Suicide Watch – Figure Head Of Pain
Suicide Watch – Figure Head Of Pain (Download) (Moshpit Tragedy)
Finally the wait is over. Britain’s best kept thrash secret has found a way of unleashing its sophomore album. Albeit a pure and uncut old school metal band, for now ‘Figure Head…’ will only be available as a download through the kind people of Moshpit Tragedy records. The good thing though,is you’ll get a good quality download, all the lyrics and artwork. So with a bit of DIY effort you can create your own Suicide Watch CD. Funny how the cover of the Cro Mags tribute cd ‘Ushering in a New Age of Quarrel’ gets a second life. SW bass player Ian must have had the art work lying around after he quit Black Fish Records. It does fit the music, so it’s rather well chosen. Speaking of music; more old school thrash than you and your headbanging buddies can handle. Lightning fast, aggressive, insane; all the ingredients that good thrash needs. I honestly think however, that the grunts that pop up in ‘This Cursed Earth’ don’t really fit the music very well. Still as it’s not used that often and doesn;t take anything away from the lethal energy of this hardcore version of an old school Testament / SOD / DRI / Send More Paramedics mix.
