Description

English thrash metal with Frank Healey (Benediction/Sacrilege). With their third album ‘Bastards’ Cerebral Fix pretty much continued in the same unchanged vein established on their previous album. Dark and heavy thrash metal with particularly gruff vocals. The general style of this album is quite uniform and above all very distinctive, something not too common in the genre in those days. Instead of relying on absolute speed all the time, Cerebral Fix gains more momentum from the roaring chainsaw riffs and biting vocals. As a result, the music has a notably evil and punishing feel to it. The sound of ‘Bastards’ is maybe more refined and pounding to a small extent, but in practice there is little difference between ‘Bastards’ and the previously album ‘Tower Of Spite’. Cerebral Fix had a truly characteristic style of their own. Blaze Bayley does guest vocals on ‘Smash It Up’. 2008 re-issue in digipack with 7 bonus tracks recorded live in London.
