Poison Idea - Feel The Darkness
Genre: Hardcore Punk, Heavy Metal
Date Of Release: 1990
Poison Idea are one of those bands that are unsung heroes that basically went unnoticed. It is a shame less talented 'punk rock" bands and just less talented bands and artists in general became more successful than these guys.
The closest Poison Idea ever got to mainstream exposure was when Pantera covered The Badge for the soundtrack of the 1994 film The Crow. Here Poison Idea successfully fuses the pummeling rhythm section of heavy metal with the three-chord speed and fury of hardcore punk and lace it all with hard rock and metal elements while this sonic stew is topped off with Jerry A's venomous vocals. Here Poison Idea created, not only their masterpiece with Feel The Darkness, but also one of the greatest albums of not only their respected genre/s, but also of all time.

It is an amazing album. If youre a fan of hard rock, heavy metal / thrash metal you will most likely love it or at least like some of the tracks.
