Victimizer - Rapid Thrashing Violence
March 23 2008 at 09:52:47 AM

Victimizer’s latest Thrash-attacking, B-movie ejaculation offers three new tracks suped up and slathered with samples from
Return of The Living Dead and
Running Man (RIP Professor Toru "Plain Zero" Tanaka), with a bonus cover of "Evil Has No Boundaries"—and if you don't know who that is, just skip this altogether. As you may have guessed, Rapid Thrashing Violence leaves no room for uncertainty; the kind of music that feels sinful as a child and completely stupid later in life. Stupid, but inspired; after listening to the barrage of "Hell Made Metal," "Victimizing Blitzkrieg" and "Hell Whore"—each blasted from the lungs of what might literally be one of Cronos' thousand bastard sons, you'll wish the disc came inside its own custom slab of brick for later mischief.
Each track rushes into such glorious, bottom-feeding lunacy, thug metal spouting feral, asinine and plain ugly shit; total trash like: "Hell made metal, and it tamed the beast. Metal made me, to say the least…Crushing all in heaven with my guitar strings-ugh!" Victimizer pursues all this without shame and still manage to pull off the joy and humor of it all. For that, it’s worth a few spins. So, shoulder your guilt, indulge and don't forget your switchblade. Out on 7" and CD.
