TRENCH HELL - Southern Cross Ripper (Red Vinyl) (LP)

Initially formed as a side project by Hexx (also in Toxik Holocaust, Nocturnal
Graves and Gospel Of The Horns), the Melbourne-based trio became a
revered underground phenomenon just on the strength of their debut mini
album "Southern Cross Ripper", which was released in 2008 and remains a
fixture in every self-respecting Venom and Hellhammer worshipper's record
collection. With bassist Kellhammer's Cronos-snarl and many an "ugh!" in
the spirit of Tom G. Warrior, these six songs marry the sublime rawness of
proto black and thrash metal to early rock 'n' roll's sleazy attitude, resulting
in 22 minutes of pure, unpolished aural gold with astoundingly refined guitar
leads and inspired solos.
