The Third Vipers and Vinyl Mission. Cro-Mags Attack Squadron

Cro-Mags- Best Wishes -Profile Records Inc. Pro-1274

This album cover kills. Hands Down one of the greatest images ever put on a vinyl record.

The music on this LP is equally as ferocious as the image on the sleeve. Cro-Mags sound harder in 1989, than half the shit being released these days.

The movie Maniac is also playing while this album is on. Both of these pieces of classic brutality go quite well together. The part where Tom Savini blows his own head off is currently coming up onscreen. If you've never seen Maniac, go see that shit. It has become a favorite here in da' Vault.

The image at the top of this post is from Savini's blood drenched scene in Maniac.

Crush The Demoniac the first song on Side Two is capable of putting a smile on any headbanger's mug. This album may cause the listener to strike out, jump up, and destroy small objects around them. There are flashy riffs all over this release, frontman and bassist Harley Flanagen spits out every verse with spite. The bass on this vinyl release, punches.
In fact the production overall is excellent and all aspects are crisp.

There really wasn't a very good image on the web for this release.
In the future,there will be scans and better pics of the actual releases when time permits.
Some bloggers provide you with actuals rips of the release. Since Vinyl is the foundation of Vipers & Vinyl, hunting for these gems is encouraged. If you don't have a record player then grab an MP3......

This LP was purchased at Salvation Army on 46th in NYC. Thanks to Paul Baphomet and Leslie for the tip. Trekked up there in the pouring rain on a Saturday morning and Holy Sheep Shit, was it worth it. Thanks again Paul and Leslie!

The deity on the album cover slashing the dude to ribbons is Narasimha, fourth incarnation of Vishnu.
