2004 tribute album on black vinyl with insert

The band Heresy was hailing from a tiny village outside Stoke-on-Trent, UK and they started out as a three piece politically-themed fast hardcore punk formed by Reevsy (guitar/vocals) and his 15 year old cousin Steve, on drums. Influenced by Discharge and the fastest US HC bands like MDC, Dirty Rotten Imbeciles and especially Siege, Heresy were lucky to have the formidable talents of Steve on drums, though young, he put himself through a punishing daily rehearsal schedule, such that he was arguably the fastest drummer in the world when they entered the local Nottingham no-budget Pavilion Studios just before Xmas 1985 to record the “Never Healed” flexi. The six tracks included were blisteringly fast thrash with non-existent production, but the proto-metalcore riffs in the songs attracted metal fans to the band as well as the usual hardcore punk crowd. At this time, Heresy would often play in the The Mermaid pub in Birmingham (usually sharing the bill with the still unsigned Napalm Death), and it was noticeable that both bands’ drummers were engaged in a kind of friendly rivalry to see who could play fastest on the night. Music was accelerated to superhuman speeds, and grindcore had its birthplace in early 1986. The band went full out with their Do It Yourself attitude for another 8 months, but, ultimately line up problems lead to the band splitting up in December 1988. Even though the band had a relativy short career they still managed to leave a huge mark on the extreme metal scene and here we have 23 bands from all over the globe paying tribute to this band all in their own style
