Extreme Noise Terror - A Holocaust In Your Head

Finally, I have some time off work and have been participating in volume induced acitvation therapy to repair my fractured synapses. This is a good way to get on with posting. Sometime in the mid '80s, I was listening to The Saintly Peel and he said something like [apologies, can't do the accent] "my lad advised me to go and see this band so I went over to Ipswich to see them. Very energetic it was too! They are currently unsigned but not for long I bet. Here's Extreme Noise Terror." He proceeded to play a recording of the entire gig. It was a short gig, but it's still playing in my head nearly 40 years later. I can't even picture the room that I was in, just an overwhelming feeling of what the fuck. Some smartarse journo went on to call things like this grindcore but that term didn't exist then. I still think of it as hardcore anarcho-punk. So what.

Initially released on vinyl on Head Eruption Records in 1989. This is a lossless rip of the CD released on Japan's Toy's Factory in 1991. I think that this is the only digital version that includes the opening track "Statement".
