New VOETSEK album "Infernal Command" OUT NOW! some GOLD VINYL available for mailorder.


==========================


Voetsek "Infernal Command"

Having released a full length and bunch of vinyl on such distinguished record labels like Six Weeks, Deep Six, 625, Sound Pollution, MCR and more, San Francisco thrashers Voetsek attack with their brand-new full length entitled "Infernal Command." The album consists of 17 fast metallic tracks mixing Bay Area fastcore/power violence (Spazz, Capitalist Casualities) and Bay Area thrash metal (Vio-lence, Death Angel). The sound is more developed and metal sounding while the songs are definitely more thought out compared to previous recordings, but the result is still the same high energy fastcore/thrash. "Infernal Command" was recorded at Lennon Studios and mastered at Mammoth Sound Mastering (Impaled, MDC, Ghoul, Magrudergrind). The artwork was done by Andrei Bouzikov, an outstanding artist well-known from his work for Municipal Waste, Cannabis Corpse, Deadfall, Strung Up and other great punk and metal bands. A must have for fans of both old school thrash metal and modern fastcore. BOOYAH!

=======================

Voetsek just returned home from Europe where the first 200 Gold vinyls were sold as they slayed across Poland, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Slovakia, Hungary and Czech (Obscene Extreme and Fluff Fests)

100 Gold Vinyls remain for Tankcrimes mailorder.

CD version on Selfmadegod also available.
