ANTHRAX Penikufesin Heavy Metal Album Cover Gallery & 12" Vinyl LP Discography Information #vinylrecords

Album Description:

Anthrax's "Penikufesin" Antisocial French Version 12" Vinyl LP is a must-have for any hardcore metal enthusiast or collector. This rare gem was originally released in 1989 and features six tracks that are sure to get your adrenaline pumping.

The title track "Antisocial" is a cover of the French punk rock band Trust and was one of the highlights of Anthrax's live shows during this period. The French version of the song adds a unique twist to the already intense and fast-paced thrash metal sound of the original version. The lyrics are translated into French, and the band's performance is raw and powerful, capturing the energy and aggression of their live shows.

The rest of the tracks on the LP are equally impressive. "Friggin' in the Riggin'" is a cover of the Sex Pistols, and Anthrax's version adds their own heavy metal twist to the classic punk track. "Parasite" and "Le Sects" are both original tracks, and they showcase the band's songwriting skills and musicianship.

One of the most interesting things about this LP is that it was only released in France, making it a rare find for collectors outside of Europe. The cover art features a graffiti-style design that adds to the punk rock aesthetic of the album.

The production quality of the LP is also noteworthy. The sound is clean and well-balanced, allowing the listener to hear every instrument and the raw power of the vocals. The vinyl itself is a high-quality pressing, and the grooves are deep and crisp.
