LP

Philadelphia's Black Task were one of the rawest bands to come out of the burgeoning mid-'80s metal underground, there's no doubt about that. Some found their self-released four song 12" from 1985 a garbled mess of poor fidelity and Satanic lyricism. Those of us who enjoy such things found it to be nothing short of heaven. I mean...hell! hell! Yeah, that's it... Hats off to the Radio Raheem boys for taking that 12" as well as the band's 1984 demo tape Spikes to the Wall and smashing it all onto vinyl this year.
