Review:
Assorted Heap isn't one of those well known early '90s bands, these guys are very underground and for the most part forgotten and obscure as well. If you pick up this album and give it a listen you'll be asking yourself "Why?" this is something that should not have been forgotten. This right here is very well done, very cool death/thrash with badass production! I mean seriously this sounds like it could've been recorded in fucking Morrisound! This is really some fucking killer metal that NEEDS to be found again!
The guitars are awesome, full of fucking insane riffs! Some of the riffs are very technical and sound quite difficult to pull off. The solos are awesome and sound almost Slayerish, and thats certainly not a bad thing. The soft intro on What I confess is really neat, and the riffs throughout the album and fucking brilliant to say the least. This is some sweet fucking riffing and soloing.
The drums are another great thing about the band, while maybe not as good as the guitars they're still very well and professionally played. A few really neat beats really add to the song structure and it's just overall great fun to listen to. The fills (as little of them as there are) are very well pulled off, if not unoriginal.
The vocals are decent, sometimes a little annoying but for the most part really well pulled off and pretty badass. I don't know what it is about the vocals but every now and then he'll pull some weird thing off that'll momentarily piss me off, but then instantly redeem himself with some Death styled mid-pitched growls.
All in all this is a pretty badass band, a bit on the obscure side, but you should check them out, they're worth the hunt!
Buy it if you can find it!
Final Rating:
4/5
That's all I can find on them.
