Perhapsbest remembered for consisting of three guys named Tony: TonyPortaro (vocals, guitar), Tony Bono (bass), and Tony Scaglione, aswell as the fact that the latter temporarily replaced drummer DaveLombardo in Slayer during his first, fleeting split from the groupin 1987, New Jersey thrashers Whiplash never achieved more thanlocal cult success for their efforts. Naming themselves after thelegendary Metallica song that virtually defines the thrash metalgenre, Whiplash formed in late 1983 and recorded two demos beforesubmitting the aptly titled Thrash Till Death to New RenaissanceRecords 1985 Speed Metal Hell compilation. Signed by fledglingRoadrunner Records shortly thereafter, they debuted with Power AndPain that same year, and then quickly followed it with 1986’sTicket To Mayhem, which saw new drummer Joe Cangelosi stepping infor the briefly Slayer-bound Scaglione. The 90s were surely thebane of the thrash band, as even titans of the genre were lookingfor new ways for their music, like Load, Re-Load, Risk, and evenSlayers bouncy bed-shitting Diabolus In Musica. Change is notalways a bad thing but the mentality seemed to trickle on down toeven Whiplash, whose 1996 offering Cult Of One hardly rankes amongtheir top three albums. The new vocal slot was filled by Rob Gonzo,who is perhaps one of the most debilitating factors of this album.Gonzo has a vocal style very typical for the time, not terriblemind you, but full of the crass Phil Anselmo styled emotional huah,with a dash of Ozzy influence in places like the bridge of ApostleOf Truth. The album seems to begin where Insult To Injury left off,with some clean guitars that herald the chord smack down of Such IsThe Will. Even the grooves of the verse have some speedy fills butGonzos vocals doesnt really fit the track. The rest of the album isgroovy and just half-thrash. It goes from anything to Armored Saintto Down, Black Label Society and even Alice In Chains. Cult Of Oneisnt the worst 90s album from all those great 80s thrash bands butjust another example on how rough the 90s were for thosebands.
