Nausea
Extinction (pink)
Nausea's sole full length offering 'Extinction' finally available on wax again after more than two decades via Svart Records. After releasing the 'Cybergod'/'Lie Cycle' 12" EP, Svart Records is set to continue reissuing the work of New York's most legendary crust thrashers, Nausea. The band's only full-length album, 'Extinction,' was originally released in 1990 by Profane Existence in the US and Meantime Records in the UK. Now, Svart Records is proud to present this cult album with remastered sound, gatefold covers, booklet, and new album artwork taken from the poster included with the original pressing of the 'Extinction' vinyl. While Nausea's timeline may not have been the longest, their influence on hardcore, punk, and crust is massive. Nausea elevated the game with the raging dueling vocals of Amy and Al, blending classic UK crust and anarcho-punk elements. Their sound echoes the rock'n'roll spirit of Discharge and Motörhead, alongside the epic metal-punk fusion reminiscent of Sacrilege and Slayer, all infused with a sociopolitical message and the experimental flair of Crass. Their lyrics depict a post-apocalyptic world akin to Amebix, with bleak themes, such as, "The world is growing weaker, with the passing of each day. Riding the west winds. The fetid stench of decay. Resources dwindle into the consumerist machine. As mechanical vultures pick the carcass of our world clean." Edition on pink vinyl.
