Animate Records recently published a 30-year retrospective re-issue of Blood Impulse to Destroy with the “lost” rough mix of the original, added photos, and the “Recognize Yourself” EP with undiscovered rarities. The cassette tape comes in a limited edition of 200.

Bring more of this pioneering grindcore release to light, the re-issue delves into the time when grindcore left its punk origins for the more disturbing metaphorical view of modernity as a time of death and disease that also influenced death metal.
