Reviews
My version has pay no more than £3 and made in France on the label..- Edited 3 years agoSome of these LP listings on Corpus Christi appear to be bootlegs and they're listed as official which is really confusing. Can anyone sort this out? The official ones seem to have the following:
Matrix / Runout (A-side): CHRIST ITS 11 A-1
Matrix / Runout (B-side): CHRIST ITS 11 B-1
And the ones that appear to be bootlegs have:
Matrix / Runout (A-side (Variant 1)): CRUCIFIX A
Matrix / Runout (B-side (Variant 1)): CRUCIFIX B
or
Matrix / Runout (A-side (Variant 2)): [Scratched Out] A [Scratched Out]
Matrix / Runout (B-side (Variant 2)): [Scratched Out] B [Scratched Out]
Why are the latter two listed as official releases on Corpus Christi? Someone in Germany is selling a test pressing of one of these that is advertised as a numbered edition of 3 copies, so it seems the various bootlegs' origin might be Germany. I doubt Corpus Christi are going to number and distribute their test pressings. People are selling these colored vinyl bootlegs at high prices and they are listed as official which sucks for unsuspecting buyers. - As if Agnostic Front “Victim In Pain” was fronted by Darby Crash after a few months at Gold’s Gym. Amazing record.
One of the best 1980s hardcore punk records. Pure venom and anger. Wise lyrics. First song sounds like a bomb blast going off! I'd describe them as the closest thing to an American version of Discharge. Great band, still powerful. Punks all over the world wear their logo on patches, shirts, jackets, buttons, etc in appreciation and to stand together.- Excellent record. Powerful vocals. Strong delivery. Love it. Some of the best US HC.
This is what I call a 5. Perfect record, beginning to end. Excellent playing, strong lyrics, nice packaging. (That cover image is iconic.)
A lot of bands playing in this style just rewrite the same song over and over, but Crucifix wrote 14 different songs that work well together.
"Dehumanization" is an all time favorite of mine, but oddly I feel that none of their other material is particularly good. "Capitulation" is weak and the vocals are annoying. "Nineteen-eighty-four" is middling at best. And then the band gets to "Dehumanization" and it is a total transformation to greatness.
Of course this band gets many extra points for playing a style that very few bands in the USA played. Crucifix sounds (and looks) more like a U.K. band. Make that a U.K. band pumped full of U.S. hardcore adrenalin.
"Dehumanization" is a mandatory piece of punk rock history. If you don't have it, you're missing out on something awesome. Fortunately it is still in print and is distributed by Southern Records.
