Septic Death - Now That I Have Your Attention... (1986)

Typical of its time to some extent, Septic Death's 'Now that...' is a classic mix of punk, hardcore and attitude with a killer snare drum and some dirty grooves to boot. This cult band were fronted by Brian Schroeder, best known as Pushead who not only produced the fantastic sleeve art but also worked designed covers for the likes of Metallica, and the lesser known Kinghorse.

This chaotic little was the first full-length release by the band, featuring such killer cuts as 'Change' with its fuzzoid guitar, the raucous 'Silence' and the hostile 'Terrorain'. Eighteen solid tracks of riotous punk rock, it's an album that's difficult to argue with unless you want to lose all of your teeth.
7/10
