This release sort of came out of nowhere. I had met Pete and Laura from Omerta a few weeks earlier when my band played with Pete's other band at the time, The Mingers. The next time we saw The Mingers Pete said that they were looking for someone else to get involved in helping them release this record. Somehow I agreed to hand over some money and This One's For The Crew records was formed.
On this record, Omerta play blistering, crust-influenced thrash. Laura's vocals spew out terrifying screams as the rest of the band keep a slight amount of structure and purpose amongst the chaos. I was never really into this style of music, but always had a soft spot for Omerta. Try and check out their 12", We Will Never See The Snow Again too. It's sold out now but really worth picking up if you see it in a distro.
On the flipside, Whores Whores Whores play chaotic metallic hardcore. Spazzy guitars and drums with howled and screamed vocals in a way that would appeal to fans of Botch and earlier Converge. I only saw them once. They were mental, as you'd expect.
