POSEIDON – Back From The Abyss: The Anthology CD

Description

These guys are a new one to me. Only ever released on 12″ back in 1989 and a limited demo, and they’re both collected here. The crappy “muscular sea monster groping a naked lady” artwork shouldn’t put you off (note to labels: these bands had a rough sound, did small press releases….polished, moden cover art is NOT befitting the music or aesthetic AT ALL!), the music is great. It’s not quite full-on teutonic-sounding (though the rasping vocals are there), but more a wee bit of the Bay Area sound and informed by speed metal. It’s fuckin great and I am going to add the 12″ to my wantlist immediately!
