ghastly records. gb 0001 / 10 tracks / 1982/3

4 test pressings in regular sleeve, black vinyl with generic red test press labels with handwriting. 1000 regular copies on blood red vinyl, hand-colored cover. Some of the copies that were sold later don’t have the hand coloring on the sleeve. + lyric sheet and flyer. All tracks except for “Sanctioned Violence” rerelased on the 2004 CD “Talking to the Dead” (Ghastly Records) along with demos and live tracks.

The main attraction of this EP is Samhain's Eerie Von who is playing drums. The rest of the music is not too memorable; fast, simple, generic, unmelodic hardcore with a somewhat dull production. OK but nothing special. (KS) [6]  

An für sich eine nicht besonders aufregende Platte; eigentlich nur interessant, weil Eerie Von, der spätere Samhain-Bassist hier Schlagzeug spielt. Alle 10 Songs sind weder besonders einfallsreich gespielt noch gut aufgenommen, einfacher HC ohne Melodien. Dafür recht liebevolle Aufmachung. (KS)

Tracks: blood lust / i’m gonna be sick / happy song / inferior / small minds think small / talking to the dead / sanctioned violence / let’s molest 10 yr olds / one dead low-life / that’s alright, that’s ok
