![]() Then we did a CD version of 1000 with a final 500 vinyl repress. Then a second press of 500, or maybe 1000. I compiled everything, and then PESSIMISER helped manufacture it. So what the fuck, I contacted bands that I knew were down, and put together this comp. But those days were long gone, but I knew so many kids who fucking liked fastcore and skated. I love skating, I loved old THRASHERS with Puszone and MRR talking about skating. Possessed to Skate- Comp LP/ Later Cd issue 1000 total, I believe there's some red vinyl. They mentioned they had no idea what they were doing, so I offered to buy there stock of vinyl, get some covers printed and put it out. Well, about 1 month later I get this self-released EP of some great fastcore from the Bay Area, from a band no one ever heard about. Went into the studio and the engineer told us that he just recorded a band that sounded a lot like SPAZZ. Second Press = 2200 copies, remastered with black and red cover. First press = 1200, black and white cover. 1000 Pressed, can't remember if there's color vinyl or not.Ī who's-who of the early 1990s fastcore scene: EVOLVED TO OBLITERATION, APARTMENT 213, SHORT HATE TEMPER, S.B.C., PRETENTIOUS ASSHOLES, SPAZZ CHRISTMESS, REFORM CONTROL, NO LESS, DEADBODIESEVERYWHERE, MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE, STATE OF THE UNION, AGENTS OF SATAN, CHARLES BRONSON, PISSPOOR, ANSOJUAN, BENUMB, LACK OF INTEREST, POTATO JUSTICE, REMISSION, SLOBBER, NAILED DOWN and THE DREAD. I was extremely stoked to get these guys to do a record. PALE EXISTENCE started playing in the mid-90s and put out a great demo that was a mix between Swedish death metal and black metal. They've gone through a million line up changes, but their style hasn�t changed one bit: totally aggressive CARCASS style death metal. I used to see them at old death metal shows and was surprised when I heard those guys started a band. 800 black vinyl, 200 red.ĮXHUMED have been around for EVER. They went on to do a bunch of stuff, all of its rules. I was so stoked to do their debut Ep, I think it was the best thing they did. Rumors were bouncing around that there was this black-thrash band that was only bass/vocal/drums. One of the most brutal bands to come out of the West Bay. 2nd press 1000, blue cover of Neil Blender. 450 with Yellow Cover (goat), 50 limited yellow covers with pit picture. I think it should have been a one sided EP personally. I still think its the best CB stuff (the guitar tones rule on it), but I also think the Spazz stuff sucks so much ass that I wish we weren't on it. Everyone in CHARLES BRONSON ruled (rules!), so this was more of a friendship project than anything else. The main thing I like about doing records is working with people I love. Was later included on a Discography CD as well as released as a 10" Lp in Europe. Only 500 of these exist, Dan from Spazz and I spent days handscreening the covers. I cleared it with Steve, and asked Chris Slap-a-Ham to help me out. ![]() I called the pressing plant and found out that there were 500 LPs sitting in boxes down there, and that if I paid the invoice, they were mine. PLUTOCRACY (who I played drums for since 1989, and who just reformed in 1998) recorded this LP for Steve from ASSUCK's label in 92, yet after two years, nothing happened. I guess you could say I�ve been caught up in a couple of damage-recovery projects, and this was the first. Their first demo rules too, its more influenced by Bay Area thrash. I saw these guys open for VIO-LENCE and a ton of other thrash bands, and the funny thing was, they were too HC to fit in to the metal scene, and too metal to fit in the then-existing punk scene. This specific case was to do a posthumous release from San Francisco's MLS. This is an early example of a tradition I"m still trying to maintain�which is to release out of print, or over-looked hardcore. People heard these bands, and some people liked em enough to ask em to do future projects. I only made about 700 (because I was low on cash) but I think the original purpose worked. This split took tracks from both the ETO and NO LESS demos. The whole idea behind this was to document the explosion of brutal hardcore from the local West Bay scene. Although I put out releases before this (976/Plutocracy split EP, etc), this was the first release as a label.
