NUM SKULL "Nuke The World" tape
[Originally published: Issue #5, circa 1988]
Even though this is an independent tape, I chose not to put it in with the demos because of its high production quality and packaging. This Chicago based band (Eric Seiller on guitar, Dave Fuller on bass, Tom Brandner on guitar, Skip McGullam on vocals, and Jeff McGullam on drums) plays EXODUS-like thrash with hints of slower, power metal. Nothing of lyrical value - same old gore and death nonsense (horror lyrics CAN be done well, just ask the SERIAL KILLERS). But the music is played quite well. If you're into thrash metal, this is for you. 8 songs (35 minutes) with lyrics.
