MULE SKINNER - Abuse

Actually I wanted to post some other records but I have to offer you this Cd first. I´m so glad that I got a copy of the MULE SKINNER Cd when it came out because it´s almost impossible to get it by now. Top notch Grindcore in the vein of old Terrorizer or 324. It´s so powerful, so good. I don´t know why this germ never has been rereleased. Read the comments at the myspace profile of the band - so many people are looking for a copy. Like their first 7" this Cd (-only) was released by small French record label SLUDGE Records. I don´t know if the pressing was so limited or if the distribution was so bad or if the owner of SLUDGE records lodges most of the copies under his bed. All I know is that it´s a shame that so few people have a copy or even heard of this musically destruction! In true grindcore tradition, Mule Skinner rip and tear their way through 23 intense tracks in about 35 odd minutes. Each track is a crushing, tornado of punk infused crusty grind with loads of blast beats, crushing breakdowns, odd riffs, grunted vocals and raw power. After 12 years this Cd didn´t lose it´s overwhelming crushing effect. Absolutely no metal here, just pure mid 90s audio violence. Don´t expect a high end production like some recent swedish grind acts have. This 12 years old! But it still rocks!!! Check it out!

The only perfect grindcore-album ever together with the band DISMEMBERED FETUS, buy the MULE SKINNER ALBUM at E-bay (totally overpriced but it's worth it).
