Disarm
Existence Demo 1985
Continuing in their campaign to unveil the hidden history of the 1980s Virginian hardcore punk scene, Beach Impediment
unearths the "Existence Demo 1985" by Virginia Beach skate thrashers DISARM. Taking inspiration from New Yorks AGNOSTIC
FRONT, Boston's SS DECONTROL, Sweden's ANTI-CIMEX as well as the burgeoning thrash metal from Californias SLAYER and
POSSESSED, DISARM were truly a product of their time and in their brief two-year lifespan, the teenaged quartet bombed
up and down the east coast sharing stages with CORROSION OF CONFORMITY, YOUTH OF TODAY and GANG GREEN among others.
Recorded in a suburban garage studio during a sweltering summer, "Existence Demo 1985" combines the brute sonic force of
hardcore with a blinding thrash delivery to create one of the most unheralded demo tapes of the era. Remastered from the
original reels by CHRIS CORRY and released in conjunction with NO IDOLS, the "Existence Demo 1985" gets its
well-deserved vinyl debut, almost 40 years after its recording.
Each record features a layout adorned with imagery from the band's brief existence along with liner notes derived from
an interview conducted by Tony Rettman with guitarist Raymond Epstein and vocalist Bryan Zentz. Limited to a one time
pressing of 500 copies.
