FRATRICIDE - S/T EP (2010) *UPDATED*

This was Fratricide's first demo, recorded in 1986 and originally intended to be on a split 12" with Holland's Neuroot on Pushead's Pusmort Records. For someone unknown reason, it was never released except for a few test pressings, which went for an arm and a leg. A few songs from this session did end up on a couple of Pusmort compilations. I've been wanting to post this record since I first started up this blog, but I didn't because it was still a new release. But now that it's over 3 years old, I'm sure anyone who wanted it has it by now. This was ripped from the red vinyl version that came with an alternate cover.
1. Blind Faith
2. Rip Wide The Sky
3. Blood Red Dream
4. Going Under
5. Grave
6. Final Solution
7. Beaten Senseless

UPDATE 26.04.2023
Here's the original Pusmort mix ripped from the test pressing that bass player Dan Walters brought over for me to digitize for an upcoming discography CD.

  2. I've tried tracking down the Neuroot side of the split comp. but no dice. I just have a cassette copy. Anyone out there have a cleaned-up copy?

    1. It was released as a 7" called "Right Is Might", which was reissued as a 12" in 2012 by Havoc Records.

    2. Awesome. I'll check it out.
      Is it just me, or does this EP sound significantly different than the test pressing (which Dan made a copy for me thousands of years ago)?

  3. I think this sounds different than the test pressing. I've listened to both back to back, I guess they are mixed differently. I prefer the sound of the test press. Would be cool if you could put that version up as well.

    2. Yeah, the 2010 reissues were remixed in Jan 1993.

  5. Good to see you and Dan Walters are working on a Fratricide discography.
    Sounds like you're going to include the original mix of the Split 12" EP that was on Pusmort.
    What else will be on it?

    Will it include their 1987 demos?. I think those songs are the two songs from the 7":
    -Razor Piss/Our Circled Adventure
    ...and the other songs from 1987 demos:
    -The Fading, Intercept, Scream Bloody Vengeance, Clean Mind-Clear Thought (Rough Mix).

    How about the track from Thrasher Skate Rock vol. 6 'Road Rash' cassette (1988):
    -Dangerous Class.

    Will those songs be included?. Do you have an expected release date yet?

    1. Marquee Records out of Brazil will be putting it out, not sure how far along they are with it. I believe everything that was released on vinyl will be on it along with the 2010 mix and the full radio session. As far as those unreleased demos I think only one of those songs (Clear Mind) will be included but I'm not 100% sure. I'll post on here when I find out when it's coming out, cheers!
