Rediscovering...RAZOR

Thrash from Canada! Back inna day I used to spin an entitled Executioner's Song by the band Razor. I also had Violent Restitution. I loved spinning these in the early years of thrash metal. Well....I found their back catalog....all except the album Exhumed which is like a best of. I am so VERY impressed with this band. The Armed and Dangerous EP is an excellent piece of raw thrash power! Evil Invaders and Malicious Intent have a strong punk/raw/nasty feel to them....almost primitive in a way.

Then I jumped on over to Shotgun Justice and WOW!! Complete out of control speed/thrash metal! I think every song on this album is 500 MPH! Ive got Custom Killing, Open Hostility and Decibels to go and so far I have not been dissapointed!

Im surprised these guys didnt get above the underground. With good production they would have sounded even better! They can hang with the best of the big boys IMO.

Great band!

I think their have been already 4 posts about RAZOR but they are all welcome because they were one of the best bands ever!!!!and deserve much respect.

You can't go wrong with any Razor disc in my opinion! Full-throttle thrash metal at its best! I freakin' LOVE Shotgun Justice. Things don't even slow down on that album except in like 2 places, the opening of the title track, and then on Brass Knuckles.

YES! That is what totally blows me away! Lryically they are pretty goofy but I can look past that. The sheer intensity of the songs on Shotgun Justice are brutal!
