RAGING FURY.

Not a lot I can tell you about these guys other than the fact that they've been around since 1982, and play an aggressive rockin' version of Thrash.
This may sound weird, but their singer totally reminds me of a whisky-and-Marlboros-hoarsed-out Matt Pike at times - yes, I realized these guys precede High On Fire by like, um 15 years or something - but maybe 'Ol Frost Hammer is a fan of these guys? Who knows?

What I do know is that this is a hard-as-fuck CD to find, and these guys fly way under the radar.
If you love Japanese metal / HC, you should be diggin' this little gem as well.
More unique flavor from the Far East, bro.

CORRUPTED.

When it comes to the Japanese masters of doom/sludge, it's hard to pick a favorite as these guys consistently put out a ton of weighty material - all of it being superior to most of the genre.

Here's an excellent recording from a 2005 live performance you don't see posted much.
I wish I could give you more info about "Live at Fandango 2005", but like many things Corrupted, it is a mystery...
