Poison Idea - Latest will and testament
Holy mother of god!!! Poison idea has a new album and nobody knows about it! I mean, fuck man, it’s P.I. goddammit! One of the original and best hardcore/punk bands of all time!
The last tours were a disgrace, but Jerry and co. are untouchable in my book. ‘Pick your king’, ‘Record collectors…’ and ‘Kings of punk’ are some of the best hardcore records ever. But it’s ‘Feel the darkness’ that got them back at the top again. One of the most brutal, nihilistic discs of all time. You’d better get that one fucker!!
Anyways, Fuckin’ hell! Still can’t believe it! Pig Champion died earlier this year suffering from health problems and everyone believed P.I. was no more. Turned out Pig left us one final statement called ‘Latest will and testament’. ‘Farewell records’ is putting this one out and the artwork looks awesome! Nice booklet with some cool words from both Jerry A. and Mr. Champion. Only thing lacking is promotion guys! Gotta promote this baby!!!
The cd opens in style with ‘The number one’ and is followed with the punky ‘Jihad love’. Poison idea has always been about confronting lyrics and this time around they’re keeping no prisoners! ‘Novelty’ has that typical Pig Champion guitarriff that made me think of the mighty ‘Feel the darkness’ album.
The mix of hardcore, punk, crust and metal has been the band’s trademark for ages and ‘latest will and testament’ is a killer example of why the old dudes still kick younger bands’ asses on any day! Just listen to ‘With/Against’ or ‘Factor X’ and tell me I’m wrong!
Pig Champion R.I.P.! You sure left your mark on my musical carreer…
Score: 90/100
