THE CORPSE - Fight Against Rules LP

THE CORPSE were pioneers of hardcore thrash in Poland. They're started in 1985 and their classic "Fight against rules" demo released in 1988 was a milestone in the history of the Polish HC/Punk scene. Their massive aggressive sound was unique and unexpected in the Eastern European bloc. Their perfectly executed Hardcore Thrash Crossover was influenced by bands like Discharge, Accused, Attitude Adjustment and Poland's Moskwa. It all aroused a lot of controversy and the band was rejected by many punk traditionalists. On the other hand, THE CORPSE set the starting point for more DIY oriented, self-aware hardcore scenes that exploded in Poland in the late 80's with a network of contacts and a great amount of bands like U.O.M., H.C.P., Od Jutra, Nadzor, Trybuna Brudu, Chaos, Political Vermin to name a few. The original demo was sold in a few thousand of copies internationally. They got lots of attention from the worldwide scene thanx to tape-trading and interviews in MRR. They got several offers for international tours and some vinyl releases but their possibilities were strictly limited due to the problems of some band members who faced obligatory military service in the communist Poland. Until now The Corpse has never appeared on a legit record release.
