After NEO PUNKZ came SUSPENSE and released another 7″ full of great Punk Hardcore borderline sloppyness. The three b-side songs are short and full of DISCHARGE riff glory, the a-side sounds definitely more sophisticated and although I personally find it a bit of a drag, I can hear that these guys could have evolved musically into an interesting direction. I don’t know if it did however, eventually with the guitarist or singer joining other bands.
And the song “Murder with the Axe” made me post this 7″ in its full glory. NY’s NIHILISTICS had the balls to steal this song and sell it as their own on their second LP – one Great Punk Rock Scam. And in the meantime, with revealing this story, it has also become the Funniest Punk Rock Scam Lie Tactics Mini Campaign. Just check out the above link and read carefully through the comments. It’ a wonderful read that, by its logical structure, could come out of any bible group in the world. And these comments claiming the NIHILISTICS came up first with the song just keep coming and coming!

Why are people afraid to steal songs, “we stole this song from the Germs, but we do it a lot better” If I was a kid and wanted to start a new punk band, first I would steall *all* the songs, just rewrite them a little bit, then steal some big acts names, like call your self Metallica, til you get sued, then Fleetwood Mac til you get sued etc. Eventually: Profit $$

Fred, I’m actually glad you’re not a kid anymore.

It’s a big problem. On truth it’s ridiculous!
Totally a lack of talent and interest on the music itself.
Anyway, there’s basic and diferent punk songs on this record. I liked both. A negative point i found is the mixing, the vocal sounds more intense than instrumental. I’d like to see full image of the covers, to coment about lyrics and stuff, but i wasn’t possible, sorry!
Megawimp, do you like death metal bands that existed between 1987-1992? I like Asphyx, Grave, Dr. Shrinker and a lot others. Their demos is totally punk. I’d like to see some stuff like this here, if you own something. And about Paul Chain? I’m waiting for more stuff, i loved the stuff you uploaded here. I’m studying guitar myself to play like him. haha He’s very good and give inspiration.
And to finish, i bought a Fear of God record, on a store in Fortaleza, Brazil, when travelling fo study, some months ago. It’s Born Blind 7″ Ep released by OFF THE MUSIK records, created by the guys of brazilian band ROT, if i’m not wrong.

Arthur: Nope, I hate that kind of Death Metal, honestly. The “Born Bind” 7″ was done without our consent, so it’s a bootleg. Buy the double LP Marcelo put out, that’s official.
Good to see so many enjoy SUSPENSE.

I’m saving some money to buy the double LP.
It’s a bit expensive for me, i’m just a student without money. haha And yeah, i understand you when you say that hate that kind of death metal, i see it’s honestly. There’s a lot of bad bands, and almost everythings today related to death metal is very similar to a comerce, or just do noise for noise, total non-sense.
I like the ‘tosqueira’ = ‘ugly but played from the heart’ from some old bands and a few new death metal bands. They souded very heavy, very full of grave and strange black, dark atmosfear. haha
