Was it really that long ago??
My first in...1989?? Was it really that long ago?? <br /><br />My first introduction to Redrum was a brief blurb about new and upcoming American bands in Terrorizer magazine. There was a photo of the band (easily found online) holding skateboards, dressed kind of like Suicidal & Anthrax, and one of the skateboards had the slayer logo on it. About a month or so later I saw the Power Corrupts record in a shop but it was an import and was priced way out of my league. Had it not been so expensive I think I would have bought it based solely on the look of the band. It remained in the import section along with the likes of School of Violence and INC, until one day it disappeared. <br /><br />Fast forward to the days of the internet and I finally got to listen to Redrum. It's definitely "of it's time", sounds very American, and a better production would not have gone amiss. I suppose the fact they only recorded one album speaks volumes about their place in an already crowded sea of second tier thrash bands. But still, I like it!! kevshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11745007553421646144noreply@blogger.com
