C.S.S.O.  Collection  CD   (Obliteration)   13.98


Back in stock after being out of print and completely unobtainable for ages. This crucial, essential collection of early EP and comp tracks from our all-time favorite psychedelic Japanese acid-rock/grindcore/garage rock outfit is once again available, this time as a Japanese import issued via the bands own Obliteration Records imprint.

This CD features a crapload of songs, 45 in all, from their split EP's with Meat Shits, Vivisection, Demisor, Mastuc Scum, Dead Infection, and Bloody Vice, along with unreleased studio sessions dating back to 1994, and their stuff from the Grindwork comp CD and Shit Hits Vol. 2 compilation, all circa 1993-2000. The earlier recordings from C.S.S.O. are slightly more straightforward grindcore than their more recent releases, but are still completely fucked. Absurdly low starving-lion growling vocals and what can only described as """"evil duck"""" vocals duel over ripping grind that falls somewhere between Carcass, Anal Cunt, and The Boredoms, with weird bass drops, tape dropouts and tape-speed fuckery, psychedelic guitar leads, a truly nasty bass guitar sound, and other assorted oddness. But as the retrospective continues, you can start to hear the psych/garage rock start to take hold on CSSO's music, as the band evolves into an unholy union of Hendrix -like acid rock, blown out, in-the-red Guitar Wolf garage perversion, monstrous crusty grindcore, and spacey psychedelia that would make Acid Mothers Temple proud! There are also some shredding covers of Carcass, Napalm Death, Regurgitate, and General Surgery included here, but this band is most definitely not your run of the mill grindcore unit. Freaked out, ultra rockin' psychedelic grindcore weirdness! Packaged in a jewel case with minimalist graphic design and lots of discography information. Highly recommended!
