seized - live at kfjc

four songs recorded at a live radio session live in the kfjc studio (pit) in los altos hills, ca, on january 2nd, 1999

these are the last recordings of this great band

"During their brief existence in the mid-1990's, these guys delivered some killer misanthropic sludgecore, part psychedelic human-hate a la Dystopia, part Man is the Bastard bass-heavy craziness, and part Disassociate/Brutal Truth-styled hemp-fueled grind, with mosntrous, gutteral roars.

The lyrics are pure negativity, but there are some surprisingly catchy hooks and uptempo chuggers on here beneath a triple bassist assault. Thats right, these guys had THREE BASS PLAYERS, no guitar, with the basses downtuned as fuck and eerily dissonant, crushing, winding bass lines driving these dirges along, a bulldozing heavy avalanche of catchy tarpit blast.

There are also violins on some of these songs, making them even creepier than usual. Featured former members of the even more obscure Human Greed." -- crucial blast
