Remember When Relapse Used To Be Good?[views:2540][posts:20]___________________________________ [May 29,2004 7:06pm - Dissector ""] Do you guys remember when Relapse used to be an awesome grind label? Awesome bands like Flesh Parade, Exit-13, Abscess, Human Remains, Disrupt, Brutal Truth, Blood Duster, Phobia, Disembowelment. Now, with few exceptions every new band they sign and every new release sucks. They should just live off the bands that are still on their label from the good ol' days like Soilent Green, Exhumed, Nile, Bongzilla and Benumb. |
| _____________________________________ [May 29,2004 7:40pm - The_ExhumeD ""] What I dont get is why relapse signed alabama thunderpussy I fucking hate that band, I like alot of the bands on the label, Im not so down with mastodon although they have the best drummer who ever lived (x today is the day) |
| _________________________________________ [May 29,2004 8:27pm - attendmyrequiem ""] alabama thunderpussy is awesome rock n roll, which never comes out anymore. i know exactly why they put it out. |

I dunno, I really cant stand that band. If I really wanted to shoot from the hip Id go buy a monster magnet cd |
| ______________________________________ [May 29,2004 11:46pm - The_ExhumeD ""] by the way relapse is doing a fine job Burnt by the sun Cephalic Carnage FUCK YES! other good bands. high on fire dysrhythmia mortician soilent green today is the day pig destroyer origin nile.....and countless others |
| ____________________________________ [May 30,2004 1:14am - BornSoVile ""] the last great Relapse record to come out IMHO is Dying Fetus - Destroy the Opposition. Nile - In Their Darkend Shrines is great of course. Origin, Cephalic Carnage and Suffocation - Human Waste rule too. |
| _______________________________________ [May 30,2004 1:35am - DeOdiumMortis ""] And oddly enough, the stuff on Relapse that most of us think really sucks probably sells way better than most of the "good ol'" stuff; maybe not Nile, Fetus or Mortician, but it's the stuff that we don't like that's keeping them in business and keeping their longer-term bands and their back catalog out and about. It's a business, gotta sell what's selling, they're too big to survive otherwise. |

I know dying fetus is on relapse, but I never knew destroy the opposition was put out by relapse, I thought it was bluntforce. I hate their new cd, but everything before that was good with the exception of killing on adrenaline, that was pretty mediocre |
| ________________________________________ [May 30,2004 10:11am - Joe/NotCommon ""] Relapse is awesome. July 9th at the Chopping Block NOTCOMMON presents: ALABAMA THUNDER PUSSY with Rwake, Kevorkian's Angels and Paranoid. 8pm 21+ |
| ___________________________________ [May 30,2004 2:06pm - Dissector ""] I know Relapse still has good bands, but all their new signings I don't really like. Nile, Cephalic Carnage, Pig Destroy, Exhumed, and Soilent Green are the only bands on Relapst that I like now. Oh yeah, they signed Suffocation and Necrophagist, thats pretty cool too. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 2,2006 9:54am - bezdar1 ""] I'm really impressed! |
| _________________________________________ [Jul 2,2006 10:01am - GoatOfCatalyst ""] I think Relapse is awesome. Tons of great shit. Plus, they just put out Unearthy Trance, who I think are fucking GREAT. |
| _____________________________________________ [Jul 2,2006 10:02am - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] I remember, I still think they do some good releases, but their focus has shifted stylistically. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 2,2006 10:21am - AUTOPSY_666 ""] NILE aren't on Relapse anymore. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 2,2006 10:26am - succubus ""] way for a spam bot to bump a 2 yr old thread |
| ______________________________________________ [Jul 2,2006 11:13am - chris_from_shit_fuck ""] Nile and Exhumed are no longer on relapse. The only bands that I really like on Relapse now is Fuck the Facts and Suffocation |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 2,2006 11:14am - the_reverend ""] exhumed isn't on anything anymore.. |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 2,2006 1:34pm - VoidExpression ""] They just signed Antigama and reissued the Dolemite soundtrack. Toss in Don Cab and I think technically Halo is still on there, and that's good enough for me! |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 2,2006 1:38pm - RichHorror ""] They have Brian Posehn. 'Nuff said. |
