NEW AGORAPHOBIC NOSEBLEED/THE ENDLESS BLOCKADE SPLIT OUT ON RELAPSE!

Charles Manson's flying head saving a bunch of innocent people

Crustcake loves Agoraphobic Nosebleed, and we often wonder how they manage to put out as many splits as they do. Right after April's awesome Agorapocalypse, they're pulling out some more tasty songs from the grind oven for a split with Toronto's The Endless Blockade.

The AnB songs are supposedly new, but the songs from The Endless Blockade were recorded in 2007 for their album Primitive [Update: Some of the songs are new, just from the same recording session] . A post on their blog reveals that the reason they decided to do a split with AnB was because "at the time [they] were... avoiding Scott Hull's request to be involved in what became This Comp Kills Fascists" and that they "offered six songs from the Primitive sessions up for a split with Agoraphobic Nosebleed as a compromise." Seeing as that compilation was all-encompassingly awesome, it's a shame they refused it.

Oh well. Go buy the split!

It was recorded during Primitive session but the songs are unreleased.

oh nice! will update, thanks.

I looked at the track listing and it looks like a few of the songs were on primitive, and a few weren't.

The only two tracks that can be found on both 'Primitive' and the new split is "93 93/93" and 'The Endless Blockade", and the latter is irrelevant to that stigma since you can find a new version of it on everyone of their releases.
