(Subcore Records - 1986)Hey, this is more like it. If you've never heard the Accused before, you're missing some crazy crap. You've also got at least one thing in common with probably 98% of the population or so too, so you've got plenty going for you at this stage in the game. But I digress. Basically take thrash metal, mix some punk in there somewhere, speed it up, make it go totally crazy, and add a dude that totally sounds like a somewhat higher-pitched Tasmanian Devil. (You know, from the cartoons, not the actual animal, you dolts.) Then, feed the Tasmanian Devil guy meth until he starts seeing things. Bad things. This is what the Accused call "Splatter Rock." And it is good. I should mention that the production value kind of sucks, (and judging by the hisses and pops on my illegally downloaded copy, I'm not sure if it was ever released on CD) but a band as crazy as this almost seems to use something like that to their advantage. Horror movies with slick, high-budget production values tend to suck compared to the low-dollar ones, so why should a musical horror movie be any different?
