We Say...
This four-song EP is a pretty tasty artifact of hard rock history, containing the only four songs ever recorded by Asbestosdeath. Formed in the late '80s by future Sleep rhythm section Al Cisneros and Chris Hakius, along with guitarist Thomas Choi — and joined soon after by future Sleep/High on Fire guitarist Matt Pike — Asbestosdeath released these four tracks in 1990, spread across two now-very-rare seven-inch singles. Pike’s “American Lemmy” vocal style is already very much in evidence on “Nail” and “The Suffering,” and the band’s doomy sludge riff-o-rama points to greater things on the horizon.
