Cripple Bastards / W.B.I. 7”
release date:
1993
LINE-UP:
Giulio the Bastard – vocals
Alberto the Crippler – guitar
Michele Hoffman – drums
Label: Useless Records
Due to a mistake in reversing the songs on the reel-track, the final master came out much slower than how it was originally recorded. Even if the record plays at 33 rpm, the right speed is around 40 rpm, so listening to it at 45 rpm gives a better result.
CB on this were moving to a more structured Grind formula even if songs were no longer than 1 minute. GTB’s vocal-style was heavily inspired by Fear Of God. Recorded at Michele Hoffman’s practice-room connecting few mikes to a mixer going into a cassette deck.
CB’s cover of the EP has the photo of a Croatian soldier walking across a field of slaughtered Serbian victims, referring to the ’92 massacres in ex Yugoslavian territories.
