Stay Pure D.I.Y

Space Eater – 'Aftershock' – Full-lenght – 2010

It seems that the death of Bosko Radisic, before the vocal and main songwriter, didn't put the band to rest and that's a good thing. The dude was an icon and now a legend to the Serbian and Balkan scene, involved in every kind of UG activities. After his death by fire in 2009 (the same year we lost our own legend in Macedonia too – Stefan), the band went on for recording the album with symbolical moniker – 'Aftershock'. Here are 10 original songs, on which the vocals are taken and re-mastered from Bosko's previous demo recordings. All in all, the producer made a great job and all of this sounds perfect, especially for the style they play. It's thrash, more oriented to the bay-area, but made in clean, practical and calm way. By calm I don't mean passive, it's explosive and mean as it gets. The high-pitched vocals bring that power feeling to it, but the lyrics are completely opposite to that, with their mean and dirty shouts and messages. There isn't much special about this, but it's a must have anyways, hehe. The music is solid and the release has its significance. Best song I found here is 'Abort', and the second place goes to 'FAA' ('Flames Across America')... Terror breeds new terror, safety's just a dream, Extreme deeds are answered with deeds just as extreme... (BOKI)
