 this was a random purchase and it paid off, i really dug it. i don't know too much about these guys other than they're from Sweden and they broke up after only 3 or 4 albums. this album is a collection of vinyl and comp. releases and a couple preview tracks for their then upcoming album Red On Chrome. tracks 1 & 2 are the preview tracks, 3 - 8, 10 & 11 are off various vinyls and 9 is off a comp. the album is remastered by Scott Hull (eventually i'll listen to a band he actually plays in) and other than tracks 10 and 11 the album sounds great. 10 and 11 are from an old split but the master tapes were lost so they pretty much just ripped audio from the 7-inch. this is grindy experimental hardcore (i've also seen them described as "progressive grindcore") that at times reminded of Daughters and bands of that nature. especially Daughters' first EP. i'm definitely gonna try and track down their full lengths
