DESCRIPTION FROM CRUCIAL BLAST:
   First released on CD back in 2006 by the long defunct British label Retribute Records, this is still the only full-length album to come from the fearsome Clevo powerviolence band Apartment 213, who took their name from the infamous abode of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. Made up of current and former members of Nekrofilth, Scarver's Calling, Schnauzer and Soulless, and fronted by the power-tool weilding madman Steve Makita from the industrial noise outfit Lockweld, Apartment 213 were one of the bands on this side of the country throughout the 1990s capable of handing out the same level of abuse as the West Coast powerviolence contingent. Mostly known for their skull-crushing 7"s and splits released on labels like Dark Empire and Bovine, the band took nearly a decade to finally unleash this sixteen song album, and it's still one of my favorite albums of violent blastcore from the oughts. This slab of speedbeast brutality has finally been reissued on vinyl, courtesy of Macedonian label Fuck Yoga. Here's the old review I did of the CD version:
    Apartment 213 are fucking back on the map with this new 16 song album. Back in the '90's, the Midwest couldn't really compete with California or the East Coast when it came to extreme hardcore. I mean, c'mon...Cali had the whole Slap A Ham contingent, bands like Infest and Crossed Out and Man Is The Bastard that are still unchallenged in terms of sheer annihilating brutality. And out east, we had NYC bands like Disassociate and Black Army Jacket and Disrupt that totally killed. Don't get us wrong, there were LOADS of hardcore bands between coasts that shredded, but most of 'em were more punk, less obliterating extremity. Enter Apartment 213, whose hyperspeed, ultra downtuned toolshed grind came together in the early 1990's out of the dark industrial wastes of Cleveland, and channeled brutal Infest-style powerviolence through a bunch of blue collar Ohio dudes armed with power tools and some serious misanthropy. On this new album, Apartment 213 hasn't changed their sound a bit, still dealing out super sludgy metal riffs, blast beats, and over-the-top aggro barked vocals, but with MUCH better production than their previous stuff. And they are still rooted in the DIY punk aesthetic and a love of experimental and industrial noise. You think extreme blasting speedcore sounds tough? Try adding some fucking power tools and crazed feedback noise to the assault. Their use of noise and post-industrial sonics makes alot of sense seeing as how vocalist Steve Makita is also one-half of legendary industrial noise duo Lockweld. Plus, the last track "Freak War" is a nightmarish noise collaboration between Apartment 213 and Eric Wood of Man Is The Bastard/Bastard Noise. Seriously crushing stuff. Cleveland Power Violence!
