CERTIFIED INSANE Raw, Crude ‘N’ Relentless CD (2006)

German crust punk that does exactly what it says on the tin. No frills, no studio gloss, no apologies.

Certified Insane hail from Germany's fertile extreme underground and Raw, Crude 'N' Relentless lives up to every word of that title. This 2006 full-length sits at the intersection of crust and death metal, the kind of record that sounds like it was recorded in a bunker by people who genuinely had nothing to lose. Three tracks listed on the sleeve, no filler, no clean choruses, just Defecation, Pilgrim, and Concealed In Dark doing exactly what this genre was built for. If you grew up on Discharge, Bolt Thrower, or anything that came out of Europe's squat-circuit tape-trading days, this one belongs in your collection.

Format: CD. Full length album. Original pressing 2006, Germany. Genre: Crust/Death.

Fans of: Discharge, Bolt Thrower, Hellbastard, Amebix, early Napalm Death.
