BLUTTAT - Liberté 1982

Fabulous debut by Bluttat with ten fast rough HardcorePunk attacks with pissed-off lyrics in German & English, as well as a few slower, more melodic tracks. Released via Ausschuß and the original record (which runs at 45RPM) is nowadays hard to find and that's the reason why Assel Records & Maniac Attack Records re-issued this slab in 2005 with two bonus tracks. Bluttat was founded in 1981 from the remains of Pissrinne in Mülheim/Ruhr and, until around 1986, consisted of Anja (vocals), J.R. (guitars/vocals), Uwe (bass), Ralph (drums). During this time they have recorded three albums and appeared on numerous Compilations to date. Their music is loud, raw and authentic and they did everything in pure D.I.Y. manner. A suitable review: "Some plodding German Punk and then...wham!, some super-frenetic thrash. Two singers share vocal duties, and the woman really wails. There’s some great stuff here, and I highly recommend over half of this record." (Tim Yohannan, MRR #7 • July/August 1983) Liberté is fifteen minutes intense, powerful, roaring and a "small" highlight of German Hardcore!
