Obscene Gesture

Fans of classic 80's crossover bands such as Cryptic Slaughter and Stormtroopers Of Death rejoice, as Obscene Gesture recreates the style perfectly, Living In Profanity being 21 short bursts of manic speedy thrash with straight hardcore vocals over the top. Also of interest is that the band features three members with ties to Agent Steel (two of them comprised the original rhythm section on that band's 1985 seminal debut Sceptics Apocalypse, while the third, guitarist Juan Garcia, is still with that band). While not exactly in line with the Exodus retro worship still in vogue at the moment, Obscene Gesture will probably appeal to those fans as well as true crossover aficionados.
