ANTHRAX - PENIKUFESIN
A NICE FUCKIN' EP.
It was always on the EP's where Anthrax experimented the most, they unfortunately invented rap two years earlier on their I'm the Man EP. Penikufesin or Nisefukinep, Nice fucking EP spelled backwards was released in 1989. On this EP Anthrax tried to squeeze out a few extra dollars on their newfound fame. Simply by recording just one new song and adding a bunch of covers and live cuts and release it on vinyl.
Anthrax once again covered the French heavy metal band Trust, but this version of Anti-Social is sung in French instead of the English version they released on State of Euphoria. They also covers Sex Pistols with Friggin' in the Riggin that sounds more like an irish pub rock anthem than a thrash metal track. Parasite is of course an old Kiss tune. Sects is another Trust song and Pipeline was originally made by the Chantays. To be honest I have only heard Parasite and Anti-Social in their original form but it's always cool to hear Anthrax do covers since they are quite good at it, but lets be frank (bello) this is not the most exciting EP out there since it lacks new material, plus the band has covered Trust before.
The original track Now It's Dark is pretty good though, and Parasite sounds better when Anthrax plays it than the old Kiss version. You'll probably find this EP cheap and if you do, it's an alright buy even all their studio albums from the eighties is of a higher priority.
