Nobody expects the speed metal inquisition! One of the hottest zerrest years was 1985 and Amnesty is one of the reasons why. At the pinnacle of the peak of the highest altitudes of the zerrest of speed metal, there were Hallows Eve, Exciter, Abattoir and Zoetrope and 7500 others, but especially Zoetrope, who were in the classic trio of bands whose singer is also the drummer or vice-versa (Warfare, Exciter, Zoetrope, zer!). Amnesty is an addictive attack of rocking crispiness and catchy loads of street metal. It's boiling with energy, memorable hooks and burning execution. It's as sweet as it is rough. It is a gift from the universe to itself. Master thing to bang a head to! My unconditional love for this record has transformed into eternal worship considering it has aged perfectly and leaves nothing to the retro trend. Life of crime delivers a similar array of crunchy tunes, while Mind over splatter is sort of colder and meaner, but Amnesty remains the top of the top (and the CD reissue contains older demos, more zer). Classic albums, killer Zoetrope forever and rezer!!!
!ZER Zoetrope ZER!

  1. I saw them open for Slayer at The Ritz in NYC in 87. Agnostic Front was also on the bill. Great show - Great band.
