Bloodlust - Terminal Velocity (1988)

This is an EP from the Californian thrashers, and a barn-stormer of a release it was - featuring just four tracks, and running for under 20 minutes, this was a real slab of beefy, often speedy thrash with Steve Gaines at the vocal helm spewing out the lyrics in classic thrash style. Several line-up changes from the 1985 debut but this still makes for a frothing lesson as the likes of 'City of the Forgotten' zip by with razor precision. Not overly original, but thick in its sound and catchy too just a shame this was the last musical composition the guys put out. A real cult thrash gem.
7.5/10
