World Downfall is by far my favorite Grindcore album of the 80’s. It’s become really clear to me why most Grindcore doesn’t do it for me while Terrorizer kicks ass.
1. I don’t like silly/humorous music, which a fair portion of Grindcore is. This means lyrically and sonically – Terrorizer is full of hardcore riffs and angry, pessimistic messages that mesh well with the chaotic, manic wall of aggression.
2. Unlike most Punk genres, if you want to play Grindcore, you have to know how to play your instruments… Doing everything as fast as physically possible without having some amazing technique and precision just sounds awful. Terrorizer is full of extreme talent and capability. They nail everything they aim for and always sound precise (save the vocalist… more on that later).
3. If you want to play Grindcore, you need decent production. If you’re just going hard on every instrument as aggressively as possible, and you don’t have some sort of production job that can individualize those instruments, it just sounds like noise. World Downfall has some very good production without compromising the grit or making it sound clean. There is no sheen to it; simply a very good job of making sure every awesome riff is still audible over those pounding drums, and the bass gets some great treatment too.
There is one huge weakness here, else it would be a near perfect grind record. The vocalist.

다른 무슨 설명이 필요한가?? 이미 Napalm Death의 [Scum]이 나온 뒤의 앨범이라지만 [World Downfall]은 [Scum] 수준의 가치가 된다고 생각되는 앨범이다. [Scum]은 기념비작 + 정통 Grindcore를 표방한 작이라 높은 점수를 쳐준다면 [World Downfall]은 비록 1년 뒤에 나왔지만 [Scum]보다 약간 높은 수준의 퀄리티를 들려주기에 그만한 비교대상이 될만 하다고 생각한다. [Scum]의 보완작품이라고 해야하나??
확실히 [Scum]의 오마쥬가 띄이는 곡들이 눈에 띄이는데 그렇다고 단순히 배겼다고 하기도 그렇다. Terrorizer만의 스타일이 돋보이기 때문이기도 했고 특히나 Drummer인 "Pete Sandoval"의 Drum 실력은 살벌하기까지 하다.
아쉬운 점은 Drum이 강조되게 녹음이 되었다는 건데 좀 듣다보면 Drum만 약간 튀게 따로 노는 기분이 언짠게 들리기도 한다. 하지만 역시나 최강의 앨범인건 사실이다.

Pete Sandoval 의 드러밍으로 그냥 휘날리는 테크닉의 향수. Terrorizer 의 1집 입니다. 사실 그라인드코어 가 짧고 되게 심플한 매력으로 듣게 되는 장르라고 보는 이유가 이 밴드에서도 여실히 보이는 듯싶습니다. 드럼파트만 돋보이는건 약간 아쉬움으로 보이며, 심플하면서도 조금씩 끊어주는 브레이킹 구성과 보이스가 조금 뭍히는 감이 있어서 드럼파트만 강조되어서 인지 조금씩 따로노는 각 파트를 재구성 한다면 짜임새 있는 앨범이 될듯 싶습니다.

흠 잡을 곳이 없는 완벽한 그라인드코어 명작입니다. 이 음반에서 배워야할 점은, 블래스트비트로 달리는 것이 그라인드코어의 생명이지만 그와 동시에 속도감이 다른 부분을 절묘하게 조합하여 그 쾌감을 극대화시켜야 한다는 것입니다. 이 음반은 데스 메탈과 하드코어 펑크의 요소를 골고루 받아들여서 그 점을 역사상 가장 훌륭하게 해냈습니다.

Super early years of deathgrind, so I started my deathgrind Tuesday with it. This was an excellent choice. I was hoping to like it, but even so the quality of this album surprised me. Maybe it's well known that Terrorizer is a band to come to for great drumming... and now I know it too. I'm not surprised there's a band named after track 11.

그라인드코어/데스의 전설이 된.. 그러나 89년도 정규앨범 한 장내고 오래동안 잠수하다 06년에 와서야 2집을 낸다. 곡 길이도 적당히 짧고(1분30초~3분) 마구마구 달려준다.

올드하니 묘하게 먼지 낀 듯한 기분이 든다. 투박하고 화나있지만 꽤 정교하기도 한 올드스쿨 명반 중 하나이자 Repulsion의 Horrified와 함께 데스그라인드의 시조로 불리는 앨범.

Crazy to think that this album is turning 32 years old soon. It's like Pete's muscles are made of Cotati metal fibers.

Napalm Death의 Scum과 자주 비교되곤 하는 작품인데, 개인적인 취향으로는 본작을 더 좋아합니다. 일단 그 어떤것 보다 가장 돋보이는 산도발의 폭주하는 드러밍이 압도적이고, 리프의 짜임새나 보컬의 표현력이 더 섬세하며, 실험적인 면보다는 그냥 무식하고 폭발적으로 달리는 것에 더 중점을 두고 있어서 좋습니다. 육중한 덩치로 고속 질주하는 장갑차 같습니다.
