Before Tombs showed up on the scene and blew everyone away with their heavy-duty blackened noise-rock assault, before Versoma, Mike Hill developed a lethal brand of grinding, misanthropic noise-rock in Anodyne, a NY-based band that broke up a few years ago and which never got much recognition outside of their hometown. But these guys were one of the most vicious bands I ever had the pleasure of seeing live, their brutal combo of modern metallic heaviness and Am Rep skuzz and grindcore speed coming off like a carbomb, an explosive and violent performance that had one feeling that the band could come rushing off the stage any minute and clobber you over the head with their instruments. The violence of their live set didn't translate completely to their recorded output, but Anodyne's releases were still sufficiently ferocious and heavy. This 7" from 2001 came out on the now (presumably) defunct Alone Records, a four song blast of unrelenting anger formed from ugly dissonant riffs, blazing blastbeats, choked desperate screams and short chaotic songs that race by so fast the EP is over in a matter of minutes. This is one of the rawest recordings that Anodyne released during their career, and some of their ugliest tracks. Features the songs "RRP", "Crop Circle", "Dreaming Mind Of The Masses", "Hecate". Highly recommended to fans of Fight Amp, Playing Enemy, Engineer, KEN Mode, Breather Resist and Coalesce.
