This is an early set of songs recorded in mid 2007 by the Tel-Aviv Hardcore group M.E.S.S. (or Mr. Error Sound System). It was done in a single session and mixed by Yanir from Mondo Gecko, after the initial band's lineup had changed and their style leaned more toward Hardcore Punk, as can be heard in this record.
These songs were later re-recorded and mixed by Edge of Sanity's Dan Swanö, resulting in a notable change of style, rooted in Swanö's huge experience with the sound engineering of Swedish Progressive and Death Metal, and a shift in the vocal style from a blend of clean shouts, hardcore-ish screams and sometimes melodic singing to purly harcore screaming. That final version has been released as their 2008 album Weekend Ritual Massacre, available at
Urban Decay Records, with addition of newer songs that were written especially for the album, minus a couple of tracks that were dropped, but are still on the earlier version (i.e., this one.)

this band comes from boston, Massachusetts . they was formed in late 80's. they play this kind of oldschool stoner/sludge mixed with down tempo hardcore anthems. imagine you could take all the hardcore punk sludgy riffs you like and make a full discography out of it. fucking awesome!
