Hiatus - The brain & El sueno de la razon produce monstruos

I'm glad to continue where the previous post of 7inchcrust stopped. Hiatus. Hiatus was a crust / core band from liege, belgium. They released some of the most energetic and influential albums of all (crust) time in their brief history. But first i have to tell my own story of "fell-in-love" with hiatus. Read it or not, the download link is on the bottom.

Destroy me
Before thousands of years, Alex from Hibernation used to run a distro called "Drapetes tis siopis". There was a time with no internet, so all the distro news, 7inches etc was written by hand. If you were a good boy, sometimes alex sent over some great new albums for free (yeah, he was a "large" guy). Someday, i read in a new issue of his distro : "Hiatus. for many people this is the best crust band ever". I was shocked. What do you mean with the word best? I knew Doom and E.N.T and no-one else could be "the best". So, i ordered one copy from this cd re-release. It has the two last albums before the band fell in hiatus (hahaaahha) "The brain & El sueno de la razon produce monstruos" and has been released by Nabate records.

The sound is more technical than the first hiatus 7'' while the vocals remaining great doggy-shouting. The mixing of old Doom d-beat with metallic riffs makes this a classic and still nowadays i can't feel boring with these Hellgians, not for one single second. The first 8 tracks is "the brain" 12'' and you can compare it easily to Skew whiff (two of the hiatus members continue the legacy), track 9 is a rehearsal and the rest is from "El sueno...". If you are lucky enough buy this cd. It comes with a huge booklet foul of pics of the band, posters from that era, lyrics and a great euro-tour review in two languages (english and french). The guys were drunk all the fucking time. And yes, i can say THIS IS THE BEST CRUST BAND EVER.

the rip is from my own cd and i hope you'll enjoy it. The Hiatus puzzle seems to getting close to the end, right billy?

Hey, what a great band.
Hiatus was (and still is) one of the best crust band.
Maybe the band that i saw live the most (and drink too much beer with Willy).
The Brain is my fav' release: love it or hate it. much metallic sound but the best songs.
...but the real best crust band is here:
