Artist: DEFECATION
Album: PURITY DILUTION REMASTERED (DIGI)

Release date: 1989/ 2008
Media type: CD

While some bands need several years and dozens of albums to gain the proper recognition among fans and critics, Defecation needed just one release to become a legend among the grindcore community. "Purity Dilution" landed like an atom bomb on unsuspecting minds, opening a new chapter in extreme music. The album started out slow, but soon became one of the biggest early successes for Nuclear Blast, gaining a cult status in the following years. No surprise there - the LP was a straight-forward kick in the end, combining all the best elements of extreme music - death, thrash, grind, punk and hardcore - into one fierce battletank armed with pure aggression. The music was equally divided between the duo: Mitch focused on guitars and bass, while Mick did the drum parts. Both of them recorded the vocals on the album - mostly death metal grunts, mixed with some high-pitched shrieks and screams. Musically, "Purity Dilution" offered a violent grind-fest, inspired greatly by death metal - just listen to the guitar-work on "Contagion" or the blast beats on "Predominance" or "Recovery". The lyrics were focused on a world on the edge of self-destruction (best heard in the track "Life On Planet Earth Is Fucken Cancerous"), torture, agony and, well... defecation, but they also had a lot to say about the environment and religion ("Popular Belief"). The album proved to be a true milestone for grindcore music and an inspiration to numerous extreme bands in the future. Now, with the exclusive re-release of the stunning debut album, you can once again witness the power of true destruction. New digipak edition is limited to numerated 2000 copies. Digitally remastered using 24-Bit process on golden disc.
