Description

Limited vinyl with bonus vinyl single Classic example of experimentation that occurred in the punk / post-punk scene in England in the late 70s / early 80s. This compilation has been over a decade in the making as this material has been ultra-rare for years. Amebix's music was as equally influenced by Motorhead and Discharge as it was by Warsaw, Joy Divison, and Killing Joke. Classic gloom and doom post-punk stuff here – loads of tribal drums and brutal metallic riffage. They were the band who created the sound that was later known as "crust punk" (or whatever you wanna call it). The spiderleg recordings collects their "No Sanctuary" 12in, "Winter" 7in, and "Who's the Enemy" 7in – all of which were released in the early 80s on the Spiderleg label (associated with Flux of Pink Indians and known for releasing vinyl by the Subhumans UK, Amebix, Antisect, and Flux of Pink Indians themselves). Bands like Nausea, Tragedy, Kylesa, Neurosis, His Hero Is Gone, Disfear, and lots of other would not exist without these guys. Track listing: 1. Battery Humans 2. Control 3. Progress? 4. Sanctuary 5.
