Thursday, May 14: D.B.C., “The Genesis Explosion”
“The Genesis Explosion” was a clear improvement over D.B.C.’s earlier material, opening Universe with a touch more Voivod-y flair. The Canadian thrash act didn’t overtly ape their fellow countrymen, and the track owed just as much to the Bay Area scene as Montreal. But there was a touch of prog and a little less panic, especially in the lyrics. This was one of the cooler records to come out of the Combat roster in the late ‘80s, though apparently the label didn’t feel the same way and dropped D.B.C. a couple years later once the thrash bubble burst. It was too bad, because “The Genesis Explosion” had more personality and didn’t deserve to be written off so quickly.
