Benediction – Subconscious Terror (1990)

I didn’t realise until today that it was Mick Harris of Napalm Death / Scorn etc. who produced this album. It’s got a lovely sound, one that is admittedly a little bit raw but it works really well. The drumming is outstanding (that snare sound is out of this world).

Barney is on point in the vocal department and there’s some really cool sections where his trademark roars are backed up by absolutely disgusting pitchshifted screams. I love it.

I’ve long been a fan of Benediction, having caught the Dave Hunt fronted version of the band live multiple times, but I’m really glad I went back to the debut and checked this out. Really good stuff.
