Untitled + Raw is the new Cromok album then – it features 10 new tracks (which constitute the “new album” part), plus six live performances that might have been better left on the shelves to gather dust. Three tracks each from performances in Sydney (1989) and Wollongong (1988) suffer so much from bad audio quality that they do no favours for the band.

Untitled + Raw might not be the most gripping or inspired of Cromok’s albums, but it’s an uncompromising no-holds-barred and take-no-prisoners metal-fest. Resistance is not recommended.
