Album Notes & Community Reviews

As a defining album of the mid-90s powerviolence scene, Spazz's 'La Revancha' pushes the boundaries of the genre by blending frantic hardcore tempos and sludgy breakdowns with a distinct sense of humor. The album’s abrasive, rapid-fire songs are interspersed with audio samples from kung fu films and feature unconventional instrumentation like banjos and saxophones, alongside a guest appearance from rapper Kool Keith. This combination of chaotic musical aggression and irreverent, self-aware comedy solidified Spazz's influential status and iconoclastic approach within extreme music.
