Malevolent Creation - Joe Black
The first three, new, songs are pretty cool, although not quite up to the extremely high standard of Eternal. The next three are Dance remixes of songs from their last LP. I’m not kidding. They’re only good if you need a laugh. I think that this type of remix is not necessarily worthless, but these are extremely inept examples of the style. Next we have an excellent demo version of “Genetic Affliction” that is easily the high point of the disc. This is followed by a really limp-wristed cover of “Raining Blood.” Brett’s vocals are amazingly weak on this track. I had to check to make sure it was really him. Finally, there are two cuts from the band’s awesome 1990 demo, recorded before Brett decided to apparently ruin his voice by “going Death.” I really would have much preferred the Dance remixes and pathetic attempt at a Slayer cover be removed in favor of some live tracks and the third song from the ‘90 demo. I guess you can’t win them all.
