DRUNKEN BASTARDS – Horns of the Wasted CD
Hells Headbangers Records
Musically there’s no mistaking where this Hungarian band’s influences come from and that’s mid-80’s Hardcore and Thrash, the good stuff before it turned to shit. For some reason I thought there use to be an English Punk/Oi band which went by the same name. On this their sophomore full length, more on that point later, the DRUNKEN BASTARDS provide alot of reminiscing for me in a good way. This five piece sounds like POISON IDEA, one of the greatest Hardcore bands from the 80s, who also dabbled on the Metal side of the stream. Blizzard’s vocals are a spot on Jerry A. and the guitar riffs would make Pig Champion (RIP) proud. They kick out some great speedy originals like “Drink with Satan”, “Baptized in Speed and Blood” and “Posercrusher”, which was also the title of their 2007 debut. Plus they include two covers by EAT MY FUK, who I never heard of but that’s a GG reference and BARBATOS who I do know and this band’s version of “Prophecy of the Evening Star” is spot on. Technically my calling this a full length is a stretch since it’s around twenty minutes long with eight cuts and one of those is an intro. Another thing is that this is actually a compilation since all of these cuts have appeared either on the first full length or their various split releases. Well be that as it may so if you’re already a fan then this is worthless but for scum punk lovers this is a must.
