January 23, 2008, 16 years ago
The 1987 nine-song demo cassette by frantic El Segundo, CA, crossover act MALICIOUS GRIND has been made available for download at the Bang! Bang! metal demo blog here.
According to the blog post, "Though they surfaced during a time when the grindcore term was just beginning to be tossed around, suburban L.A. act Malicious Grind was a relentless crossover monster in the vein of D.R.I., S.O.D., and maybe CRYPTIC SLAUGHTER."
Notes bassist Ingrid Baumgart: ""We opened up for NUCLEAR ASSAULT and VERBAL ABUSE–and we were banned from Hollywood clubs for our fans doing pits before pits were acceptable!"
Bang! Bang!, the weblog of Ian Christe (author of Sound Of The Beast and Everybody Wants Some: The VAN HALEN Saga, and host on Sirius Satellite Radio's Hard Attack), is dedicated to "celebrating the tradition of freely-traded heavy metal demo cassettes and preserving the pioneer spirit of the underground, one magnetic particle at a time."
