mystic records. mlp 06 / 8 tracks / 1984

mystic. / 2005 (?)

#1 - Ghetto-Way logo on front and black/blue-green-ish sleeve. #2 - Black & white cover, no record title on front and Mystic logo on front. #3 - “Valu Pak” with Burn 7” (w/o ps). #4 - 2005-ish reissues on Mystic in LP format, includes the Burn 7” tracks; 500 on green, 500 on gold vinyl. This band has nothing to do with the Bad Brains guitarist, in case you were wondering.

Pioneers of speedcore… Fast metallic hardcore with power & drive and without stupid posing. Production is good, too, well, at least by Mystic standards [7]

Einen ziemlichen Drive legen Dr Know auf dieser 12” an den Tag; wohl die einzige Band, die ordentlichen Metal-HC (nicht Crossover, nicht Speedcore) machen kann: viel Power, z.T. Black-Sabbath-mäßige Riffs, rauher Gesang, der weltenweit vom Gegröhle manch anderer Metalbands entfernt ist; und alles ohne Blut- und Nieten-Posiererei. (TB)

Tracks: god told me / mr freeze / the intruder / circle of fear // citizens of the world / life returns / crucified / fist fun
