West Bay all day! Limited to 500 on black vinyl; co-release with From the Head of Zeus Records.

The combination of these two bands on one release is guaranteed to melt your face off. The legendary SUPPRESSION drop 19 bursts of noise-laden blasting violence, pushing their unique style of grinding thrash to the outer limits. This has to be heard to be believed; totally distilled brutality. Formulaic poser-violence bands prepare to get schooled in original mayhem. MELLOW HARSHER from Wisconsin refine their brand of West Bay influenced-pinch-harmonic grindcore to perfection, as if the spirits of AGENTS OF SATAN, LAUGHING DOG and THE KILL were channeled into the corn fields of Wisconsin. If you smoke it, they will grind. The icing on this cake is cover art by the legendary MORBID MARK, no fucking joke. Co-release between Mak Okul and 625. Limited to 500 copies; download card included for those who don’t know what a cassette tape is.
This is the final release of Wisconsin brutality unit SxFxN, which includes six final tracks and a collection of earlier recordings documenting their output since 2006.
