Stormtroopers Of Death - Rehearsal November 1985

Review by Roman Mittermayr

The Stormtroopers of Death released their debut album, Rehearsal November 1985, in 1986, and it quickly gained a reputation as a classic in the crossover thrash genre. The album features 24 tracks that showcase the band's unique blend of hardcore punk and thrash metal, and it's a relentless assault on the senses from start to finish.

The album opens with the track "March of the S.O.D.," which sets the tone for the rest of the record with its heavy riffs and aggressive vocals. From there, the band doesn't let up, delivering fast-paced tracks like "Sargent D and the S.O.D." and "Milano Mosh" that are sure to get any mosh pit going.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Speak English or Die," which features lyrics that are controversial and offensive, but also hilarious in their absurdity. The song has become a fan favorite over the years, and it's a perfect example of the band's irreverent sense of humor.
