SUICIDAL TENDENCIES Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Following on from the hardcore roots of their self-titled debut, but before making the full transition into crossover thrash metal territory on the now iconic, 'How Will I Laugh Tomorrow When I Can't Even Smile Today', Suicidal Tendencies arguably found their cemented footing on 'Join The Army.'

Increasing the solos, double-kick pedal drumming and ferocity tenfold, it was this 1987 sophomore effort that would begin dissolving the preconceived boundaries between hardcore and metal. With the intersectionality both genres and scenes have, and continue to share to this day, it really shouldn't be too difficult to understand why the LA bruisers are an essential point of contention within any discussion or analysis, or why their legacy seems to age like the finest of wines.
