I might have spoken too soon... Actually, this group might be closer to Crash than Rainy Sun. Anyway, SamCheongGyoYukDae are LeeBoRam (vocals and bass), LeeBoHyeon (guitars), and YuHanJu (drums).

As with the Ann's album, this CD has a somewhat unusual time stamp. I am pretty sure this CD was released in 1998. However, it also bears the mark "Sound Lab Inc. 1995.10," which seems to be the recording studio or something. Who knows...

Their music is, I should say, metal. I don't know what other category to put them in, though. It is very loud and filled with anger, hate and frustration (what have I missed?). This CD has 20 tracks (yes, you read it correct). However, all of them are under 3 minutes, some under one. So, it's more like a collection of licks and ideas, rather than fully developed pieces. That's my gripe about the album.

Other than that, I thought the music, the playing, and even the recording were done exceptionally well. Also the illustration by Lee, KyeongSeok is provocative and outstanding in my mind. I wish that they would develop fully some of their good musical ideas and produce solid tracks.

Bottom line: Well, you know what to do...

I believe this is their one and only album. For some reason, this album also has the copyright for 1995 for recording although the album came out in 1998.

They are doing a very loud rock, pouring out their anger and frustration. Their musical sense and sound engineering seem to be quite good although lyrics seem to be irrelevant. My only real gripe is that they don't seem to have one complete song. The whole album sounds like a collection of musical ideas.
