's pure perfection. Peerless songwriting. Dan Hébert
