An infamous collection of very early CB stuff, 341 songs in 90 minutes.
Many 'zines reviewed this as the most extreme Punk release that
ever came out of Italy, an unbelievable bloodbath of lo-fi rawness
going from thrashing Punk/Grind to the pure Noisecore nihilism of
the '90-'91 CB extremization. Over 3500 copies sold/traded, still
in stock today due to its importance. This tape is the roots of
italian Grindcore and the link between the end of an era (the unforgettable
RawPunk/HC of Italy's monsters of the '80s) and the beginning of
a new one. Each track on this is backed by a story and the absolute
friendship between The Crippler and The Bastard; in contrast with
a scene still very hostile/unfamiliar to Grindcore and to the play-fast-or-die
mentality. Compiled with extreme dedication w/ intros from ultrapopular
horror films (later re-used on 10000 grindcore records, but hell...
CB were kids at those times).
