I played in Monster X pretty much all the way through the 90's. We started in 1992 after the breakup off a few other crappy local Albany bands. We were best friends....This was one of our our last releases. The record came out on Reservoir Records. I recall Andrew Orlando from Reservoir asking me back in 1997, "if you could do a record with any American hardcore band who would you want it to be?" My response was Man Is The Bastard, Spazz, or Capitalist Casualties. I don't think Andrew could convince MITB to do a split with us, so it was on to Spazz(who were famous for doing a million splits back then). At any rate we were very excited to do a record with these guys(as they were all pretty much friends/heroes to us). Monster X had real issues with recording... and this is the closest I think we ever came to nailing what/and how we wanted to sound. Andrew really was an awesome label head and totally backed what we wanted to do. He really believed in us. If I recall correctly the guy that did the cover art/layout was a member of the 80's German hc band Tu Du Hospital.

    WTF! I've known you and Andrew for what 10/15 years and I've never seen or heard of this. Do you know if he still has any?

    I'll see if I can dig one up some place. It sold out pretty fast, but I think he did a lot of them.

    Monster X - Attrition 7" was the first record i ever bought, i was 13. Loved the name and saw it on so many fliers so I picked it up. Going to revisit all of this stuff now.
