Confrontation were a Southern California grind/crust band from the late 80's who broke up in the early 1990's. The band featured Todd, The bass player that went on to play in the cult band Dystopia. This stuff is pretty brutal, and more on the crust side of hardcore & metal. Metalheads will love this shit... Its raw as fuck. This record is the actual bands first demo from 1989, remixed then put to vinyl. The ep came out on Draw Blank, a label run by two members of Infest.
I ended up with this totally by mistake. I'd ordered records from the label in the past, and never gotten them...duh, yeah Infest records of course. I would continually order records and shirts from these guys, and NEVER get anything back. Must have happened at least 3 times, after seeing adds in MRR. I was a fuckin born sucker for Infest. Finally after writing some pretty pissed off letters to Draw Blank, they sent me this ep, telling me that the Infest record I ordered was out of print. I was pretty bummed out, and prolly listened to this once and filed it away due to my Infest disappointment. Took me a few years to dig this back out to give it another chance under my buddy Ben Barnett's recommendation. Its def not infest but is still a great record.

Ha! Thats pretty random I just posted this too a few weeks ago but mine is the later version that Misanthropic put out. This record rips!
ReplyDeleteyours prolly sounds better. I wonder if they are diff mixes, as there is straight demo version
ReplyDeleteNice post! I actually picked up their 7" (not this one) at random the other day at a local shop because it was put out on Tribal War. I figured since everything I have ever bought from the label has been awesome this record must rip. And I was fucking right! Thanks so much for posting some MP3s that I can burn to a CD for my friend.
ReplyDeleteI'll see about posting my 7" when I get my new record player.
They sound the same to me, mine sounds a little more trebley though.
ReplyDeleteOn a side note...
Do you have the Thirteen Frightened Souls ep by Deceased?
Hi from Argentina!
ReplyDeleteYour blog is awesome, I found a lot of great bands here that I didn't even know they existed!
ah Confrontation were a great band, i was lucky enough to find their discog cd in a second hand shop a few years ago! Any chance you could post the Apocalypse cd 'Coldbringer'? i would love to hear this, it's another discography of everything they did, i miss this great crust band from Orange County, California. thankyou, hope you can help?

ab-so-lu-te-ly fan-fuckin'-tastic blog! It's almost uncanny how our musical tastes (and a lot of records, not the rare ones) are similar. If you ever pass in Belgium we must share some beer! By the way, 'Dead against the war' is Confrontation's other ep.

ReplyDeleteThanks I've been looking for this one for years. You've got great musical taste!!
ReplyDeleteI love Belgium style beer bro. We should drink til wasted...
ReplyDeleteI used to have an older demo by Confrontation that is much rawer and not as brutal. If I recall correctly it had a burning cop car on the cover. This EP is a total ripper. I also lost money to Infest back then.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog. Thanks for taking the time to do it.

P.S. I am in a band with Matto here in Buffalo. It is pretty ripping.
Matt probably spent your money on burritos and pot. You should have ordered from Dave. Haha.
ReplyDeleteLet me just rise my hand and the Horns to this absolute cool and over the top raw metal. I wish there were more bands like this one nowadays, Metal needs true bands to be giving it justice.
