Turbocharged-AntiXian

Chaos Records
2011


With an original vinyl version release limited to just 300 copies in 2010 this is is the official CD release due out in June of this year. Mastered at Leon Music Studios by Rikard Löfgren (VOMITORY, DEATHSTARS, ENFORCER) AntiXian is the full length debut album for Swedish dirty rockers Turbocharged. Formed in the year 2000 the band had released a handful of demos before this album. What an album this is too! Listening to 40 minutes of insane music where you hear bits of Venom, Slayer, Discharge, The Exploited, Sodom, Motorhead, Death, Morbid Angel, Black Flag,Pantera, C.O.C and even Ministry (the more metal years). Granted the band's anti-Christian theme comes of a tad too much like Venom/Deicide for me. The music though is raw and gritty and has this garage/street metal vibe to it. Its like all the bands above had a huge keg party and banged out an album of punk/thrash/groove/death/rock mayhem.
