PRIME EVIL demo tape (1987)

4.prime evil

Add this to another of the great NY bands who never released a proper LP. This is the first demo by these truers (they did a total of four tapes), plus a 7" ep (that later came out in 1992). For those who think of metal as sexist, I'd prefer to think of these guys as sexy, as PE had a female bass player. The stuff reeks of a heavy Slayer influence, and is done extremely well. Total balls to the wall thrash/speed metal that is Raw yet tight. Go ahead, count the Slayer riffs, I dare you...they rule.
I got this demo from my buddy Jim MacNaughton whose band Affirmative Action used to play shows with these guys in Middletown NY. I'll put the AA demo up someday.
