This CD is more of a collection of cover than an actual

full length release. HAEMORRAGE cover a large spectrum of genres

and bands, all of which have helped build up their particular

crude, basic yet very phlegmy style. From Crossover/Hard Core

with CRYPTIC SLAUGHTER and SUICIDAL TENDENCIES; to Grindcore and

Goregrind with REGURGITATE, CARCASS and DEFECATION to sheer Death

Metal with ENTOMBED (old stuff of course) and even Hard Rock (UFO).

While the songs originally were absolutely different, the HAEMORAGE

factor succeds in giving the CD a meaning for the entire length,

Lugubrious’s CARCASSish/IPETIGOish vocals suits tracks like “Pysosified”,

“Disgorging Foetus” and “Dear Uncle Creepy”

very fittingly, All the covers are so damn convincing you can

easily identify which angle of the music has been ripped to construct

thet hedgepodge of old school core/grind/death which is HAEMORRAGE

today. While I am not incredibly fond of only-cover albums, especially

from a single band, this CD makes me think twice. Actually one

song, the sixth is an unreleased track from the very band, and

it’s darn IMPETIGO in pattern and style, so there’s something

thoroughly HAEMORRAGE as well to taste. On a personal note, I

want to share that I myself grew up with THIS kind of music, while

modern day fanzines make it seems as if in the 80’s everybody

was ONLY listening to BATHORY, SODOM and EXODUS, I would like

to show them the titles that were selected in this CD, there was

a huge crossover between Hard Core and Death Metal in half/late

80’s which was very blurred at the beginning, before the genres

split up so neatly… those days might never be back but bands

like HAEMORRAGE makes the nostalgy sweeter.
