Description
CD REISSUE OF THE CULT 2002 ALBUM FROM ABSCESS, THE US SICKODELIC ACT FEATURING AUTOPSY MEMBERS. NOW INCLUDING 15 BONUS TRACKS.
Abscess hailed from Oakland California, started life in 1994 & is best described as "Sickadelic Gore Metal". Chris Reifert & Danny Coralles are both longstanding members of Death Metal legends Autopsy which was signed to Peaceville for 4 albums in the early 90's, before making a triumphant return from the grave in 2009. Chris also started his career in the 80's with the highly influential extreme metal band, Death. In the wake of the original cessation of Autopsy in the mid-90s, Abscess (with the core line-up completed by Clint Bower) took the mantle of extremity & notoriety to new depths with a string of albums & 7" releases spanning 15 years.
In 2002, Abscess signed to Peaceville Records & recorded SickCore classic, 'Through The Cracks Of Death' at Different Fur Recording Studios in San Francisco; the band already being very familiar with the studio as they recorded the seminal Autopsy album 'Mental Funeral' there in 1990. Abscess went on to record further albums in the form of Horrorhammer & the band's brutal farewell slab of decadent darkness, 'Dawn Of Inhumanity'.
This new CD edition of the long out of print 'Through The Cracks Of Death' album notably contains an expansive selection of bonus material from the band's more obscure catalogue & archive, with rarities from an assortment of 7", demo & split releases.
