Void - Condensed Flesh (1981)

Void was a Washington D.C.-based hardcore punk/crossover thrash band. They were one of the first hardcore outfits to fuse hardcore and some heavy metal in a way most hardcore and metal fans could accept, paving the way for bands such as The Melvins, who created a more commercially successful hybrid of the two genres. They were one of the first local bands popular in the D.C. scene that was from outside the Beltway, hailing from Columbia, Maryland, a suburb located between D.C. and Baltimore.

This release is in fact their only official release as a band ever. They did the great split with Faith (posted some other time), but this EP is the only record they released solo. I find this EP one of the most interesting releases that came out of the D.C.-punk scene from 1980-1984. Listen to it, it's awesome, and over in 7 minutes.

Ja, lijkt me tof!

Niet dat dit echt een genre is dat ik elk moment van de dag op kan zetten, maar zo af en toe vind dit heerlijk.

Ja, af en toe is het ook heerlijk. Ik heb vaak van die dagen dat ik niets anders luister. Kan je van harte de documentaire American Hardcore uit 2006 aanraden, makkelijk te downloaden. Echt een must-see!
