Outcast Clan

Throbbing brutal industrial acidcore, at least in its early days. Releases range from the sublime (Clip Lite - pulsating tightly constructed 170+ acid, shame the quiet pressing) (Four Horsemen - brightly tinted and expressive 303s) to the very good (Damage EP - a live recording of quiet "damaging" hardcore) to the forgetable (early incoherent releases such as Bad Acid and Flying Over Frankfurt). The distinguished professor of acidcore himself, Mr. Steen, even makes multiple appearances on the label in no less a guise than the incomparable Fast Indentities. Later release tend to go a more straight hardcore or even speedcore route but do include a memorable debut by Hammer Damage (of Sensory Violation) on the Ground Zero EP. Sick exploration into acid's upper limits.
