Swamp Terrorists - Grow-Speed-Injection (1992)


More '80s thrash riffs are recycled by the Terrorists, whose second album follows on in the same vein as the excellent debut, 'Grim Stroke Disease'. As usual the samples from horror movies are in abundance among the peculiar industrial beats and dance rhythms, and vocally it's Lemmy resurrected as some cyber-void, snarling, spitting and sneering over the soundtrack. Compelling listening for those into the warped world of avant-garde industrial music but for metal fans this may be just a little too diverse, a weird journey into unhinged disco, hideous electro and sinister sampling. The artists, programmer STR and vocalist Ane H are talented individuals who compile a bizarre collection of demented beats and grinding guitars, but such expression is an acquired taste.

7/10
