Never straying too far from 80's Bay Area Thrash Metal's chaotically noisy formula, but definitely in no shortage of riff-heavy head-bangers roller-coasting through innumerable, if somewhat predictably patterned changes of speed, TEARABYTE's 1998 debut US release (finally getting european distribution after nine years) still plays like a blatant homage to the diabolus in musica that irreparably infected MTV's triumphant first decade with the massive roar of that passionately violent tribe of metal-heads.
Of course what was A Lesson In Violence back in the day, was already out of fashion by the time Doom Generation first came out, and could easily end up having been reduced to a colorless lesson in history by now, but, with the Californians' charmingly frenetic over-playing set against a  fittingly muddy mix and occasionally accompanied by misogynous jokes as unapologetically gross as Screaming Pig Fucker Of Hell's inclusion of sampled, real...pig-squealing, this rarely sounds less than a fun-hunt from the heart.
