October 1980
Vardis
100 M.P.H.
Genre: Underproduced Indie New Wave of Heavy Metal
3.25
Highlights:
Situation Negative
It’s underproduced because the band recorded it live, apparently.
There’s a tonnage of riffs here and that’s basically what I gather this band is all about. “Songs” are secondary too shredding. And this is, I gather, pretty early in the shredding era so maybe it’s ground breaking. But, damn, does the shoddy sound hurt it as a demo. It sounds like it was recorded straight from the board at a shitty little club. Which it probably was but, dammit, go back into a studio and record it proper. You have the chops, obviously. I mean, listen to the bluesbreaking rock “Destiny” and and the glammy “Living Out Of Touch” and tell me that they couldn’t play alongside any other boogie rockers of the day.
