Strip Mind

If you’re a fan of Sully Erna, the wonderful heavy metal drummer in Godsmack, you’ll enjoy What’s In Your Mouth (1993). This was the only album released by the short-lived thrash metal band Strip Mind, and Erna’s first contract recording. This is pure thrash, without any pretensions to anything but unabashed vulgarity and direct-to-the-hypothalamus noise stimulation. Song titles such as “I Wanna Fuck Your Girlfriend” set the tone. But just listen to that potent drumming.
