Tortoise Corpse
An obscure Welsh band, Tortoise Corpse's
World's Got A Problem mixes gruff vocals, a healthy
NWOBHM influence, and a slight Motorhead-ish style
(musically, not vocally).
The result is interesting, though ultimately not all that
exciting (a substandard production doesn't help much).
By contrast, the later
Standard Of Misery brightens things
considerably, with a much-improved production and improved
songwriting -- here, the style is more along the lines of power
metal, a bit thrashy at times, and in general much more quirky
than the first album, due in large part to the stylish guitarwork
of Tim Hamill (also much improved from the first album).
In short,
World's Got A Problem isn't much, but
Standard Of Misery is quite interesting.
