| LINE-UP:
Giulio the Bastard - vocals
Alberto the Crippler - guitar
Michele Hoffman - drums
NOTES:
>> released in 1994, no cat.
# mentioned, 1500 (or more?) copies made on different pressings,
no colored wax - first 300 had a slightly worse sound and were including
a yellow flyer giving skills on how to set the stereo equalizer
for a better listening. Further represses were made out of a different
master and sounded a bit more pumped on the bass frequencie. The
ep was re-printed at least 3 times.
>> each pressing had an insert/lyric-sheet
enclosed
>> recorded in 1994
ADDITIONAL QUOTES:
Japancore 'zine reviewed the CB's side of this as a scary mix of
early WRETCHED and FEAR OF GOD, probably no example could match
better. Back to the home recordings at Michele's practice-room (with
a couple new skills), CB reach a step forward in filthiness and
negativity. The songs here are ways faster and grind-oriented than
the previous split 7" with Social Genocide and can be seen
as a follow-up to the split with Patareni/"Life's built on
thoughts" sessions rather than to the CB's punky edge.
This split includes the very first versions of "Italia di merda",
"1974", "Images of war / Images of pain", songs
that gradually became some of the most popular anthems among CB
fans. The first time we played in Czech Republic (1998) we found
out there were hundreds kids begging for "Italia di merda"!
