I know Abe is going to chew me out over this one beacuase of the scratching and faux rapping but Mordred have a very special place in my heart. When I first began buying metal it was in the good old days of cassette tapes, you could pop into the local Our Price and swap the inlays from one cassette case to another making your choices dramatically cheaper, however when I reached sweet 16 my parents treated me to a CD player and the first CD I got? A CD replacement for my tape copy of Mordred’s In This Life and Falling Away is my favourite song on the album so here it is.
Now don’t give me any of that this is nu metal bullshit. This was realeased in 1991, 15 years ago when having a DJ with your band was exciting and innovative and not a sure fire route to the cover of Kerrang. Anyways I think this band are kick ass and a whole heap better than the dross of funk metal that they got lumped in with. However whilst they were flavour of the month they toured heavily in Europe (perhaps because they were signed to Noise Records) and seemed to play the Marquee on Charring Cross road every six weeks. Needless to say me and my friends would be there as often as we could.
Well enjoy this and try to imagine how fresh it would have sounded over 15 years ago.
