Another gloriously forgotten thrash effort from '86, Carrion were one of goodness knows how many bands to adopt this moniker. Their brand of dry thrash was music to my ears back in the '80s although only by way of a magical compilation which I've completely forgotten the name of. Sadly this was the only album this Swiss band made, but it was full of cool catchy riffs, dry raspy vocals and some fantastic solos from the off. There was always an air of menace about this record with opener 'Shark Attack' getting its fangs in early with those sneering vocals of V.O. Pulver, and 'Antichrist' is delivered with even more cutting edge aplomb. A really good record this one, the band of course responsible for the Poltergeist line-up too who were also a cool, underrated thrash act.
7/10
