93 Demo by Health Hazard: A Raw Punk Masterpiece That Kicks You in the Teeth
If you’re into raw, unfiltered rock with a hardcore edge, 93 Demo by Health Hazard is the album that’ll rip your face off and leave you begging for more. Released in 1993 under the UK’s underground radar (literally "Not On Label"), this demo tape doesn’t mess around. It’s loud, pissed-off, and brutally honest—everything punk and hardcore should be.
The album slams you with twelve tracks of pure aggression, but two songs stick out like rusty nails: “Kill ‘Em All” and “Society’s Rejects.” Let me tell ya why these cuts are burned into my brain.
“Kill ‘Em All” isn’t just a Metallica ripoff title—it’s a war cry. The riffs hit like a sledgehammer to the skull, all jagged and relentless. You can practically smell the sweat-soaked basement where this was recorded. And those vocals? They’re not sung—they’re spat at you like venom. This track grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go till the last chord rings out. It’s the kind of song that makes you wanna punch something—or start a mosh pit in your living room.
Then there’s “Society’s Rejects,” which feels like a middle finger to anyone who ever told you you weren’t good enough. It’s fast, it’s dirty, and it’s got this vibe that screams, “Fuck the system!” The lyrics cut deep, calling out hypocrisy and societal crap without sugarcoating anything. It’s the anthem for anyone who’s ever felt like an outsider—and trust me, it hits hard.
Tracks like “Life In Fear” and “Break The Chains” keep the energy cranked up, while “Misry” drags you through some darker, heavier vibes. Every damn song on here has its own bite, its own reason to make you crank the volume till your ears bleed.
What’s wild about 93 Demo is how real it feels. No studio polish, no overproduced nonsense—just raw talent and rage bottled up in cassette form. These dudes didn’t care about fame or trends; they just wanted to scream their truth. And honestly? That’s what makes this album unforgettable.
So yeah, if you’re looking for something clean and polished, skip this. But if you want music that punches back, 93 Demo is essential listening. Just don’t blame me when your neighbors start complaining about the noise.
Oh, and one last thing—listening to this album somehow made me realize how much I hate my boss. Weird, huh?
