Hyster'iah G.B.C. - Snakeworld (1991)

This Swedish bunch probably qualify for one of the world's worst band names and yet musically this is quite a punchy thrash affair, and I didn't expect it. Hyster'iah G.B.C. remind me at times of Suicidal Tendencies with those choppy rasps and sneers and dense crossover riffs. It's the sort of bruising thrash you'd expect from New York such is its skatecore appeal - but one sniff of 'How Does It Feel' or 'Rope for Rape' won't have you dreaming of Scandinavian fjords! A relatively short record, it's an obscurity worth checking out if you can find it anywhere. Sorry but I know so little about this band but they do thrash hard. Strange cover and album title too!
7/10
