I remember when DYSTOPIA's classic 1994 debut Human=Garbage came out, baffling hardcore kids and entrancing an entire generation of scuzz punks with their punishing,bizarre, flanger-soaked psychedelic doomcrust. This album, now available direct from Life Is Abuse after being originally released on the defunct Common Cause imprint, still stands up as a completely fucked up and utterly antisocial blast of weird, bass-heavy sludge and drugged, punked-out psych-deathmetal roar, with huge downtuned gunk riffs, fucking tortured seething vocals and intensely anti-human/anti-technology lyrics, shooting out gnarly negative energy like BUZZOV*EN and EYEHATEGOD, but on fire with ripping West COast extreme hardcore energy. Human=Garbage is so full of abrupt, disorientating shifts in tempo and heaviness and just an overall disturbed atmosphere, it amazes us that these guys managed to get so freaking huge back in the 1990's. This LP features 5 tracks of pulverizing psychedelic crustcore. This album is crucial in the extreme hardcore canon, and fans of fucked up, damaged-hardcore heaviness from this era (MAN IS THE BASTARD, GASP, CROSSED OUT, etc) cannot go without this album. "Love Earth-Hate People"!
