FINGERNAILS ⁄ VILLAINS  Getting Crazy  7" VINYL   (Nuclear War Now! Productions)   5.98


Nothing fancy, nothing pretty; just two street-level speed metal bands getting tanked and talkin' bout love. Getting Crazy is a 7" that came out a while ago that we just now got our hands on, featuring Villains from NYC (who here include members of Unearthly Trance and The Dying Light) and old school Italian rager Fingernails covering one another�s songs and each treating us to their own perverted take on lusty, old school Venom-style thrash.

Villains are up first, and their choice of "Crazy For Blowjobs" (off of the self-titled Fingernails debut from 1988) is absolutely perfect, the song seemingly made just for these sex-crazed, maniacal black thrashers. The freaked out speed metal onslaught is rocketed out at double speed, an ode to satanic fellatio sung with ripping buzzsaw riffage, drunken galloping drumming, and their trademark fucked-up vocals. Awesome, as always.

On the b-side, Fingernails counter with their stomping version of Villain's rough-sex-and-alcohol fueled anthem "Getting Cheap", a total Venom/Bulldozer-esque thrash ripper with distorted vocals, lots of wild screaming and impassioned ball-crushing wails. Goddamn exhilarating.

The sleeve features more of Desecrator's phenomenal artwork, which is always an incentive by itself for us to pick up anything Villains-related; but this 7" is sweet stuff for anyone looking to lick up some raw, psychotic speed metal hell.
