Cripple Bastards – Degradation/Elimination Of The Robot Swine-Pig / More Frustrations

My copy not only has the cover for SUPPRESSION upside down(if spine is facing to the left)but also reads SUPPRESSION / CRIPPLE BASTARDS slip LP on the spine rather than split LP.

This is probably (along with the split EPs w/PRAPARATION H, Japan's rad CARCASS GRINDER & I.R.F) my favorite C.B's release. They have so many eras (each with its own goal & aesthetic) and I've just always had a particular fondness for the '94-'96 period. The recordings were great. the musicianship extraordinary (just SO wicked fast and tight, like old NEGAZIONE at 78 rpm speed crossed with EXTREME NOISE TERROR split LP w/CHAOS UK-era on steroids & speed), the songs were just great, the vocals were mind-blowingly insane, and there was still enough noise to satisfy fans of the early C.B. cassette releases in the early 90's. So you'd still get at least a nice dose of FEAR OF GOD (Swiss) done Italian style. Just simply some of the most extreme hardcore/grind/noise of the era. So being that the C.B./SUPPRESSION split LP's still floating around for very reasonable prices, if you've flirted w/buying a C.B. record you can't go wrong! I played the hell outta this record when it came out and still pull it out to this day, 19 years later. P.S. This is a review of the C.B side only, although the SUPPRESSION side is quite impressive.
