placebo records. 901 / 6 tracks / 1984

+ insert sheet and label catalog.

First EP by these ill-fated creeps. Their original singer died in a car accident after this EP was released; the original bass player died of AIDS, and the guitarist Doug Clark was institutionalized for insanity after the “Kingdom of Heaven” 12”. On this EP they play strange and gloomy hardcore - goth-core? Although there is a lot of experimental stuff here the faster tracks are really powerful, and the weirder stuff still sticks in your ear. A minor classic. [8]  

Seltsamer und düsterer Hardcore… Goth-Core, wenn man so will. Trotz des experimentelleren Ansatzes haben die schnelleren Songs echte Power; und auch die abgedrehteren bleiben im Ohr. Mini-Klassiker.
