Siege, “Drop Dead” (Deep Six, 2008; original recording 1984)
In early ‘80s Boston, Siege were almost so far ahead of their time they didn’t quite know what to do with themselves. Taking hardcore the next step beyond Void and Negative FX, they generated an evil-sounding light-speed blur that anticipated grindcore and power violence, sometimes still structured like generic HC, but at their best attaining a fractured, rhythm-smashing frenzy reminiscent of Mars but at 78 RPM, or two of three different songs battling to occupy the same space.
