Love the album title, and, as psychotic as it is to admit, I love this horrendous-sounding collection of demos and rehearsals from Brazil's Insulter, the latest in a startlingly long line of first-wave Brazilian extreme metal bands getting some late-life/after-life love (see: Sarcófago, Vulcano, Sextrash). And while there are few on the face of this planet who understand the importance of reissuing extremity like this to keep the memories alive, and while I respect the hell out of the labels who do so (Nuclear War Now! HQ must be a crazy, crazy place), I do recognize that this is just hard to listen to, even for a hardened extreme-metal-lovin' weirdo like me. 

But respect where it's due: this is very extreme stuff for 1986 and '87, Insulter the horrible underbelly of the most extreme bands that had come around before them, "songs" like "Sacrifice" so extreme it's fascinating to imagine, if not necessarily a whole lot of fun to listen to unless you're really, really hardcore about this kinda thing. Imagine tape-deck-quality Hellhammer rehearsal tapes playing at the same time as Beherit bootlegs over top of the sound of your significant other barking at you for your crap taste in music and you're getting there. Eventually, it just all turns to background vomit as you, unsuccessfully, try to get on with your day. Man, I love the fact that this band existed back then playing music this heavy, and I love that labels reissue this stuff, but this is really a tough slog (which, confusingly, is also part of the charm). Rating, which oscillated between a 6.0 and a 7.0 during various airings of this disc, symbolizes my confusion, pleasure, and difficulty with the whole thing.
