NECROS - Conquest For Death LP (1983)

Been meaning to put this record up for about a year now, but I kept putting it off because it's been on many other blogs and local stuff usually takes precedence on here. Anyways, this is the German pressing of this Midwest HC classic, released on Aggressive Rockproduktionen. It came out the same year as the original Touch & Go version, the only exception is that it comes with an extra song, the B-side of the Conquest For Death single, "Take 'Em Up". I was surprised to find this LP online in good shape for a decent price, considering it's been out of print for 30 years.

NECROS - Early Days EP (1991)

Picked up this bootleg 7" on my last trip to Seattle a few months back. It's not in the best shape, but since it's a rough recording anyways I don't think anyone will notice. I don't know why this demo was never officially released, personally I think it sounds better than their "Sex Drive" EP.

NECROS - IQ32 & Live 1981 LP (2012)

Since I won't get to see Negative Approach tonight, due to OFF! canceling their west coast tour, I thought I'd post some other great Midwest hardcore. I wasn't about to spend an arm and a leg for the original IQ 32 EP, and it won't be getting reissued anytime soon, so this bootleg 12" will have to suffice. Whoever put this out did an amazing job, this sounds as good as the original. On the flip side is a live soundboard recording from Obanion's in Chicago, Aug 3rd 1981. The sound quality is also quite good, the only drawback is that the drums cut out during the third song and are pretty much non-existent for the rest of the set. Still, I would've killed to have been at this show!
