Dropdead / Crossed Out split 5" a mint unplayed copy, long OOP. Archival copy from the vault.
Crushing split between Dropdead & Crossed Out.
This is some of the finest material by both bands. Actually in the case of Crossed Out its some of the ONLY material. Kind of a mind melter, but the Crossed Out 7? was recorded in September of ‘91, this split in February of ‘92, and their second split in October of ‘92. In other words the output of one of the most influential bands in extreme music was all laid to tape at various intervals over about 400 days (unless you count the demo where they’re not really full formed yet). One of the more striking aspects of this Crossed Out material is that it’s much more muddy and lofi than their previous 7?. It’s full of tape hiss, and has almost no treble whatsoever. The vocals are high in the mix and distorted as hell, with the guitar and bass making a thick wall of mud, and the drums sounding like a cave man beating on animal skins.
Dropdead has been a little more prolific but I’m pretty sure their tracks on here are still in the live set. About 2 minutes and change of high speed, lo-fi crusty grind core… or power violence, or whatever, and it sounds pretty much how they’ve sounded ever since. A blitzkrieg of simple speedy riffs, shrieking throat ripping vocals, and a collision of d-beatish parts, and SSD at double speed. It’s great how much the original hardcore paradigm is just simplified and compacted into the simplest most streamlined form here. Yea there’s bands that have taken it further or gone more extreme, but this is still fully recognizable as hardcore, even though every track runs like 15 or 20 seconds.
