Description
Defecation – Purity Dilution – Compact Disc
Purity Dilution is an album by the British grindcore band Defecation. Serving as the band’s debut album, it was released in 1989 and is recognized as a cornerstone of the grindcore genre.
Grindcore is renowned for its extreme and unapologetically aggressive approach to music, often characterized by rapid tempo, abrasive guitar riffs, and intense vocals. Purity Dilution exemplifies these qualities and more, delivering a sonic assault that encapsulates the raw essence of grindcore.
As a side project of Mick Harris, who was already a respected member of Napalm Death, Defecation allowed him to explore even darker and more chaotic sonic territories. Purity Dilution showcases the unrelenting ferocity that has come to define grindcore, with each track serving as a condensed burst of sonic energy that leaves a lasting impact.
The album’s title, ‘Purity Dilution,’ carries an aura of contradiction, reflecting the tumultuous blend of extremities that defines the grindcore genre. The music is far from pure, yet it’s diluted with layers of intensity and aggression, creating an overwhelming auditory experience.
While Defecation might not have reached the same level of recognition as some of their peers, Purity Dilution remains a vital release within the grindcore movement. The album’s concise yet impactful tracks capture the essence of grindcore’s cathartic and confrontational nature, making it an essential listen for fans of extreme music who appreciate unfiltered, unapologetic sonic expressions.
This is the original pressing 1989/1992 in a hard CD case, not the digi-pak reissue. This version features a different cover artwork.
