DESCRIPTION FROM CRUCIAL BLAST:
     The Man Is The Bastard reissue campaign continues unabated with another vinyl release of freaked out, ultra-pissed avant power-violence. Like the title suggests, this LP features unfinished mid-90s recordings that were only recently completed, filling a crucial gap in the MITB chronology. Initially to be included on splits with Spazz and Despise You, these recordings have finally been compiled and released after all this time.
     The pummeling drumming and screaming bass leads on "Influence Peddlers" make it one of the most overtly metallic things I've heard from Man Is The Bastard, but it swerves straight into the sort of spastically angular riffage and blastbeat-riddled percussive chaos that the band was known for. Brutal stuff, splattered with shrieking electronic noise and analogue effects fuckery, injecting that signature psychedelic mayhem into their ultra-violent attack. The other two tracks follow suit for the most part, with heavy, serrated bass riffs and twitchy, nerve-shredding time signatures hammering you nonstop, slipping into some grueling, almost death-metal like sludge strafed with Hawkwindian electronics and bizarre synthlike noises, and quick bursts of complex rhythmic interplay that prog fans would dig if they can withstand the force of MITB's spiteful sonic assault. Then there's the horrific electronic noisescape that closes the side, the band shifting into Bastard Noise mode as they unfurl a lengthy sprawl of screeching feedback and smoldering low-end synth, monstrous gurgling glitchery and panic-inducing wave manipulations, evolving into a scathing anti-authoritarian screed, the vomitous beast-grunts clambering over washes of alien ambience and bursts of terrifying noise.
     The other half of this LP is even more enthralling. Featuring a single side-long song called "Long Pig", it sees Man Is The Bastard teaming up with Amber Asylum's Kris Force as they craft a massive, atmospheric prog-core epic that's one of the best things I've ever heard from these guys. It's also quite different from the rest of the stuff on this LP; early on, they weave a mysterious, glistening ambient soundscape that stretches out for several minutes, before everything suddenly erupts into a twisted, terrifying heaviness. As Force's ethereal singing drifts in high over the complex, weirdly melodic blast of discordant hardcore, their jagged bass riffs shift into infectious forms, swerving from ghostly doom-laden atmosphere to pummeling, sludge-encrusted prog to winding passages of hyper-spastic rhythmic violence. Force's voice remains at the center of it all, and while it's just as brutal and bludgeoning as anything else these guys have done, it's definitely a unique song in their catalog of work, almost sounding like some weird European / French prog rock outfit having a nervous breakdown when those airy, multi-tracked vocals appear over the lurching crush of the rhythm section. MITB fans are definitely going to want to witness this monster.
     Comes in gatefold packaging with a printed insert and a big foldout poster.   © CRUCIAL BLAST
