Review of Manson Youth Only Time Will Tell (1986) Zorro Records

"Critical meltdown snapping a loud volumne of maniac speed, driving with vital punchesthat break the doors down comes a tough, split album out of germant that keeps theword radical alive. Two bands share the bill here, the power-packed Hostages of Ayatollahand the furious Manson Youth. Both sides are titled as if their own seperate disc.Hostages of Ayatollah's Kaaba Kaaba Hey rips into ten lightning blastingtracks fill of stampeding fury that bashes with a total exertion of talent and force.Upfront guitar vigor saturates the change and pumps out a raw buzzsawing roar thatgrins with havoc licks and m,aniac strumming. Tongue flailing vocals spit out wildlywith a gigantic charisma, as the native German language predominates here. This band hasthe capacity to ravage, which proves effective on this, their second release. Flip thisblack vinyl slab over and welcome yourself to Manson Youth's Only Time Will Tell,eight rapid cuts of brutal thrash run amok, combating a barrage of nailing bass plucksand quick buzzing guitar screeching. Features Yvonne on vocals, who also sings withCombat Not Conform, and her voice lunges straight from the larnyx to push outthe lengthy lyrics in a vein similar to Penelope Houston of the Avengers. Thehurling persistence of Manson Youth, keeps the fire burning and a good debut. The LP comes with a poster and is on Zorro."
