REVIEW: Doom - Total Doom Peaceville Records, 2001
6/10
Doom - Total Doom - cover art DOOM decided to go for the Discharge style when started rehearsing in mid '87. The newly formed Peaceville asked them to contribute songs to the first Peaceville release, the compilation "A Vile Peace" and DOOM with the help of Jim Whitley (NAPALM DEATH and RIPCORD) recorded three songs of which two appeared on "A Vile Peace". That led to the recording of 21 songs for the album "WAR CRIMES (INHUMAN BEINGS)". The album was apparently rushed but had a certain rough charm. At this time the band gigged constantly in the UK, building up a devoted following on the way. JOHN PEEL then became a fan and asked the band to record two sessions for his BBC Radio One show, which were subsequently released as a "Peel Session" album by Strange Fruit Records. Then the split LP "BURY THE DEBT (NOT THE DEAD)" (originally released with Swedish band NO SECURITY on one side on the Peaceville label) and the EP, "POLICE BASTARD" were released. In 1989 Doom completed a lengthy European tour, had several line up changes, reformed in 1992 with the original line up, toured Japan and recorded a 12" that was released on the Vinyl Japan label. This proved to be their last recording. This CD is a collection of 37 good quality brutal punk songs that on average range from 1 to not more than 2 ½ minutes. The packaging is great, since it comes on a nice digi-pack. Nice release from a band that I have not heard before and I was always curious to do so, because I have seen several bands wearing T-shirts with their logo in the past.
