AFTER 8 YEARS OF WAITING DUE THE CORRUPT POLICE FORCES IN ROME, ITALY (IT STATES IT RIGHT ON THE BACK OF THE RECORD) THE 1994 LOST AND FOUND SELF TITLED TASTE OF FEAR CD HAS BEEN RELEASED ON 12 INCH BLACK VINYL LP! LIMITED EDITION PRESSING ONLY. BRAND NEW ARTWORK, LYRIC SHEET, AND 13 TRACKS. Featuring members of the cult New York hardcore band Citizens Arrest, Taste Of Fear took form in the early 90's as a much heavier and more metallic project that took a lot of its influence from the compact violent eruptions of Infest as well as old school death metal and black metal. These guys were aligned with the extreme hardcore/grindcore underground during the 1990's, but there was a seriously blackened streak that ran through their music that set Taste Of Fear apart from most other bands that they associated with, and while the album is pretty firmly rooted in a template of straightforward deathcrust, massive breakdowns and blasts of hyperspeed metallic powerviolence that never really lets up, it's still one of the more interesting hybrids that came out of the 90's crust/grind scene. Imagine the pissed-off barking blastcore of Infest combined with a brutal black/death assault that's equal parts frenzied Beherit blackness and Dis-core pummel and putrid doomy deathmetal, but delivered in short, stripped-down songs that ooze anger with the anti-authoritarian stance of the lyrics, lyrics that totally betray the band's roots in hardcore punk. So killer! There's also a cover of "World Under My Fingernails" from grind/noise legends Fear Of God, and the band also rips off a sample of Nurse With Wound for the intro to one of their songs, which is something you'll probably never find on another death/crust album...
