Hobbs Angel Of Death - Hobbs Angel Of Death (1988)


Strange band name (named after the band vocalist and guitarist Peter Hobbs), but the music herein is a frenetic thrash work-out worthy of inclusion. Wicked album cover, furious guitar lashes, frantic drumming and a vocal delivery which drops this album deep into the thrash abyss. 'Jack The Ripper', 'Crucifixion' and 'Bubonic Plague' kind of let you know this isn't pansy metal. Alot of Slayer influence in the frenzy, kind of nips at your flesh like a school of piranha, eager to get the message across that this is tortured and tormented music not for the faint hearted. Considered quite a cult act in their homeland (Australia), but their recorded output has resulted in long periods of inactivity.
