Rise Above, 100% analogue vinyl edition. Direct cut to lacquers by Noel Summerville from the original master tapes. Original artwork files were used to reproduce the original LP poster sleeve, which comes with additional 8-page booklet. 40th anniversary edition of this cult crust punk classic. First official and fully authorised edition since the original release.
The word ‘legendary’ is bandied around far too lazily and conveniently these days. But, in the case of Antisect: legendary is precisely what they are! As a band/collective, they sit right up there with other great names from the raging era of early 80s true ‘anti-establishment’ punk rock such as Discharge, Flux Of Pink Indians, Subhumans, Rudimentary Peni and even Crass, in terms of the impact they have had over the years. This, their debut album was released forty years ago in the paranoid year that was 1984. It is, without doubt, a classic combination of autonomous philosophy and hardcore thrash. But there is more to the album than just that. Aside the obvious musical influence of Discharge, Motörhead, Black Sabbath, Venom etc, there was a creative and atmospheric musical backdrop behind the recording that set them apart from everyone else at the time. It was a very ambitious concept, which successfully pieced together the balance hope and despair within the realm of sound and projection. In Darkness, There Is No Choice, is finally reissued as a fully authorised edition for the first time since its original release.
