Gammacide

美國(guó)老牌激流Gammacide，成立于1986年，雖然只在1989年出過(guò)一張正式專輯，但在thrashers中卻擁有不錯(cuò)的評(píng)價(jià)。他們的音樂(lè)吸引人的地方既不是優(yōu)美抒情的旋律也不是華麗的炫技，而是猛烈迅疾的下切與敲擊，特別是高頻率的blast beats，很直接地帶動(dòng)你甩頭。發(fā)揚(yáng)了slayer，dark angel，sadus等大牛團(tuán)的brutal thrash精神，成為80年代末的經(jīng)典。

Comprising vocalist Varnam Ponville, guitarists Scott Shelby and Rick Perry, bassist Eric Roy, and drummer Jamey Milford, Arlington, TX, band Gammacide emerged during the late-'80s thrash metal craze and managed just one album, 1989's Victims of Science, before going their separate ways. Guitarist Perry later joined an industrial metal band called Puncture, while Ponville and Shelby moved to Louisiana and formed another thrash group, Cauldron, releasing a pair of late-'90s albums. Gammacide's sole LP, Victims of Science, would be reissued in 2004 with six bonus tracks.
