Early Stampin' Ground material "still awesome"

Its official, the early Stampin' Ground recordings featuring vocalist Heath are still awesome as fuck.

The Dawn Of Night and Starved 7"s, the MCD containing both, and the debut album Demons Run Amok are all still raging slabs of chug heavy mid 90's metallic hardcore.

Trivia nerds might be interested to know that Heath was actually SG's second frontman, and Adam their third. The o.g. Stampin' Ground demo tape featured Paul Catten of Medulla Nocte/Murder One fame on vocals.

But some 12 years later those first releases still hold their own against a constant slew of younger metallic hardcore bands.

Maybe now that SG have played their final show they can give the re-united Earth Crisis back the riffs they "borrowed". Heh.
