Wasted: Halloween... The Night Of (Reissue)

Here we have a reissue of the 1984 release from Denmark's Wasted, titled Halloween...The Night Of, originally on Midas Records but now once again available through Transubstans/Denomination Records. This is pretty raw, primal, cavernous sounding heavy metal, firmly rooted in the time period it was originally released, so don't expect great production values or high quality songwriting here. To be honest, this brings back memories of those tape trading days, where you'd find yourself in possession of no shortage of rough sounding demos of countless bands in varying degree of quality. Wasted fall somewhere in between those obscure NWOBHM acts and the early Venom, Possessed, Hellhammer, and Slayer material, like a meeting of classic metal and thrash. Problem is, for the most part it's just not very good. "Goodbye" rages along like a punk fueled early thrash tune, but the vocals are just bad, as they are on the brisk "Demons Re-Calling". The whole affair sounds like it was recorded on an old cassette player in a garage, yet, to many, that very well might be the appeal. As a little slice of heavy metal nostalgia, I can see where some fans might feel the need to seek this one out, but just make sure you know what you are getting yourself into before you buy. Some cool riffs in spots, a few galloping rhythms, but overall this is REALLY rough around the edges.
