MINDROT [FULL DEMO]

[@monicaheddneck8190]

After rediscovering this, I realize how ahead of it's time this simple demo really was. This stuff is so fresh to this very day. These guys should have been 1000 time more popular.

Dystopia ain't no slouch either though

[@subsanity667]

This demo was awesome when it was released 30 years ago. Taking influence from death and doom metal yet the band was active in the punk/hardcore scene breaking down the barriers between genres ,hell most of the punks from my scene all have turned into metal heads and doom freaks.

[@flammaferus2998]

Cool demo!!! R.I.P. Matt Fisher (vocals+bass)

[@wolverine669]

Back in the days it was just awesome to discover bands like this. Still jammin' their albums.

[@DeathSpellXVI]

Sòphìe You gotta be kidding me, just Shut the fuck up, you and other idiotic, superficial bitches are the reason why girls aren't respected in the scene, everyone thinks they're just in because they like guys with long hair when there's in fact some that actually like the music.

[@CheGumby]

i have this tape somewhere, unless i lost it driving around the orange circle

[@Metrohopper]

I spent more than a night at the OPD in the O.C. circle ‚- at least one of which was after driving home with this band's drum set toward Long beach (he and Dawn know what I mean) when I put out Mindrot's first 7" lol

[@CheGumby]

So my favorite band currently is KICKER from Oakland. Turns out the guitar player was in Mindrot. Small fckn world. Our drummer used to make me drive around Orange Park Acres stoned out of our heads listening to this demo in his pick up truck. I don't particularly like crust, but I loved this tape because I had never heard anything like it before and because for a small local young band it was fckng hvy!

+N. Hale Green wtf awesome drummer

[@Metrohopper]

Which drummer? Al, Evan or...?

[@mogshade66]

N. Hale Green It's a demo 😀

[@Sleepy12ftPanda]

All of these songs are the same. Unintelligible growls laced with over-repetitive power chords and fast, asynchronous drumbeats. On the occasion where they do give the audience some breathing room to soak in the atmosphere of the guitar, like in 0:00 to 0:21 and 9:35 to 10:07, they immediately ruin the mood by screaming. I get that this kind of sound is supposed to be the signature of this genre of music, but it's used so often that it no longer becomes surprising, and thus doesn't leave an impact. If they lengthened the buildup and transitioned to the heavier sections more gradually, the vocals would've stood out more. Heck, they could've even added a callback to the lighter sections later on in those respective songs to make them seem more wholistic. As it stands now though, it sounds like a bowl of slightly perturbed oatmeal.

[@Metrohopper]

Ah, mommy says you best choose a teat.

[@kakstin]

"...but it's used so often that it no longer becomes surprising..." You do know this demo is from 1990, right?

[@Sleepy12ftPanda]

@ Jimmy Calhoun So? That shouldn't excuse it's composition.

[@mogshade66]

12ft Narcoleptic Panda I really don't have the energy for this but Listen to the Dawning album. And the Forlorn 12. I doubt you'd like the split 7"s very much 😊 That Soul lp is too polished for my gritty ears x

[@mogshade66]

12ft Narcoleptic Panda It's a demo from 28 years ago. Some of us loved it back then. We still do today 😊
