Well here it is--the BEST BULLDOZER lp from ITALY. 1st Discomagic Pressing - MORE HISTORY of Heavy Metal Right here man! This HAS to be one of the BEST THRASH lps from ITALY! AMAZING Artifact that sounds like early SABBAT clubbing Motorhead across the face with an electric dildo !
VG+/VG+ (includes insert--the condition is a little better than I have described it--beautiful copy! Top shelf! has some very small marks in pen next to a few of the songs on the back...not very noticeable. Record plays perfect! Sharp edges and no seam splits!)
After originally sounding more like a darker and thrashier Venom, Bulldozer finally have developed their own unique sound. In my opinion, this is their best album. The production here is superb compared to the first 2 albums. It's not perfect but much better than the distant and thin production and The Day Of Wrath and the noisy production of The Final Separation.

IX opens up and it's a massive thrash assault with screeching vocals that almost sound like Max Cavalera especially the verse lines that have one vocal line over another. The song has a dark feel to it and is very thrashy. The song also features a nice solo.

Desert blasts in and it is the best Bulldozer track in their entire career. It starts off with acoustic guitars in the background and a distorted guitar playing some harmony. Then the thrash comes in. Massive riff after another with fantastic vocals. The guitar work here is simply amazing. It's so ironic that Bulldozer play these primitive riffs but then they unleash an amazing fucking lead riff at the end of each vocal line. The intro is played again halfway through the song and then comes in an amazing solo. Seriously... how do they play so well?

Ilona The Very Best is a short solid thrasher. Great vocals, great riffs, and 2 short but nice solos.

Misogynists is one hell of a thrash frenzy. Fast riffs with simple blast beats. Great solo too.

Heaven's Jail is twice as lethal and twice as aggressive as the track before. The solo is pretty primitive here mostly consisting of weird bends but it still kicks ass.

Rob "Klister" comes next and is the worst song on this album. It's just a short boring thrasher that really has nothing memorable and offers nothing to the listener. It's fast and has decent riffs but not developed enough to actually make me care.

The Derby is a bit of a slower track but still aggressive and brutal with killer vocals... "HATRED! HATRED! HATRED!" The riffs and the speed remind me of Slaughter. And of course, what could a fantastic Bulldozer song be without the killer melodic solo? The song ends rahter abruptly with the last minute being the same riff over and over again speeding up a bit each time with some violence heard in the background. 

No Way brings back the fast thrash. Killer chorus and nice riffs. Solid track that ends with a piano.

The Vision Never Fades starts with an eiree orchestral tune and then in comes a blazing mid-paced thrash assault. The song has terrific riffs that are for once not primitive simple power chords and shredding palm mutes. The solo halfway through is breathtaking. Fantastic fucking black/thrash.

This album almost received the perfect 100 but nothing memorable was found in Rob "Klister" and in parts of a few other tracks but who cares... this album fucking rules! If you love old school black/thrash, you'll love this. If you love thrash and you aren't a pussy and you can take raw production, check this out. This is the best Bulldozer release just because of Desert! GET IT NOW!
