Welp there's no thread on ILX for the greatest LA death rock band of all time. Sleep In Safety is a perfect album.

S: Autopsy - early punkier stuff. If you wish the Bags made more records, get this (although it's hard to find unfortunately)

I saw this show, and they blew my mind at age 18

so classic
I FINALLY got a replacement copy for my old long-gone Sleep In Safety LP, just a couple of weeks ago.

Didn’t even realize that the singer had reunited the band ( albeit with new members it appears). Only knew of them in late 70s and early 80s . So no

way more "punk" than Sleep In Safety, earlier material - I love 'em both though.
avoid the "Debasement Tapes" cash-grab CD

Autopsy is brilliant, I see I have been otm in this thread.
Sleep in safety is good too of course

I remember the Trouser Press book saying something like "why this is appealing to young people I will never understand," but the online review has been updated. I never gave them a listen before today, but Sleep in Safety is appealing to this (old) person.

Sleeve is also correct about the Debasement Tapes (which I knew as A Devil's Possessions as Cleopatra reissued it with a new title it looks like). Shit quality live stuff
High five sleeve

hell yeah <3

and I will say that "Fucked By The Devil" is pretty essential and only on that Cleopatra CD, but that's it
