Toxicbreed
has released its first covers compilation, Casa de Diversion: Covers Vol. 1 for
free download on their blog now but you can also stream it below. The
compilation features some interesting takes on songs both predictable and from
a little more leftfield. Vestiges and Caulfield are prepping the release of
their split 7”, both doing a cover each and the two songs are included on the
comp. Vestiges take The Cranberries’ classic ‘Zombie’ and mould entirely into
their own doomed out crust child. Meanwhile Caulfield daringly tackle Nirvana’s
‘Dive’.
Ohio’s
blistering Masakari serve up a rendition of Discharge’s entire EP, Fight Back
and the mighty Heartless, fresh off the release of their impressive first
full-length Hell Is Other People, churn out a rather striking cover of His Hero
Is Gone’s ‘Anthem for the Undesirables’, proudly playing homage to an obvious
influence.
Spokane,
Washington newcomers Losing Skin have only released two demos thus far but
decide to have a go at Godflesh’s ‘Like Rats’, which we could probably have
done with being left untouched. There are covers of anything from Dismember to
Joy Division and Mayhem to At The Drive In. There are 34 tracks in total on
Casa de Diversion I, so there’s plenty to get through, from intriguing takes to
(sure to be thought) unforgivable abominations. Stream it below and click HERE
for the two-part download.
