This is some top notch,tech savvy and intricate thrash metal that some what borders on death metal. The band were from Poland and should make my friends, "the Krak brothers"(Jason and Jared Krak) quite proud of their Polish heritage. This is the bands second release, and you can tell the music is a bit different from the first record as the band had a line up change, loosing both the singer and bass player. I actually prefer this record to the first, and absolutely love the song "i spit in your face", its seriously so brutal, and makes me want to spit in peoples faces.
I originally got my copy of this record from a friend I grew up with and played music with in Latham NY. Mark S. played bass in Horrid Blessing, and was someone whom I'd discovered, and enjoyed lots of underground metal with in the early to mid 1980's. Mark went on to join the marines, and before he was deployed to the first Gulf war he gave me some of his metal records.
A fond memory I have of Mark is him asking me to go to his recruiters with him before being deployed because he was "nervous". Of course it was sort of a ploy to try an get me to join up with him. I went with my buddy not having any idea he was trying to get me involved. When we got there The recruiter asked me what I did for a living.... I told him I was a plumber. His response was "Nathan, we have plumbing in the marines, I can make you a journeymen in 3 years". My response was simple, "what, digging shit holes to use for toilets in the sand?" The conversation was over.
There is also a Polish version of this record.

Word em up Nate. haven't thought about Dragon in a long time. I really like a lot of the thrash stuff that came outta Poland round '88 - 90 (i.e. Turbo, Wolf spider, Hammer, Astharoth, Alastor, etc). There really was some kinda special sound that seemed to be unique to the Polish scene at that time. Quirky and technical and great.
ReplyDelete"The Last warrior" by Turbo has to be one of my favorite metal tunes of all time. it almost feels like a movie. And the rest of that record isn't too bad either. so epic, yet just completely vicious at the same time. there wasn't enough thrash metal that could be both..
thanks man!
