Out of stock

Rare original 1991 edition on Earache of the first avantgarde jazz / grindcore album by the trio of Zorn, Laswell and Napalm Death's Mick Harris.

condition (record/cover): EX+ / EX- (very light wear)
A brutalizing and deranged melding of atonal jazz skronk and remorseless death metal grind, which is brought to us by avant-garde alto saxophonist and man about New York City John Zorn, bassist extraordinaire Bill Laswell, and one-time Napalm Death drummer Mick Harris. The ever-adventurous Zorn founded Painkiller in 1991, impressed by the intensity of grindcore, and on that same year's Guts of a Virgin the trio set out to produce music that is every bit as challenging (and off-putting to normally adjusted human ears) as free jazz at its most uncompromising.
