Bunker 66 (Italy)
Bunker 66, like many others polluting the underground in 2011, ignore everything that has happened to metal since the very first day of 1990. Their music dates back to a purer time, when the genre had not seen much evolution, but it had been briefly recycling itself. Tired of that, the hungry and perverted youth of Switzerland, Sweden, Germany and Brasil were thinking about pushing the envelope, accidentally propelling metal into what is now known as extreme. Right at this point enter Bunker 66. A trio out of Messina who have crafted a nearly flawless EP. Now, would someone please reissue this in silver coated and serrated vinyl? Here we have Punk infested guitars gone the Venom and early Destruction way. Solos that are at once exercises in taste and a totally random collection of high feeling notes. No double bass drumming. Frosty vocals with the additional banshee screams for heightened effect. It’s all here, all delivered with such reverence for the classics, even Quorthon would peek out of the grave just to say Ciao!
Fenriz says: “right now, this band is doing ABSOLUTELY. EVERYTHING. RIGHT. listening to their “OUT OF THE BUNKER” EP, it becomes evident that this band is perfect for me, i like the sound of everything in their recording, and the style…well, atleast fans of BLIZZARD from Germany and IMPOSTOR from Norway should have a field day.”
