It is a collection, divided into four CDs.

That traces the early part of the career of the band from Asti.

When the line-up still revolved around the founders Giulio The Bastard and Alberto The Crippler.

Accompanied by a series of extensive booklets full of images, interviews, texts that tell the legendary story of these inventors of oldschool-hardcore-noise-grind in Italy.

Consistency and attitude.

Not a Christmas listen; obviously not recommended for just anyone, given the tons of "sound chaos" that are erupted during the four-hour duration of the whole thing.

1036 (yes you've read that right ONE THOUSAND AND THIRTY-SIX) tracks or splinters of fear and madness; micro-songs placed one after the other with millimetric precision despite a technique reduced to the bone and just a barely decent production. But who cares? Na sega would say Lindo Ferretti.

The guys had ideas by the truckloads and were centuries "ahead" at the time, considering the word Grindcore was little known in Europe, let alone on national soil.

Inventors and pioneers.

"Non esisti", "Spiraglio di rumore", "Come è falso Dio", "Artiglio mentale", "Uomini malati", "Grissinificio di Ebrei (!!!)", "Delitto proporzionale" are some titles, chosen completely at random, that describe the disposition and the perverse and very sick atmosphere of this sonic mush.

Irreverent, caustic, provocative; this has made the Cripple Bastards unique.

Now they have become an institution; recognized and admired everywhere.

If you can, go see them live; I have already done it, destroying myself, many times.

GG should have written this vile thing; but I chose the wrong user... "ITALIA DI MERDA, ITALIA DI MERDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Ad Maiora.
