i dont think anything the band has done is impressive tbh.

Fan of grindcore?

Scum pretty much completely sucks too.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

I like some grindcore. I dig Phobia, Antigama, Wormrot, Insect Warfare and a few others. More of a deathgrind guy

I wanted to put Iced Earth up, but they really didn't hit their stride until the following album.

Piece of Time first came out in '89 so i think you can squeeze that Iced Earth album in there if you want. Not sure if it was the right move since it was a test pressing but i mentioned it in my first post so im guessing thats why most people didnt include it in their lists.

What do you guys say, should we include it here? I think maybe we should since it wasn't officially released until January 1990

 

[CiG]

Wiki says it was released in Europe in 1989, but is that just a reference to a test pressing?
