It was clear in my opinion before I‘ve been listening to Total Death n‘ Live for the very first time that we couldn‘t expect a polished produced live album from the Swedish cult death thrashers SUICIDAL WINDS. Just because mastermind Peter Haglund and his four sidekicks have never been sound gourmets. And so the sound on Total Death n‘ Live is nicely raw and sounds like pure Death/Thrash has to be. A cross section of the career of SUICIDAL WINDS so far is offered. They are a band who never got a record deal with a bigger label to get more popular. There are tracks from the debut Winds Of Death like the title-track, Wrath Of The Slaughter and Rapehammer. Then Misanthropic Anger from the same-titled EP. The Mangler and Morbid Temptation come from Victims In Blood. And you can listen to the title-track of the limited EP Crush Us With Fire. From Wrath Of God there are Evils Eternal Power and The Road To Hell, followed by Demonic Prayer from the split From Conflict To Conquest with the Americans Gravewürm and the Aggression demo track Suicidal Death. And finally you can expect two cover versions (Sign Of Evil from Violent Force and Total Death from Kreator). Primitively and brutal SUICIDAL WINDS rage through twelve songs which has been recorded on the Festung Open Air 2006. The Road To Hell has been recorded in Rotterdam/Holland 2004. And the Kreator cover has been done in the studio 2004. Evilized vocals get accompanied by straight whipping guitars and thundering drums. So it shall be! Total Death n‘ Live is only for fans who love dirty Death/Thrash with a primitive production. All the others should keep their fingers away from that live record!
