Description:
European LP pressing. 2014.
"The LP's - 1989-1991" is a powerful vinyl compilation that captures an essential early phase of Agathocles, one of the most influential bands in the grindcore and mincecore underground. Collected here are recordings from 1989 to 1991, a formative era in which the band solidified its raw, blasting sound, socially and politically charged lyrics, and unmistakably abrasive aesthetic. The LP format lends these tracks a physical weight and warmth that matches the band's uncompromising intensity, making this release as much a historical document as it is a relentless listening experience. This edition is released by Power It Up / Cargo, a label and distributor known in the extreme music scene for carefully curated reissues, archival releases, and high-quality pressings. Their focus on underground punk, grind, and hardcore has made them a respected address for collectors who value authenticity and fidelity to the original spirit of the recordings. "The LP's - 1989-1991" fits perfectly into this tradition, giving new life to material that might otherwise be hard to find. Agathocles, formed in the 1980s in Belgium, are widely regarded as pioneers of "mincecore," a raw and politically engaged variant of grindcore. Over the decades they have built a massive discography with countless splits, EPs, and albums, and have earned a cult following worldwide through their DIY ethics, intense live performances, and unwavering commitment to themes such as anti-fascism, animal rights, and social justice. Their long-term presence in the global underground and their prolific output have made them a point of reference for multiple generations of extreme music fans. This LP offers an intense window into their early years and is an essential piece for anyone interested in the roots of modern grindcore.
