Destroy: Total Fucking Chaos 1989-1994 12″

Description

This LP compiles all the non-LP studio tracks by Minneapolis Destroy. Like many of their 90s DIY peers, Destroy spread their output among several 7s, split 7s and compilations to try to release as many tracks to as wide an audience as possible, then culminating their recording careers with their capstone 1994 LP, Necropolis. This release compiles the Total Fucking Chaos 7, Burn This Racist System Down 7, split 7s with Disrupt and Disturb and compilation tracks. Destroy started in the late 80s influenced by Anarcho-Punk bands like Discharge and Varukers but over time, as the Crust and Grindcore scenes exploded worldwide, the band incorporated aspects of these more extreme trajectories of hardcore to create their own unique sound. The band toured in 1990 and 1993 playing with contemporaries like Disrupt, Nausea, Dropdead, Capitalist Casualties and Napalm Death. The first 7 Total Fucking Chaos was originally released on Relapse and the second 7 Burn This Racist System Down was the first release on Havoc Records. Destroy reformed with the original 1993 line up to play a 50th birthday party and it went so well the band decided to play a handful of reunion gigs and re-issue these classic ragers.
