Products similar to The Battle Of The Ivory Plains...
The Sane Asylum - Blind Illusion
One of the finest and most interesting thrash performances of the eighties.
Vocals are the weakest aspect, and the band never recorded anything else.
Sounds Of The Animal Kingdom - Brutal Truth
Fast.
Little substance.
Perspective - Jason Becker
More Jason Becker material, in spite of his condition.
Some experiments are less successful.
Need To Control - Brutal Truth
More consistent fusion of styles.
Less variety as a result.
Kill Trend Suicide - Brutal Truth
Powerful performance.
Repetitive, and only an E.P.
Goodbye Cruel World: Live & Rare Tracks - Brutal Truth
Heavy Metal - 1999
Extreme Conditions Demand Extreme Responses - Brutal Truth
Surprisingly varied and superior death-grind.
Falls into repetition after a while.
Blackberry Jams - Jason Becker
Some more material unearthed from Becker's all-too-brief musical career.
Even less consistent than the previous collection.
All Star Blues Jam - Bob Margolin
You hear a live recording
None
