Man Is The Bastard - Sum Of The Man " The Brutality Continues.."

Formed in Claremont, California back in 1991 and then disbanded in 1997, Man Is The Bastard were a pioneering hardcore punk band who contributed the name, and perhaps also the ethos, to the punk subgenre known as power violence. This album was the official re-release of their first album plus tracks from the "our earth's blood" 7inch, and splits with born against, bleeding rectum, and sinking body released under Vermiform Records in 1996. Contains 32 tracks, this album's sound was a brutal mix of complicated technical riffing and straight-up hardcore. Man is the Bastard is by no means an easy listen. Their songs are bludgeoning, sometimes painful, and very noisy.Using double Bass Guitar player which the bass's sound always drively distorted, brutally pounded with dual dual grinding voices, Man Is the Bastard also made the move of displacing the electric guitar from its long reign as the primary instrument of punk aggression. Their thematic emphasis on the primitive and mythological would continue in Man Is the Bastard records such as “Sum of the Men” and the split album with Bleeding Rectum. The fullest expression of these concerns appeared with the 7 inch EP entitled “Backward Species,” which combined an almost anthropological/New Historicist approach to humanity’s violent practices. If you are into Hardcore Punk or Power Violence shit, check this one out.
