It will take you about three breaths to get past the band's moniker and start thrashing around your bedroom in manic counter clockwise circles, and the chances of you throwing shit out your window in a spontaneous fit of moshtastic fury are going to skyrocket mere seconds after you click "download this file." Torino's JESTER BEAST formed in 1983, contributed a song to the killer Heavy Metal Made In Italy compilation two years later, then laid low for several years after the untimely death of their original guitarist. 1988 saw the drummer resurrect JESTER BEAST and dish out this raging four song demo before releasing an LP and EP in the early '90s, and members from NEGAZIONE, DECLINO, plus a host of other Italians passed through their ranks before calling it quits in the mid '90s. Destroy After Use is quintessential crossover thrash; speed picking and occasional blasts are delivered with an undeniably punk fury that gets a little lost on the band's vinyl efforts. Imagine early D.R.I. mixed with '80s Italian hardcore and filtered through primitive early speed metal glasses...
