Gonna switch it up to some filthy, hard metallic NYHC right now from taste-e-grooves. Morgado posted a test from one of their EP’s a while back. I feel this band doesn’t get enough love at all. Coming out of the early 1990′s NYHC crossover scene, I think this band was grittier, heavier and angrier, and real-er (it’s a word now!) and so much more balls-out than say Biohazard or LOA or Carnivore. Something like Sheer Terror’s more metal cousin, this is the kind of NYHC you wanna listen to when you feel ugly and just want to kill the world and yourself by moshing it all to death. “Stick it in and fuck life, fuck life, fuck life”. Neglect actually had a good number of 7″ releases, including a split with the then not yet famous Hatebreed. This 2xLP is kind of a retrospective, collecting demo and various recordings from 1991 to 1993 done with Don Fury, and has all of their best songs like ‘Horrorstruck’, ‘Neglect’, ’2 Foot City’ and others. Even though this is the last thing Neglect released, I think this is a good starting point, as opposed to their various EP’s. This is tough without any gangsta pose, hateful without being ignorant, self-deprecating without being whiny. Fucking hard. Don’t know much about what happened to the dudes in this band or if they had any prior or past projects, so if you have a clue, comment! At $9.99 I can’t say this BIN is a bad deal, I’m pretty sure I paid a little more for my copy!
