ROTTING CARCASS - Egal... 1995

Finally the weekend and let's roll in with a band that didn't bring much to vinyl but played solid D-Punk that can keep up with the big combos of the early Eighties. We're talking about Rotting Carcassa four piece from Kempten which formed 1982 by Batz & Hesse (vocals/bass), Tommy (guitars), Kurty (drums) and this nice compilation came via Six Pack Records (early copies are handnumbered on back cover) and contains the full 1984 studio session plus the few songs, a split EP and some sampler stuff, that the band released. An older review, but can also be quoted here: "They showcases a bright, fast HC sound augmented by clean and basic production, resulting in a pleasant dose of good German material." Steve Spinali (MRR #28 • Sep.1985) - That's right, enjoy eleven catchy & rare nuggets that garnish a short break from everyday life. Now it's time to open the first beer, Cheers!

ROTTING CARCASS & WUT - Split EP 1985

Brilliant split 12'' by two great bands on More Fun Records in yellow multicoloured vinyl. First Wut with their "Alles Schon Mal Gesehen-Alles Schon Mal Gehört!" side and all five songs are among the best, what the band, Schetty (vocals), Olli (guitars), Holger (bass) & Jörg (drums), ever recorded: angry, aggressive, energetic and bombastic noises in a perfect fat soundNothing is missing, top grade! The dance continue by "...Their Last Testament", the Rotting Carcass side, a four piece which were formed 1982 in Kempten by Batz & Hesse (vocals/bass), Tommy (guitars), Kurty (drums) and after a successful tour with the Toy Dolls in 1985 they parted ways. Their five songs are pure pogosmasher, wild and snotty, catchy and easy flammable. In 1995, Six Pack Records brought their complete 1984 studio session on vinyl, partly hand-numbered editions. Great record by two bands who speaks an offensive language.

V/A - Fun's Not Dead 1985

Inspired by Nolti's birthday repetition, which is full of numerous D-Punk classics and songs I haven't heard for a long time, I thought I rummage on my hard drive and check out what's elegant there. The result is this decent compilation by More Fun Records with fine and exclusive pieces by eight bands which made their vinyl debut in the mid-eighties. The selection is quite convincing and for me it belongs to one of the positive apparitions in this sector. Came partly in colored vinyl and detailed inserts which are unfortunately not available here, maybe someone has useful scans for me. The slab became a victim of my lack of solvency at that time and that is of course annoying. Egal, sometime is Schulz anyway. If you like these bands take a look around the blog, you'll find more stuff for sure. Now I'm chilling a little and I'm hot for the match against Cologne later. Prost!

WUT - Kapitalismus 1986

Awesome Killer Stuff now by this great band from Langenfeld. WUT were founded in 1983 by Schetty (vocals), Holger (bass), Oli (guitars) & Jörg (drums) and their first release came two years later in form of a split EP "Their Last Testament/Everything Ever Seen - Everything Ever Heard!" with Rotting Carcass on More Fun Records and also in 1985 their only album Kapitalismus via Double A, 1990 another split 12'' with Sons Of Sadism, also Double A Records. I quote the band from the insert:

"We are four individuals who've come together about 2½ years ago to express our attitude to life through music. However, we do not understand music as an end in itself, but as a step out of our own impotence, the powerlessness that we experience every day when we look at the state of this world.

Our system is based on the exploitation of the masses, the developing countries and nature. It relies on brainwashing in schools, psychiatry, factories, barracks, and in the media, where it sells consumer goods as a substitute for interpersonal relationships, living off alienation from one another. It educates people to selfish money-hungry intolerant dependent self-employed labor-bearing and consuming machines. This is the world of gross national product, the 5-year plan, the suicide rate ...

The music creates a free space, a medium through which we can express our thoughts and feelings. On the other hand, it's just fun for us, a fun that gives us more than the full of fun, aggression and walls of coolness marked 'fun' of the well-known 'jokers' at countless concerts, meetings and other places.

Through the band, we also got to know people we might never have met otherwise, people who make us rich with a lot of positive experiences and the confirmation to do something useful. The people we have known for some time, who have experienced our way and whom we love! And all those we do not know, but who may be on the same path as us, we dedicate this album! Love & Strength to those who resist.

There are days when people question all the beautiful ideals that they laboriously built up, because the feeling is quickly spreading that nothing will change anyway, especially when sees that unconditional adaptation to this power money-driven society is rewarded by a secure content (??) existence, as long as man does not come up with the idea to ask the meaning of such an existence. We can not let ourselves be lulled by the ignorance of the masses who are only interested in their beer supply, their new car and the length of their cocks. Keep your own head and live your life!"
