PROTO-DEATH METAL VOCALS IN AMERICAN HARDCORE -- CLASS OF '83.
PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on Arlington, Virginia "outsider" hardcore punk band UNITED MUTATION, established 1980 as DARK SELF IMAGE, and now infamous among hardcore circles for having some of the grimmest, most grotesque vocals of their day.
YOU BREED LIKE RATS: "How did Mike Brown come up with such a disgusting, and amazing, voice (years before many death metal and hardcore bands would adopt similar styles)?"
JAY FOX (U.M. bassist): "Mike Brown's voice… No effort was made, that's the way it came out. He eid work on it after the fact but it was never planned as a vocal style. We have been touted as being innovators in the style as well as criticized by people who seem to think we were bandwagon jumpers, but the truth is, that was Mike's voice. What you hear is what it was."

"... TODAY'S TRENDY HORROR ROCKERS WILL CRAP THEIR PANTS AND GO INTO CONVULSIONS WHEN THEY HEAR THE SINGER'S RASPY GROWL..."
PICS INFO: Mega spotlight on package design for the "Fugitive Family" 7 inch vinyl EP by Richmond, VA-based hardcore punk band, UNITED MUTATION, released jointly in 1983 by DSI/Dischord Records. First press consisted of only 1000 copies made.
MINI-REVIEW: "A truly amazing record. UNITED MUTATION have combined the speed and intensity of basic thrash with some highly distinctive structural changes, a couple of nasty guitar leads, and the scariest vocals I’ve heard in a long time. Today’s trendy horror rockers will crap their pants and go into convulsions when they hear the singer’s raspy growl, which bears a striking resemblance to that of the demon in "The Exorcist.""
