NECROPHILIA - Mentalna Pustinja - LP+CD

Great compilation by NECROPHILIA, a hardcore punk band from Belgrade, Serbia (ex-Yugoslavia), active in 1982-1984.
Few expected that out of 2 or 3 musical experiments from 1980 and 1981. ("Glass Jugoslavije", "Civili" and "Bojeve Glave") would lead to the formation of Necrophilia! The group was founded in 1982. The line-up was: Pi Pi on bass, Misa ? on drums, Z. Misterius on guitar + vocals and Deki as a background singer (who was later replaced by Gvido and in the last phase by Risto Topalovski). It was literally one of the first Yugo hardcore punk bands, at a time when HC punk was at the peak of musical, ideological, status or however you want to interpret it, development in the world. "Our style is based on the recipe of fast - loud and dedicated with the ultra-fast distorted guitars and lyrics based on the anti-war and social issues" - explains Misterius in an interview. Attention to Necrophilia was high after the band appeared on V/A "Buka in Urlik", a cassette compilation with ''Herpes Distress'' and ''Solunski front'' (No profit Tapes # 001). Rehearsals were a problem and the band did what they could: Rooms, garages, makeshift studios, concert stages, all possibilities were good to play, even a rehearsal without electricity on the train to Ljubljana. The performances were frequent: "Pionir" hall, "Skadarlija" brewery (with "Solunski front" and ''Pogrebni zavod"), XIII BG gym (with "Van kontrole" from Novi Sad , -pre 2 minute mrznje, "Posle Procesa" and "Solunski front") in Ljubljana at a hardcore party in the disco FV-up (with "Solunski front"), which they documented in their first video and an interview with Igor Vidmar from "Radio Student". This group was often reported in fanzines from all over Yugoslavia ("Katastrof," from Belgrade, "Povratak otpisanih" from Ljubljana, "Izazov" from Istria, "Zasto bas mi" from Subotica ...). In mid-1984, some of the band members went on compulsory military service and the group disbanded.

This special re-release contains all the old Necrophilia rehearsal recordings and comes in a thick gatefold cover, with thick 24-page booklet and printed inner sleeve + CD insert.
