Sextrash - Sexual Carnage (1990)

With an album cover that would have sent most spotty head-banging teenagers off their rocker, Sextrash barely caused a flutter with their unholy brand of Venom-esque thrash n' roll and looking back it wasn't as bad as I initially thought, in fact this is quite a raw and evil sounding record clearly fuelled by too much beer, porn and denim n' leather. Although the likes of 'Alcoholic Mosh' and 'Seduced by Evil' rattle by like a rusty old tank, there is certainly a groove element which bands of today have been trying replicate rather poorly. One also can't ignore the delightful growls of Pussy Ripper who sadly passed in 1997, but for those of you who want a dirty black thrash attack then this obscurity is worth hunting down. Brazilian brilliance through and through and with a fetid air of the underground about it, one can only choke on the vile glory of 'Genital Tumour' with its ravenous opening riff.
7/10
