The "Soulstorm" LP was recorded in September/November of 1988 at Baby Monster Studios in NYC and released on Anthrax Records in 1989. Dan and Eric both played in Fanous Cheezcake, a NJ hardcore band who put out a live tape in 1985 and a 7" EP on Faith Records in 1986. Jack was also the vocalist for Fatal Rage who released an LP on Muthu Records in 1983. They would have easily been as well known as those bands if they were on Death or Combat Core, but they kinda remained in semi-obscurity since none of their material has been repressed since 1990.ĭirge Anthology Remastered 320 mp3s plus Coversĭirge Anthology Remastered WAVS part Three In my opinion, the "Soulstorm" LP is right up there with the best albums by DRI, COC, Cryptic Slaughter etc. Just crushing crossover thrash from Holmdel, NJ with great songwriting and insane guitar playing, and Jacko's vocals just put it all over the top. I've been jamming this a lot lately since i got the new rip and it still sounds as amazing as it did in 1989. I'm psyched on the way all this came out. The three tracks from the "Matrix" EP from 1989 are all on the Fleshcrawler 12" EP released a year later, so those tracks are all included. This is pretty much everything the band released aside from the Lifeforce cassette from '87. I went back and "mastered" all the other material, plus i added the earlier version of Superficial from the "Bands Only A Muthu Could Love" compilation LP from 1988. I'm not sure what the source was, but it's not a vinyl rip.
Just drop your requests into the comments section of this post and i'll provide new links.Ī friend of mine recently sent me an incredible sounding rip of the Dirge "Soulstorm" LP and i just had to share it.
So until that happens i'll keep taking requests for stuff posted in the past.
I have some new stuff to share, so i may update this blog on a monthly basis, but unfortunately i still have no idea when i'll be able to fix all the links. It's been quite a while since my last post.
