UPSET NOISE “Nothing More to Be Said” LP
[Originally published: Issue #6, circa 1989]
This is thrash/power metal for those who hate it. You see it is metal (gosh, aren’t labels convenient?!?), but not of the stereotypical variety. Some very good vocals sung by the rough-voiced frontman – no falsetto screams or sick growls here. Also, there are very few guitar solos. (Solos are quite boring unless done extraordinarily well.) Good thrash, good slow parts – no “chuga-chuga” riffing. Nine tracks, one of them in Italian. Not the greatest thing I’ve ever heard, but a thumbs up for originality.
