Heart Attack - EP - Keep Your Distance - Serious Clown Records - 1983
Original insert is included.
I think that records are valuable, so I carefully pack them in specially made boxes!
Who created the blast-beat (ultra fast drum beat, snare / bass kick / snare / bass kick etc.)? Some say it was Dave Grave from REPULSION, others say it was Mick Harris from NAPALM DEATH who first played it and Pete Sandoval from TERRORIZER thinks he came up with it (check this priceless video – it’s topless in a double sense: The interviewer takes off her top and the guys from MORBID ANGEL have no brains either).
The earliest recorded blast-beat that I know of can be heard on this record. HEART ATTACK’s second vinyl released in 1983, always makes me wonder what went on in the heads of the geezers after they finished the recording session. They must have stormed the studio, recorded the songs and mixed them down in such a hurry, cause it was all done in one day, January 29 1983. A quarter of a century later and still this EP has so much power and fury. And if the A-side hasn’t blown you away already, wait until “From what I see” bursts off with it’s crazy fast drumming and all as tight as a baby rat’s ass.
I didn’t know of this 12er until I found a whole stack of them, still sealed, in a record shop in the dump I grew up in. That must have been ca. 1985. At first, the pink sleeve turned me off a bit and I feared, the band who brought me (and only me) “God is dead” might have gone dull on “Keep your Distance”. Haha. No dull, no no. No dull at all. Have you played “English Cunts” yet? Oi! Every other song is outstanding too and shows quite a bit of talent for catchy and memorable song writing. Oi!
Unfortunately, the followup to this most glorious piece of musical history, wasn’t all that great. “Subliminal Seduction” was a bit hippie-esque, a lot about indians and stuff.
I’m pretty sure this has been rereleased on some label. Buy it.
Hardly ever played.
