Animate Records recently published a 30-year retrospective re-issue of Blood Impulse to Destroy with the “lost” rough mix of the original, added photos, and the “Recognize Yourself” EP with undiscovered rarities. The cassette tape comes in a limited edition of 200.
Bring more of this pioneering grindcore release to light, the re-issue delves into the time when grindcore left its punk origins for the more disturbing metaphorical view of modernity as a time of death and disease that also influenced death metal.

Ayayay que rico!
Cassette: am I supposed to buy a Walkman, put on the foam earpads and pretend like I was there?
At least vinyl has a certain ritualistic appeal. It’s fragile, it requires care. Plus you get a piece of quality artwork to enjoy, or display – if that’s your thing.
What are you 17?
cassettes are cheap and fit in your pocket, vinyl is substitute for not having a fragile twink boyfriend to take care of…
Several flash drives fit into the butthole.
Yo Brett, you gonna add some DMX to the DLA or what hommie?
Since someone brought it up in a recent interview (hehe) it’s going to happen any day now!
“Last I heard, y’all niggaz was havin sex, with the SAME sex
I show no love, to homo thugs
Empty out, reloaded and throw more slugs
How you gonna explain fuckin a man?
Even if we squashed the beef, I ain’t touchin ya hand”
– Pastor Earl “DMX” Simmons

Fuck this hipster cassette bullshit. Probably these fags doesn’t want to release in proper formats (CD/digital) because of decades-old faggotry like “muh piracy hurr” or just to keep their snowflake “underground” status.
