Intense Degree – War In My Head
Kansanturvamusiikkikomissio – 666
I got this one through Anderz Nielsen. He sold many a strange record to me in the late 1980’s. I might still owe him 150 DKK.
Weird Finnish hardcore.
Fun fact: I always saw the thing on the cover as a rising submarine. But just now, I realize it’s a meat cleaver in attack position. Silly me.

Kansanturvamusiikkikomissio means The People’s Music Club (or so a Finnish lady once told me).
Sätkynukke/Kumikristus – Split Lp 1988
I haven’t listened to this lp in ages. But it’s a great reminder of how great Finnish hardcore is. This is classic stuff, reminds me a bit of old Terveet Kädet.

Billy Idol – Vital Idol
Sigh, my family name is Welling, back in 1985 the top cool thing to do in my school was singing
It’s a nice day to start again, it’s a nice day for a white Welling…
Fuck me, I still LOVE this lp. Everything about it is great. The perfect mix of pop and gilded punk.

Negazione – Wild Bunch/The Early Days
I first heard Negazione on a punk/hc compilation tape my crusty friend Allan bought from a punk on a train. I quite like the energy and ferocity of the recordings on this lp. The vox are on the verge of annoying at times.

Blood Money – Red Raw And Bleeding
I can’t say I remember why I bought this… Me and Kenneth (my friend and fellow musicfreak through 30 years) had a thing for this lp heap many years ago… I recall something about a cool guitar solo or somesuch. Listening to it right now doesn’t make the famous bell ring.

Napalm Death – Death By Manipulation
This is a classic example of an unnecessary release. All songs on it had been released before. I still bought it at release, because it’s a handy package. The A-side has the Harmony Corruption line-up, side B has the From Enslavement To Obliteration line-up.
Screaming whirlwind disorder!

Napalm Death – The Peel Sessions
When this lp came out featuring TWO Peel sessions, I was blown away. I still cherish these immensely brutal sessions of pure speed and noise.
I still love its older brother (aka the original 12″ with the first session) a bit more…
