Mutilus Mucous - Don't Wipe It Off On Me (1988)

This is pretty generic thrash from northern California. You really already know what this sounds like, so I won't spend too much time on that, except to say that it's competently performed but the production could use some work -- it's so trebley that it's hard to really hear the guitars well. What's remarkable about this demo are the vocals: they're horrible. But I'll give the band credit for being honest -- the credits list main man Manny Bravo with "guitars, bass & 'I can't sing but I'll sing' vocals". Manny: you're right -- you can't sing. That's why the best song here is the six-and-a-half minute instrumental "Fee Fie Phobia". But that's still really not worth listening to -- it's really just a pointless collection of thrash riffs with even more pointless soloing.
