Warfair?- Earmageddon LP

I still like this album just as much as the first time I heard it.  It also reminds me of a time when I understood what the fuck was going on with grindcore, or at least it felt that way.  It was an exciting time for me.  I wanted so badly for my band of the time to go on tour, and in the process get to play with Warfair?.  That, sadly and predictably, never happened.  I remember this band having a post on myspace that said something to the effect of wanting labels to release the stuff they had recorded, but all labels were too busy releasing even more Agathocles and Unholy Grave records.

This record not only sounds good, but looks cool.  The black cover is printed with grey ink, and the front and back sides are fucking SEWN TOGETHER.  The song titles are cool, the artwork rules, (especially the poster, which was on my bedroom wall for quite a long time), and what an awesome album title!  The drumming is pretty good, which is absolutely necessary on a grindcore record.  It's got the perfect snappy snare that so many bands do wrong.  The guitars are thick, and the big-dog/ little-dog vocals are well balanced.  The songs, and the record as a whole, have good momentum.

From time to time, I hear murmurs of this band getting back together, or releasing more material that was recorded back when, or all kinds of other things, but it never seems to get past the rumor stage.  I would be really happy if any of it were true.  The full album is on Youtube, but for some reason I can't share it properly on here, so here's one song instead.
