APARTMENT 213  1993-1997 Discography  CD   (625 Thrash)   11.98
1993-1997 Discography IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE FOR ORDER

Cleveland's infamous/legendary APARTMENT 213 is finally fully documented with this collection of ULTRA-brutal ultracore from the heydey of extreme American hardcore/powerviolence. Probably the only Midwestern band to ever actualize the same type of oatmeal-mouthed brutality that Infest and Crossed Out trafficked in, via insanely fast hardcore speeds and bonecrushing breakdowns. Apartment 213 went even further by injecting their caveman grindcore antics with loads of unsavory serial killer and horror/splatter references, power tool noise (forshadowing the industrial noise of LOCKWELD, which featured APARTMENT 213's Steve Makita), and a generally sociopathic/rust-belt take on lo-fi white-noise hyperspeed thrash. This disc spans the years '93-'97, and collects all of their vinyl output (the Vacancy and Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things 7"s), splits (w/Gehenna, Thug, Benumb, Dahmer, and Forced Expression), comp tracks, and the The Power of Tools demo. 40 tracks of raw sonic violence. Essential.
