You know every artist has something in their catalog that they try to forget or completely ignore at least. And for Jeff Scott Soto, this is that record. Done for fun with a bunch of friends and never an intention to release it yet somehow it still got released. Recorded way back in 1992, it finally saw the light of day on November 12, 2009. What could be so bad that the artist cringes at its mention, well I am not sure how to put this. You know we discussed his R Rated, raunchy, parody album with the band Skrapp Mettle a couple weeks ago…Well, this makes Skrapp Mettle look like The Wiggles or even Sesame Street. This is NC-17 or even X-Rated material. I think I may have found the WORST ALBUM EVER MADE!!! And I am not being overly dramatic. I truly think this could be it.

Who were the perverted minds behind this project? It was Jens Johansson (Keyboards) and Anders Johansson (drums) both from Jeff’s time with Yngwie Malmsteen. On bass it was rounded out with Jonas Helborg and of course Jeff Scott Soto on vocals.
Their identities were supposed to be hidden by the aliases for the album of Pedro Herrera (Jens), Manuel Gonzales (Anders), Jesus Ruiz (Jonas) and Umberto Torres (Jeff). This mostly Swedish band was using Mexican aliases because the story behind the band was that they were the Long Lost Mexican Masters of Filth Metal called Bakteria. Not very politically correct nowadays. I don’t think this would go over well now.

It is pure and utter filth. There are songs about Beastiality (“Platypus Beastiality”), Necrophilia (“Sea Corpse” and “Hospital F#@kfest”), Sex with anything that moves, pooping, killing and castration (“Castrate With A Rusty Skate”). I’m not going to list the song titles as you can read them on the picture of the back cover, but know this is not funny in any way as they really pushed the boundaries too much on this one. Skrapp Mettle at least had a little humor, this one did not. Maybe if I was 15 and had the most twisted, sick sense of humor, but not anymore.

Musically, it is pretty freaking heavy. Uptempo, speed metal vibes at time and as the sticker says, a mixture of Metal/Sludge/Crust/Punk. All I know is it sucks. Jeff sings in almost a growl, that is deep and completely unrecognizable as it is borderline guttural vocals at times. I listened to this in the car on the drive home from work one day and I thought to myself, “If I have a wreck and die, the police and my family are going to wonder what the hell I was in to with that crap playing in my car.” I was actually a little embarrassed to be listening to it. I am a little embarrassed to actually own this and have it in the collection, but my Soto Collection isn’t complete without it sadly.

My Overall Score is a 0.0 out of 5.0 Stars! And that is being nice. It is the WORST ALBUM I HAVE EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE!!!
If you want to subject yourself to this…have at it…

There was another group that pretended to be a Mexican drug cartel, Brujeria were guys from Faith No More, Fear Factory and other bands. The difference between Brujeria and this is that Brujeria actually recorded music. I don’t know what the hell this is or why anyone thought they shouldn’t destroy the recordings when they were done.

Glad you felt this way. Otherwise would have wondered about your sense of humour. What I have read/heard Jens has a peculiar sense of humour.
Agree with Deke, should try sneaking this one in as the last one to sign….even if for just to see the reaction.

When I saw the title it reminded me of an indie record store i used to go to back in the day. You’d walk in and every time there’d be this vinyl record on the shelf called “Songs About Fucking.” It had a cartoon of a woman having a particularly intense orgasm. Turns it was by a band called Big Black and it’s pretty well regarded

This is ridiculously horrific. Years ago on a camping trip with friends, I put every vile swear word I could think of on a Scrabble game board, and everyone got a laugh out of it. Juvenile humor, absolutely. But for these reasonably-talented artists to make this album, then have it somehow released, is really astonishing.
