Background information about 'Exploiting Dysfunction (25th Anniversary)'

Cephalic Carnage unleashes pure sonic brutality with their groundbreaking debut "Exploiting Dysfunction", now celebrating its 25th anniversary with this deluxe reissue that's nothing short of essential. This is where the Colorado madmen first introduced their schizophrenic blend of death metal, grindcore, and experimental chaos that would define their legendary status in extreme music. From the crushing opener "Hybrid" to the epic 17-minute title track odyssey, this album is a relentless assault on conventional songwriting that still sounds absolutely devastating decades later.

The bonus disc packed with rare demo material offers a fascinating glimpse into the band's formative years, showcasing raw versions of classics like "Observer to the Obliteration of Planet Earth" and "Cryptosporidium". These early recordings capture the unbridled energy and experimental spirit that made Cephalic Carnage such a unique force in the metal underground. The production maintains that perfect balance of clarity and rawness that lets every twisted riff and blast beat hit with maximum impact.

For fans of:
Brutal Truth, Pig Destroyer, Napalm Death, Dillinger Escape Plan, Cattle Decapitation
