I was happy to see about half of Razor’s set last night. I went to an early show in Sacramento, then hustled over to the Metro for CDF. I walked in and my glasses fogged up. It was packed and hot, and people were going crazy for the band. The video is a bit obstructed, but I did my best. 1985 me can’t believe I saw this band. They were great!

It’s Tour Manager Doug Tuesday! I EQ’d this one a while back and I thought it sounded great, and it does sound nice and full but there is no/very little snare drum in the mix. Maybe I need to give this the izotope treatment and repost.
Anyway, here is Doug’s recording of Razor in their prime. I bought the Evil Invaders LP when it was released in 1985 and I never realized that they had released 2 albums before EI… I don’t recall those getting distribution in the US. I loved that EI album, it ripped.
I finally got to see them in 2016 at California Death Fest along with Nuclear Assault. Original guitarist Dave Carlo is partially blind, it was pretty amazing to see him perform in person.
HUGE thanks to Doug for recording their opening set for Slayer. Like I said, it sounds pretty damn nice. Needs more snare.
