Terrorama - Horrid Efface
2004 Nuclear War Now

Scoot's Review:
Sweden's Terrorama comes out with guns blazing and distortion wailing on their debut lp, sounding like a louder, harsher "Ride The Lightning" with gravelly black metal vocals.  Refreshing for the brevity of song lengths and general scarcity of solos and other frills.  They do throw in some cool intros and sensible tempo changes to keep the overall package fresh.  These guys fit perfectly with the new crop of modern bands, like Toxic Holocaust and Nocturnal, who play what is essentially traditional thrash metal.  A fine album that will sound like a forgotten old favorite on its first spin.  Unfortunately, a somewhat homogenous sound keeps this from being an instant classic.  Standout tracks include the eponymous "Terrorama" and "Enlightenment Through Death".  This is currently available in two different versions--the regular version (1000 pressed) is on 180 gram vinyl, while the "diehard edition" (200 pressed) boasts Nuclear War Now's legendary excess for packaging:  picture disc lp, full color gatefold jacket, poster, printed inner sleeve, sticker, and a patch.
Scoot's Rating:  B+
