DESCRIPTION FROM CRUCIAL BLAST:
      A revelation of pioneering morbid punk. Finally starting to see some reissued material from this killer British deathpunk outfit, who were championed by Pushead back in the 80s, releasing their debut full-length Pictures Of Pain on his Pusmort label. Prior to that, though, Part 1 out their Funeral Parade EP, first released on an increasingly hard-to-find 7" but now reissued by Sacred Bones as an eye-popping deluxe 12" in gatefold packaging, lookin' fantastic and enhanced by the inclusion of a large zine-style booklet. This stuff is amazing, coming out of the London anarcho punk scene but playing something quite different, a macabre mutant sound that shared some similarities with their pals in Rudimentary Peni (whose Nick Blinko would provide Part 1 with some of their artwork during their career). Coming out in 1982, this record was in the vanguard of the death rock sound, dispensing aggressive riffing and flanger-fogged guitars beneath a delirium of profane, anti-religious lyrics and horrific imagery.
      This stuff is furious, but atmospheric, their driving tempos awash in gratuitous flange-drenched guitar and driven by bludgeoning bass; the singer's snotty howl feels familiar if you've listened to a lot of older British punk, but it's a perfect fit for this stuff, and the lyrics are uniquely demented. There's the shimmering fury of "Graveyard Song" and the droning, feedback n' electronic effects-splattered dirge of "Ghost", with that slithering bass up front in the mix, winding around the drummers frantic, off-kilter beats, the frenzied shouted vocals erupting into maniacal screams, but there's also a swirling, almost psychedelic vibe to some of these songs that comes through with the ghostly, echoing synthesizers laced throughout the record. This stuff is amazing, a missing link in the early death rock/post-punk realm that fans of both Rudimentary Peni and early Killing Joke should definitely check out. The record also comes with a digital download, and the I...Paraworm zine, a twenty-four page black and white newsprint booklet that features lots of bizarro artwork and morbid, surrealistic writing from member Ma-Kef (aka Mark Ferelli).   © CRUCIAL BLAST
