I saw Shihad supporting The Angels in 1990 at Logan Campbell bomb shelter in Auckland. I thought they were awesome and wanted to get this EP. The following week, my light fingered friend from school pinched this from Kmart for me.
Well I’ve never seen the fear disappear From the eyes of men If there was peace Will it ever come again I’ve never seen such apathy As I have seen it now But if we don't stop soon We'll never know just how The watcher still can't see His own reality The faces never show But I know they know Just what they’re not fighting for They know It can't exist if it can't be seen An attitude not so rare But if it don't change It'll leave our world bare Bare of fundamental life We're starting to devolve But if we just cared Our problems could be solved We're at the Down Dance Our descent goes on and on and on We got one last chance To start a new way of life Improvising the same steps You dance through life like a parody Caring for nothing and no-one but you But what if the earth were to crumble Now wouldn't that be a tragedy Why can't you understand That if it goes, you’ll go too Don’t give up on this world The answer lies within your heart The line on which it’s been hurled Will slowly tear your life apart Deviate Deviate it's course Avoid the tragedy
Yes I love this sound too by them. Sounds like an updated version of both Metallica and Slayer but with more melodic singing. Hail kiwi thrash at its finest \m/
The Leper, the Dead Boys I got you running scared Creatures so gruesome Straight from your worst nightmares You exist for me For me and no-one else You are my flock I'll meet you at the slaughterhouse You defeated me once but not again Remember you were only children Now your minds have grown old You cannot accept me And this time round I'll champion because I am It I am infinity I am It I am all I'll take your fucking lives But it's your soul I feed on Cause I am It The principle is still the same It's me who's after you Don’t kid yourself, you cannot win There's nothing you can do 47 years have passed I'm the one you all despise Death, destruction Say hello to Pennywise Don't scream for help The reaper's on my side You play the game of ritual My laws you abide The locking of tongues Your blood runs down my chin Take one last look around you Before I suck you in
how is hamish better then karl? I mean Karl joined just after the rerelease of this and hamish was only in the band for like 2 and a bit years and wasn't even an original member!
The first album, kick ass thrash metal. Sounded like metallica crossed with faith no more with a bit of anthrax blended in. Cool old school thrash . Black sabbath cover. Shredded solos like Dani Spitz from anthrax.🤘😎👍
The tour for this Jon used to say “A little bit of Black Sabbath” and would do the song N.I.B. I have an old bootleg of 1 of the shows from back then somewhere.

still one of my favourite albums of all time 😎
Goes on n on.
Love that old stuff fullas. Thanks
Well I’ve never seen the fear disappear
From the eyes of men
If there was peace
Will it ever come again
I’ve never seen such apathy
As I have seen it now
But if we don't stop soon
We'll never know just how
The watcher still can't see
His own reality
The faces never show
But I know they know
Just what they’re not fighting for
They know
It can't exist if it can't be seen
An attitude not so rare
But if it don't change
It'll leave our world bare
Bare of fundamental life
We're starting to devolve
But if we just cared
Our problems could be solved
We're at the Down Dance
Our descent goes on and on and on
We got one last chance
To start a new way of life
Improvising the same steps
You dance through life like a parody
Caring for nothing and no-one but you
But what if the earth were to crumble
Now wouldn't that be a tragedy
Why can't you understand
That if it goes, you’ll go too
Don’t give up on this world
The answer lies within your heart
The line on which it’s been hurled
Will slowly tear your life apart
Deviate
Deviate it's course
Avoid the tragedy
This was an awesome sound and I wish they stayed this heavy. BUt going pop proved successful so good on them for earning money
Yes I love this sound too by them. Sounds like an updated version of both Metallica and Slayer but with more melodic singing. Hail kiwi thrash at its finest \m/
Yeah once the made the fish album they were never the same hey? 😢
Were on a down dance!
I am all! Nice
I wish they'd done a straight up thrash album along these lines before recording Churn.
The Leper, the Dead Boys
I got you running scared
Creatures so gruesome
Straight from your worst nightmares
You exist for me
For me and no-one else
You are my flock
I'll meet you at the slaughterhouse
You defeated me once but not again
Remember you were only children
Now your minds have grown old
You cannot accept me
And this time round I'll champion because
I am It
I am infinity
I am It
I am all
I'll take your fucking lives
But it's your soul I feed on
Cause I am It
The principle is still the same
It's me who's after you
Don’t kid yourself, you cannot win
There's nothing you can do
47 years have passed
I'm the one you all despise
Death, destruction
Say hello to Pennywise
Don't scream for help
The reaper's on my side
You play the game of ritual
My laws you abide
The locking of tongues
Your blood runs down my chin
Take one last look around you
Before I suck you in
Yes.
Fuck yeah! Back in the day when Hamish was around!
how is hamish better then karl? I mean Karl joined just after the rerelease of this and hamish was only in the band for like 2 and a bit years and wasn't even an original member!
