Man is the Bastard- Sum of the Men CD

Review:

Originally released on Sam McPheeters' Vermiform records, this long-awaited reissue of the ancient MAN IS THE BASTARD 12" is finally available again! Over 30 tracks of "powerviolence" bliss, this is what raw, dirty punk sludge is all about! Eventually turning into the all-noise (and aptly titled) BASTARD NOISE, this release showcases MITB at their peak of instrument-based punk/sludge mix with experimental weirdness. Along with the debut "Sum of the Men" LP, this also has the material from the "Our Earth's Blood" 7", and tracks from splits with Born Against, Bleeding Rectum and Sinking Body. Fully remastered, this also contains a solid booklet with all of the lyrics. Yeah, this totally rules.... and these dudes are the ones who coined the term "powerviolence" too; basically created a genre. Bad-ass. (2008) (CM Distro)
