Reissue, originally released in 1990. Following the differences that saw the original group implode on the road in 1989, Cryptic Slaughter's guitarist Les Evans moved to Portland, Oregon, where he formed a new band with former Wehrmarkt and Sweaty Nipples drummer Brian Lehfeldt, plus bassist Bret Davis and vocalist Dave Hollingsworth, both formerly in local hardcore band Crud. Now metal was much more prominent and hardcore on the wane, but there are still signature tempo changes, here within longer, more complex song structures, prefacing the industrial and post-thrash crossover acts to follow. An enduring swansong for all lovers of these metalcore innovators. Black vinyl. Double-sided insert included with an exclusive interview and liner notes by Alexandros Anesiadis.

Reissue, originally released in 1988. Formed in Santa Monica in 1984 by guitarist Les Evans, drummer Scott Peterson, and bassist Adam Scott -- soon replaced by Rob Nicholson, who joined after singer Bill Crooks arrived, metalcore pioneers Cryptic Slaughter gained an early reputation as one of the fastest of all west coast hardcore bands. Following the success of Convicted (1986) and Money Talks (1987), Stream Of Consciousness is the last album to feature the original line-up, the band having broken up prior to its release; with multiple tempo changes on each song, this is the group at their inventive peak, prior to the regrouping that brought a more concerted metal direction. A milestone in the history of crossover thrash. Black vinyl. Includes double-sided lyrics insert.
