Virus - Force Recon (1988)


Uk hardcore thrash, included because I was mesmerised by the cover artwork. What lies within isn't too disappointing either, albeit rather basic. Eight tracks on offer, 'Testify To Me' and the slow chug of the title cut provides enough basement quality for any mullet-headed teenager. All kind of rushes past without getting its hooks into you but as a young metaller, it was this kind of record that made vinyl collection's more noteworthy. Unless of course you spent your time buying bog standard metal available in every store. picking up 'Force Recon' is one of those guilty pleasures, because you know it's not gonna be great to listen to, but no-one else at the time locally would've had the balls to buy it...
