"I have it on vinyl but this is some of the all time best hardcore songs. I had the pleasure of listening to D.O.A. and Nickey Fingers in 94. I was a nobody and Nickey taught me gave me records before they came out. He also dj my outlaw party. My point is the this music can be replaced and niether can he. I really looked up to him and he is in my prayers. Thanks Nikie.

"Disciples of Annihilation were one of, if not THE hardest group around. Unfortunately one of their members (Nicky Fingers) died. The music is insane, fast and has some very humourous samples. Great bass drums, guitar riffs and samples from some of the greatest movies. A definite MUST BUY for someone into this sort of music."
"Fresh, crispy new groove!"

""But gee, we already have all three IFS compilations; if we already have DOA on those CDs, why buy this disc as well?" If you have to ask this question, then you just don't get it. This disc is the one and only CD release from Disciples of Annihilation, the trio of Italian-American kids from New York City who pretty much INVENTED speedcore techno.Of course, anyone with a TR-909 or similar drum machine can crank out techno with speeds exceeding 230 BPM; the trick is to make it halfway interesting. Here, DOA succeeds admirably. The disc starts of with the full version of TOTAL ANNIHILATION (shortened version available on IFS3) and then segues into a host of various gabber and speedcore tracks that make up the bulk of DOA's work. Aside from a couple of less-than-perfect excerpts, this stuff grabs hold of you and pushes your adrenaline to 11. You have been warned.Some folks may be turned off by the profanity and sexual references on this disc, but NEW YORK CITY SPEEDCORE was never meant to be family listening. This is the most complete record of one of American hardcore techno's seminal bands, and needs to be evaluated at least partially from that viewpoint. After all, even if you now consider Euromasters old hat, just remember the shock you probably experienced the first time you heard them.All in all, a great CD from Sal Mineo, Carl Carinci, and the dearly missed Nick Marchetti. If Heaven has a hardcore dance club, I hope to find Nicky Fingers working the decks there. Now go home and get your friggin' shinebox, newbie!"
Wow man .HARD
