Cry Now, Cry Later

Volumes 3 & 4

Pessimiser

A CD compilation of the third and fourth volumes in a series of double seven inch compilations of grind, power violence, sludge, hardcore stuff, along with some bonus tracks. Thirty tracks from twenty-three bands, most of which go by pretty fast. I prefer the speedy, screamy stuff myself, and was most pleased by amazing tracks from Soilent Green, Excruciating Terror, Cavity, Flame Retarded, Carol, Spazz, Los Crudos, Charles Bronson, Locust, and Agoraphobic Nosebleed. They make my blood race. I skip over a bunch of stuff, but the songs I care for are well worth it. Good stuff. Pessimiser Records, P.O. Box 1070, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254
