Review:

With tracks around the two minute mark from both bands I was not expecting a prog rock release with a sci-fi story line. It turns out that I was right not to expect that. Panzerbastard from Boston play fast and furious thrash/hardcore/punk. No messing about, the band sound like Motorhead crossed with Agnostic Front- just hear “Death Control” for proof. It is loud, fast and raw. Their three tracks speed by in a blur of anger- great stuff. Sweden's Rawhide also put the pedal to the metal, but by way of Motorhead crossed with, perhaps, Social Distortion. “Devil's Grip” is a great track and the longest song on this split 7” with a bluesy solo too. Simply put, this is hugely enjoyable and gave me what I like: loud and fast street rock n roll. Excellent.
