In terms of speed, most people consider these albums the fastest: Slayer's Reign in Blood and Dark Angel's Darkness Descends. However, that honour belongs to Oregon "beercore" thrashers Wehrmacht and their 1987 classic Shark Attack.

The guitar work we hear here has a crunching, mad tone; its power and savage rapidity are displayed through the entire album. John Duffy and Marco Zorich make a pretty great guitar team, although quite unspoken of. The drums are just as fast through the entire album, although at times not too audible. I assure you, that is no drum machine - Brian Lehfeldt is the man behind the kit, behind the blast beats and ferocious drum licks. The bass, although nothing spectacular or innovating, serves as a solid foundation to the music. Phillip Matos, although not being the most aggressive vocalist, has a gruff voice that fits the music well, and he doesn't overdo it.

Ignore the name, the music is great. Hell, they even denied Nazi accusations in "The Wehrmacht" off the album Biermacht.
Ellrohir - 08.06.2010 at 17:39  
  I am sure they did...but try to call your band for instance Panzer Lehr or Waffen SS (and even better play black metal) and then try to explain people you dont share nazi ideas...

you should know i am quite tolerant to NSBM, so i shouldnt have such a problem with that, yes, but i wanted to troll a little again

Rating: 8 The chorus in 'United Shoebrothers' sounds exactly like the 'Rotten To The Core' (Overkill) chorus.

This is the fastest album I've heard.


Ripping Corpse is faster, but this is fast for 1987, even compared to Kreator's 'Pleasure to Kill' or Sadus's 'Illusions'.
