Indestructible Noise Command or I.N.C. Giant Records(GRI6003-1). 1987. OG 1st Pressing.
New England was quite the uncommon place for metal acts to originate from in the 80's, especially thrash bands. One band from Bridgeport, Connecticut however was about to drop one of the forgotten gems of the 80's. That band was I.N.C. (Indestructible Noise Command). I.N.C. played a hyper, riff driven form of thrash with some seriously impressive guitar work. They signed to New York based label Giant Records and released their debut "Razorback" in 1987. Let's take a look at this gem of thrash!
The record opens with "I.N.C.", a 8 minute thrashing riff fest. Tony Fabrizi is an amazing rhythm guitarist, his hyper riffs are plentiful throughout the album. Each riff is captivating, not a single one is boring. I like the crunchy guitar production, it gives the guitars a distinct sound, which adds to the uniqueness of the record. Lead guitarist Erik Barath is CRIMINALLY underrated! His amazing solos are insane, especially his solos on "The Grip Of Death", "War Not Words", and "Anarchy". He gives Gary Holt, Alex Skolnick, Josh Christian, and Chris Lykins a run for their money! Dennis Gergely handles both vocals and bass duties, and he has some of the most recognizable vocals in thrash! He has a aggressive edge to his vocals, and his screams are ear piercing! His bass is HIGHLY audible, probably the most audible bass in thrash metal history along with Doug Keyser's bass on Watchtower's "Control And Resistance"! His bass is top notch, it is perfect. Drummer Gary Duguay does a wonderful job on this record. His drumming fits well in I.N.C. and his drums compliment the guitars and bass very well.
The songs here are just amazing. There isn't a single wasted moment to be found. "The Grip Of Death" has a sublime bass intro which sounds like something Cliff Burton would play. It sounds incredible, and it is a very creative intro. The title track is epic. I love the main riff, it sounds like impending doom that is about to devour anything in it's path! The demented laugh at the end of the track is the icing on the cake for me. "Fear" is about pollution of the environment, and the clean guitar sections which lead into a distorted riff sound excellent. The riffs here are among the best on the entire record. This is a killer track! Lastly, I'd like to mention "Passageway Through Purgatory" which contains one of the best intros in a thrash song ever. The melodic fret work from Fabrizi is flawless, and the lyrics are killer...
"I know now where i am, my death bed has been laid, Visions of my past life now begin to fade Now begins to fade... "
This record is a must have for all die-hard thrashers out there. The melodic guitar work, unique bass lines, vocals, and the band's knack for creative songwriting skill is what sets apart I.N.C. from the rest of the thrash metal crowd. If you are looking for some good obscure thrash, then look no further. I highly recommend this to fans of Lääz Rockit, Wargasm, Atrophy, and Nuclear Assault.
