SELF ABUSE - Unestablished Since 1982 LP Drums but debut EP Irkalla Transcendence

but debut EP Irkalla Transcendence is first and foremost a death metal release

Electronica-Guitar-Post-Punk with a sinister touch

Sludge and Noise that will cut your mind

drum machines and vocals

Saccharine sweetness or fatalistic tales of unrequited affection are nowhere to be found on Love In Shadow

SELF ABUSE - Unestablished Since 1982 LP Drums but debut EP Irkalla TranscendenceSelf Abuse was formed in Bournemouth, Dorset in January 1982 when Andy Nazer [vocals bass] and Dave Brown [guitar vocals] both 16 old and still at school, got together with Roger [later Jarvis] Smale [guitar] and Steve Ridgeway [drums] both age 17. The first gig was played in at the Sloop pub, Poole, [with Barbed Wire] in October and the first cassette 'State of Mind' was recorded and released on their own 'Abused Tapes' label later that year. 1983
