EBOLA - Imprecation - 7" - 1997


...some bands should need no introduction...but for some reason still do. Released by legendary labels Flat Earth, Enslaved & Refusenik Records, this is Ebola's masterpiece. The one record where everything came together. It's seven-inches of angry pissed off political sincere hardcore punk brilliance. The kind you can't fake or recreate. The UK had a fantastic DIY scene at the time of this coming out and, being stuck in a somewhat quieter The Netherlands at the time, we eyed it with envy and picked up most of what was released by it's string of active labels. I still remember getting this that year, reading the thick booklet cover to cover and the vinyl not leaving my record player for weeks. It's been a regular on the turntable ever since. A total classic which, due to not being 'hip' and being pressed in the thousands, can be picked up easily and cheaply still the way it should be.
