This is a split of 4 bands from Italy and Brazil, similar in style but still pretty different. The 1st one is a NEW song form Children of Technology (“On the Road Again”), which is the most Motorhead inspired song they recorded so far. You know what to expect! Back to 1980 with full force, with a bottle of Jack Daniel’s in the hand! Lemmy’s spirit is felt in the Rock N’ Rolling riffs, in the monster bass sound and in the charismatic vocals. After having recycled the demo songs, COT are definitely on the road again! Then comes a similar riff to the beginning of Hellhammer’s “The 3rd of the Storms”, from “Frost Doom” by Nuclear Frost, a young Brazilian band. Basically both of their songs here sound like Hellhammer on drugs, with similar primitive songwriting, but with heavy DM growls.

Side B opens with the Brazilian Armagedom’s song “Ricardo Animal”, which sounds like old grindcore a la’ Agathocles. This band exists since 1982 and is worth checking out for the lovers of the genre, but for me it sounds just useless. Last but not least – the Italian Minkions supply a faaaast dose of Thrash/Crossover with killer bass work and cool solos, and I can say that the previous band could learn form them how to make mega-fast music rather interesting than pointless. Although I bought this 7” because of the COT’s song, I’m glad to discover this band and hope to hear more of their stuff in the future.
