An absolute ripper from Hayward, California (remember kids, in the late '80s the trashier parts of the East Bay were a hotbed for thrash metal, so the Hayward thing might not be all that weird), KAOS shred the shit out of four songs on this 1990 banger. Speed picking to rival Scaccia coupled with legit mosh stomps? Oh yeah, I'm all in. KAOS pay more attention to speed than to precision, and the whole thing teeters on the the edge of the rails for almost the entire duration - but listen to the scream in "Descent Into Madness" and tell me that you want them to settle in?! Fukk no you don't. You want your thrash like this.

Lyrics primarily revolve around animal rights and anti-vivisection, maybe not as much on this release though.
Fukk yeah Mike Scaccia! Your blog rules.
Searching for slambodins and deface brought me here and i want to say you are one righteous Hombre i never thought id find any traces of those ever again. I own maaany cassettes and this kaos demo is by far one of my favorites i really wish a full length was recorded during that time era cos this is some of the best thrash ever documented in my opinion.
