I posted this tape (well, a different version of this tape) a decade ago, but that link is long dead and the whole thing deserves a revisit. DEPRESSOR dominated the shadows of Bay Area sludge/crust in the late '90s, you'd hear about them in passing or in whispers (or not at all) and their shows were few and far between. But the tapes kept coming (the perks of an operation primarily driven by one force), from this early industrial-tinged monstrosity to the metallic crust monolith they would become later in the decade. I don't think I saw them more than once (Mission Records, of course), but these recordings...almost 30 years old and (still) devastating.
