Hellnation - Thrash Wave
Band Name: Hellnation. The Verdict: Hellnation is in your face!
Album Art: You have got to be kidding me. Where’s the pile of skulls, dudes? Nowhere! There is one token skull, but it’s all cartoony and not very hardcore at all. What color is the rest of the cover? Purple?! The Verdict: Horrible.
The Music: You cannot thrash more blisteringly furious than Hellnation. Period. Not even that one Agoraphobic Nosebleed song with the machine gun sample instead of drums can top it. This record thrashes so hard it will make your ears bleed, and your eyeballs shrivel up like raisins. You will probably puke up your liver. The Grand Unifying Theory has been torn to shreds, and left rotting on the side of the road by a bunch of kids who couldn’t circle pit because there’s no mosh part in any of these songs, ever. The Verdict: So so good, but that art is so so bad.
