Whiplash – Unborn Again — Pulverized, 2009

Three piece thrash outfit from New Jersey returns with this barnburner. In your face guitar riffage, pummeling drum beats, and punishing bass lines feature prominently on this record. These guys have been making audiences sweat it out since the 1980's-so you know they can deliver the goods. "Firewater" turns up the heat with a Black Sabbath type dirge that rocks with purpose. "Hook In Mouth" channels the ferocity of Motorhead with reckless abandon and gets results. There's even a Montrose cover on here so you know these dudes know their roots. If you like it loud, fast, and sweaty, Whiplash has a full body cast available in your size today.

Looking at Li's website you can find numerous instances that inspired him to settle down and start improvising, drawing energy from the surroundings. The music … Read more

Some reviews are written after years of listening to a band and knowing nearly everything about them. Sometimes I listen to a record on repeat for weeks before I even look up the correct song titles – Deseos Primitivos (Primitive Desires) is the latter. This promo came to SPB as literally a one sentence quote about the band and its … Read more
