RORSCHACH - REMAIN SEDATE (1990)


I can forgive you if you missed out on Rorschach's Protestant -- After all, it was the first album EVER posted on Illogical Contraption, and most of you fucking poseurs haven't been around that long. Heck, I can even forgive some of you for sleeping on their Live In Italy bootleg. I didn't post it until June, and I'll give the benefit of the doubt to any of you noobs who weren't on board at that point, either. But if you miss out on Remain Sedate... Well, that sort of transgression is unforgivable.
This was Rorschach's first full-length, and featured singer Charles Maggio in full-on pre-surgery hardcore Cro-Magnon mode. These jams are nowhere as weird and blasty as what was going on in Protestant, but are creative, brain-wrenching, and awe-inspiring nonetheless. Tweaked-out East Coast HC at its finest, if you ask me.

  3. I never got round to protestant cus I totally burned out on hardcore in the early 90's, but I really liked this record when it came out. Seemed like a strong concept at the time for a hc band, also with the neat packaging (file under fuck!). Also dig the needlepack 7" they did a year later or so.
