JESUS CROST – 1986LP

Description

The 1986 World Cup is memorable for Maradonna’s brilliant goal against England and also the one where he beat loads of players single-handedly then scored (see what I did there?). It’s also noteable for yet another instance of Scotland being drawn in a pure fuckin brutal group and getting knocked out very narrowly despite definitely deserving to get out their group. It’s now also the subject of a grindcore album. Jesus Crost play really catchy grind with dual vocals (one a kinda death rasp and the other that really annoying pig squeal thing); it’s often start-stop stuff but sometimes a great riffs kicks in and it’s proper good. Each song I assume is meant to be named after a player who played at the World Cup, except John Fashanu never played at a World Cup. Should’ve named it Gordon Strachan instead. Amateurs.
