Drop Dead

by Siege

Drop Dead cover art

Compiling a legendary 1984 demo tape alongside several compilation tracks, 'Drop Dead' documents the ferocious, missing link between traditional hardcore punk and extreme metal. The obscure Massachusetts band pushed tempos into completely unhinged blast-beat territory, pairing their abrasive speed with intensely bleak, socio-political nihilism. Though largely ignored in their active era, these fleeting recordings are universally credited with inventing the foundations of both grindcore and powerviolence.
