REPURPOSING THE REALITIES OF WAR FOR THE ULTIMATE STATEMENT IN DARK, BROODING, HEAVY, ATMOSPHERIC UK PUNK.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on a photograph taken by Soviet photographer Dmitri Baltermants, brutally displaying the aftermath of a German Wehrmacht massacre of Jews in Kerch, c. January 1942. The village women search the bodies for loved ones... the woman standing with her arms out would later find the body of her murdered son.

PIC #2: English crust punk/heavy punk band AMEBIX later repurposed the same WWII image for cover art to their 1983 debut full-length album, "No Sanctuary," released on Spiderleg Records.

PICTURE OVERVIEW: "Kerch, Crimea, January 1942. Operation Barbarossa, Hitler’s invasion of the Soviet Union launched on 22 June 1941, flung some 150 divisions and 3 million men into battle along an 1,800-mile front from the Baltic to the Black Sea. Here, seven months later, at the southern end of the front, at Kerch in the Crimean peninsula (now part of an independent Ukraine), families identify the Soviet dead. Barely one week later, on 10 January 1942, Marshal Zhukov launched the great Red Army counterattack on the central front that forced the Germans to retreat for the first time."

ECHOES & DUST: "How exciting was it being in the studio doing the "Who’s the Enemy" and "No Sanctuary" EPs?"

STIG C. MILLER: "Who’s The Enemy" EP, we recorded in a few hours at S.A.M studios in Bristol with Steve Street at the desk if I remember rightly, pretty much unrehearsed. We just went in and banged out what we could as quickly as we could mixed it then it was done. "No Sanctuary," we actually had some rehearsed songs to record so it took a few days in Southern Studios in London to bang them down, that was more enjoyable as ideas were flowing and at the end of each day we would have new ideas to put in. Things seemed to flow fairly effortlessly, music is a pleasure to be involved in when the ideas are flowing and you can see “the face in the fog taking shape as it moves toward you and becomes recognisable“, so to speak."
