DIOXIN - s/t 12'' 1988

The 300th post meanwhile and this is honored with a completely unknown band from the north of our beautiful republic. Specifically, founded in Grossenkneten (home of Trio) in the mid 80s these five guys come together to contribute their part in the german punk history with their selfmade mini 12'', 1000 hand-numbered copies were pressed with eight wild intensive pieces. First nothing special, but here is the saxophone excellent integrated and gives the sound more power and melody (for example in 'Herbst'). Lyrically, it's usually personally and the singer brings the anger and despair right to the point over. Exactly how I like it. Musically a perfect mix from quick short pieces with classic mid-tempo songs. Absolutely worth mentioning the superior elaborate artwork which comes in a poster format and is equipped with all infos, lyrics and cool paintings. Overall, a fantastic record where everything fits. See for yourself!
