Action - Terror (1995)

   The early '90s have brought many new things to the ex-socialist republics of Eastern Europe, and that was also correct about the ways of entertaining. From another perspective and with different words the Western filth have found new markets, that was mostly represented in drug consume, gambling, prostitution and organized crime.
   This topic served as main concept of the former rock 'n' roll band called Sex Action. The name change also meant style change influenced mostly by bands like White Zombie, Body Count and Pantera. The heavier sound of groove metal on the side of exaggeratedly violent lyrics showed a new perspective into the local mainstream metal scene that was used to cheesy heavy metal bands. It was an all-round modern and extraordinary update that was also expressed in stage appearence, and older local bands simply seemed lame with their fluffy hair and leather uniforms on the side of the tattooed bandana wearing guys who looked liked having criminal record too. After the first Action album, that sparked wide attention with it's unusual and scandalous topics, "Terror" was like a great sequel. The album was musically more unified, more groovy and also showed musical development. Of course the obscure picture they've introduced was more like extreme than rational, like negative utopia that could be compared to the tone of the "Sin City" graphic novels. Even though the band wasn't so influental and didn't gain so wide attention as they deserved, their hardcore/groove metal period counted unique in the small local scene.
