20 Years of Dead C...

Dead C is one of the pioneers of the noise/drone genre and has been making advancements in the genre for quite some time now. Over the past 20 years the band has been putting out releases of some of the most intriguing and noteworthy material to grace the genre. Although remaining under the radar for most of their career, the band has rightfully been recognized this year by Ba Da Bing records by putting out a 2-disc compilation of out of print material for their 20th Anniversary. The comp is titled Vain, Erudite and Stupid: Selected Works 1987-2005 and which all the tracks were chosen by the band members themselves. Judging by their selections, I’d say this compilation serves as a great representation of the bands growth and key points in their brilliant career.

Dead C - Bitcher [MP3]

For those who haven’t had a chance to listen to this band, I highly suggest it as they blazed the trail for many of today’s most notable acts like Sunn O))), Lightning Bolt, and Wolf Eyes. Due to the expansive catalog of Dead C and the amount of out print material, the compilation also is a great starting point for anyone looking to get into the band. For those who are fans, you’ll want to pick this up too as a lot of the material on here might be bit hard to find by any other method and is probably new to most.
