ANVIL BITCH - RISE TO OFFEND
THRASH WITH HIGH FALSETTO VOCALS.
Anvil Bitch was a rather shortlived thrash metal unit from Philadelphia. They only released one studio album back in 1986, it was released by New Renaissance. Their style had a slight speed metal or USPM vibe to it. Somewhat similar to what Nasty Savage but with a more high-pitched falsetto screamign vocalist in Gary Capriotti. If you're familiar with Hades this reminds me a bit of their early material as well. At times when Gary uses his extremely falsetto the band reminds me a bit of Texas underground metal band Militia, that you might be unfamiliar with due to them being quite obscure. But trust me the vocals are rather extreme but I like extreme falsetto vocals so for me that's a plus.
Rise to Offend contains twelve songs, "Lie Through your Teeth", "Life after Death" and the odd "Maggot Infestation" are among the best. it has some heavier moshing parts and some faster headbanging moments. I think this is an entertaining 80's metal release that has one leg in the US metal-scene and the other in the american thrash metal scene. If you find this vinyl, you better grab it quickly because it's getting rarer by the day.
