Confessor - Uncontrolled – Divebomb Records CD/DVD
Yeah, old school metalheads should remember a cult album of this band called - Condemned - kicked out by Earache records decades ago. It`s been one of that milestone CD`s that breakthrough a visionism of metal music for many years to come. Before all that happened the band have recorded several demo tapes that you can hear on this album along with tons of video footages and live tracks. First of all, I have to say that all 3 demos have great sound quality that leave behind lots of studio productions made in second half of 80`s. The most significant songs are – Collapse into despair; Alone; Condemned; Eve of salvation plus never before released tracks on CD. It`s a great energy in all those songs that sounds very natural nowadays.
Second disc is a DVD with crazy performances from NY and Italy. Most footage has been restored out from VHS tapes. The quality is not that good due to analog recording that was more affordable in 80`s and has not that digital shape which is standard these days. The band have done very good job making this for your eyes anyway. Actually I have given amount of time digging this release and at the end of the day have very positive feeling that it is not yet discovered .
