Hostages Of Ayatollah

Hostages Of Ayatollah - ANTHOALOGY - 1982/1989 01. Hostages Of Ayatollah – ANTHOALOGY, 1982/1989 Vinyl LP Compilation Limited Edition x 2, DVD
     X-Mist Records – XM-095
     Reissue from 2009
Very finest German punk rock abrasion! Not the merciless thrash of Inferno, rather the more melodic approach of Funeral Oration or Upright Citizens. If you need a break of Chilean death metal (more tomorrow!), try this excellent collection that, I think, gathers all the HOA recordings (but I was too lazy to read the giant German booklet to really be sure). At least it has all I used to know from their EPs and compilation appearances. Punks til zer!

Totally classic German hardcore punk with lots of melodies, originality and class. They know how to write great songs without trying to blatantly mimic anyone. If you dig Pullermann, Upright Citizens, Scream or a punkier version of Jingo de Lunch, this stuff is HIGH PROFILE HC ZERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!R!R!R! !R!RR!RRRRRRRRRRRR! !R! !RR! R!R!R! !R!R !!! !RRR ! ! ! ! RRR !! !
Vinyl rip (actually, I got the double Lp but downloaded the mp3s from X-Mist’s website – so I guess these mp3s were encoded from the remasters, not vinyl).
“32 Tracks – all tracks of their legendary first EP, the split with MANSON YOUTH, the best songs of the debut and unreleased demotracks! Plus a Bonus DVD with live footage and old video clips!”
