I admit that I originally bought both Bloodcum records due to them supposedly being the little brothers of Slayer's Jeff Hanneman and Tom Araya. This in fact turned out to be half true, as Tom's Brother John played in Bloodcum. The dude who shared Jeff's last name was just a weird coincidence with no relation. I guess back in the 80's I was also attracted to offensive band names. People are always comparing these guys to the likes of DRI, Cryptic Slaughter, and other crossover bands. I've never gotten that one, the band is pretty much straight up thrash/speed metal. The songs have more of a fast Slayer vibe over anything else (solo's and all). The lyrics are pretty stupid thats for sure, bordering on childish. Who cares though, right? I gave up on lyrics well over a decade ago.
The only bummer about this record is the mastering/mix job, the rest is righteous. Comment if you download please, metalheads are slackers I know.

Uau!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for this one and the others!
If the "half truth" is true it will kick ass for sure.
cheers from Switzerland!
Ah yes I fell for the Araya/Hanneman story as well when I bought this fresh out of high school! I too agree with the Cryptic/DRI comparison.....HUH WTF! Thanks for all your killer posts!
ReplyDeletethanks man! your blog is my favorite on the web. I appreciate the metal
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to hear this for ages. This is a truly fabled band. Kind of seems like a much more speed metalled out Attitude Adjustment to me. Aside from the eight grader on one-to-many pixie stix style lyrics, this is great. I love the shitty production.
ReplyDeleteDo you have any Soothsayer (Canada) stuff?
I nevr got to hear this one, I saw ads for it in alot of zines but did I buy it? No,
ReplyDeleteThanks alot
Hmmm...Attitude Adjustment? I wish, they are totally one of my favs.
ReplyDeletebloodcum were a five piece when they recorded this LP. by the time the record came out they were a 3 piece, and were crediting so and so "homo" on drums, etc.

Kick ass thrash man. Thanks for putting this one up!
ReplyDeleteyea, they were pretty average, even at the time.
ReplyDeleteit's not bad, though
what an ugly cover, haha, i guess it was a requirement for putting out LPs on Wild Rags, it had to be a crappy cover art
mat
i had this 'back in the day, and my album cover was camoflauge(sp)
ReplyDeleteyeah lame ass lyrics, but so what , when your hpped up on beer an pot who cares,

Pretty awesome album. I actually really enjoyed the lyrics, particularly on the title track. Awesome blog, I've gotten some good stuff off here!
ReplyDeleteNano
ReplyDeletethat record you had was the bootcamp record. It was the demo I believe.
I'm listening to Zoetrope's "crime" lp right now. I think that will go up...
Nate/gloom
Thanks! Great stuff! Death by a Clothes Hanger (the song) sounds like a Slayer/Suicidal Tendencies cross.
ReplyDeleteJust found your site, really like what you've been putting up, and your comments. You're my fave since somethingilearnedtoday shut down. And you're more metal. I'm also looking for someone posting metalcore and grindcore, if you know any good links!
The lyrics were spot on for me in 1988, I wasnt a psycopath, i wasnt sick, i wasnt crazy, etc....
ReplyDeletesilly as hell now, tho. Thanks for dredging this up.
Been trying since last night to write a retraction. I've looked deeper on this site, found the Nausea, Neurosis, Prime Evil, Atavistic, and of course Fear of God! Awesome stuff, can't say enough to appreciate you!
ReplyDeleteI remember one of the better local record shops promoting this as being Slayer's brothers. Been after this for a while.
ReplyDeleteIm one of the orginal guitarist for Blodcum we still jam here and there the new music is great, modern heavy its all fun:::love the great feedback here...great to hear people wanna t hear about roots n shit ....we were there for all the Slayer beginnings:::we are gonna write a book and let all y'all know how it really went down ::: we have all the real dirt!!! we saw the birth of all those great songs and how they were made, they were our greatest mentors, so when people compare us to them its the greatest compliment...they showed us how to write metal if any band was gonna be critized for sounding like slayer ::well "fuck" sure it was us we came outta the same garage what do u expect:::we are are proud of thier success and hold the Slayer flag high!! sure our stuff was goofy but it was always meant to be goofy producing an album was never supposed to happen ...shit we didnt even own equipment,,,the music on death by a clotheshanger was made with same guitar equipmest Slayer used for Hell Awaits:::they pretty much encouraged us to make it:::we continue to jam purely for shits n giggles and when Slayer comes to town we raise our beers high and are extremely proud that we had a small part in thier success!! (((long live Javier Araya)))) go!!! Thine Eyes Bleed!!!!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the downloads,I downloaded Satan's Court in the Act too because every member of Cannabis Corpse told me to last night,so,I did,and found some other sweet albums.Thanks!

ReplyDeleteHavent heard this since '89, I actually forgot they existed. Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteMeh...the lyrics aren't so bad. It may be somewhat childish but at least it's PISSED!
