and Emetic records re-released this on both CD and vinyl in 2011
and several years later, Throne records asked to re-re-release it on vinyl only
and then we broke up again :(

about

Recorded September 5, 1996 and originally released on a split 7" with Agents of Satan on 100 Years of Solitude in 1996.

lyrics

Useless human mind, searching for control
Forced a weak creation into existence
Gave it human form, such a tiny mind
Then he wrote the words, "Ignorance is bliss"
First, this God punished, then it turned its cheek
Now it turns its back on the suffering
No one asks why. Man is his own tormentor
He looks to the sky for help
He's punished by God's self-hatred, for man is his god himself

Russ plays his guitar
Gary does bass and also a guitar, but not Russ's guitar, and the blasphemy
Chiyo is drum

Human = Garbage
by Dystopia

supported by 26 fans who also own “Useless”

Love the vibe of this project as a whole. SUPER depressed angry music which relies heavily on sound clips and audio collage is my jam especially in sludge. Feels like a more deprived and crusty version of Through Silver in Blood. Either way, the balance between the audio collage and more tradition crust/sludge sections is perfect and leaves me satisfied every time I listen (which is a lot) kaiiil
