This is the version that the label at the time asked the band to re-record, likely because it was too raw for their taste. So, basically, this one here is the real deal. This is very raw black thrashing metal: forget about polished or virtuoso crap. What we have here is barebones metal pretty much devoid of melody, just raspy vocals complemented by gritty guitar work and sometimes tin-can sounding drums, something that usually annoys me, but here it just works. This has a very demo-like sound, and I have a hard time picturing this sounding better with a more polished sound (I haven't heard the re-recorded 1996 album). There's a DIY vibe going on here; nothing flashy, just the guys going at it with their respective instruments and not caring about their music being accessible. I've found this one to be quite addictive.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACK LIST:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MORIBUND RECORDS","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":67872149995619,"sku":"768586033712","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/2553\/7123\/files\/image_5d143a4b-fb9b-4830-880b-a03bcf936a53.jpg?v=1793924123","url":"https:\/\/lunchboxrecords.com\/products\/768586033712","provider":"Lunchbox Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
