Humans' first cassette release from 1993.
Heavy as fuck and funny as shit 'Monty Python Death Metal' (as I believe the band used to refer to themselves as) good enough to scare the shit out of your neighbours with. Those of you who come here for the jangly guitar noodlings of Flying Nun's uglier cast offs might want to ignore this one. Those who dig heavy sounds, jump right in.... it's warm in here! Napalm Death / Entombed fans rejoice......:)
Even this first cassette release shows a band in fine form. I saw them play live several times over the years and they were always formidably well rehearsed. I think they were practising three times a week even when Vaughn was in the Panthers, so they were no slouches! This release also features Matt Alien on Vocal duties. A bit of history; later in the 90's I was approached by Matt who thought we should get together & have a jam. Vaughn (Human bassist) also showed up for that session and that was the beginning of The Black Panthers. So we were essentially half of this lineup. Vaughn gave the Panthers a much heavier bottom end with his top string being tuned to a B. Changed the band dynamic considerably.
If you dig this stuff then check out their back catalogue. Quite a few recordings there. Here's a live vid for your perusal..... What you see is what you get!
