Mumia Abu-Jamal With Music By Man Is The Bastard - Spoken Word [1997]

Mumia Abu-Jamal is a prisoner of racist attitudes and interracial politics. Convicted of the murder of a white policeman and sentenced to death, his previous political activism probably more than made up for the apparent lack of evidence against him. This is a collection of broadcasts made by him whilst on death row, and some of his opponents (which further suggest his innocence, as none of them give arguments even close to coherent).

N.B. Man Is The Bastard's contribution to this is minimal; if spoken word on these themes doesn't interest you, don't expect a powerviolence album.

Bitrate is irrelevant, but it's 128 kbps.

Man Is The Bastard - Thoughtless [1995]

I'm sure you've all gathered at least a little that I love more aggressive punky music, so Man Is The Bastard, pioneers of powerviolence, were naturally going to appeal to me. This is their debut full-length (and possibly their only one, depending on how you see Mancruel), and it's brilliant, simply put.

Man Is The Bastard - Mancruel [2000]

Although I earlier posted some powerviolence in the form of ACxDC, this album, adorned by MITB's trademark simplistic artwork, is THE classic of powerviolence. Even if you have no particular interest in the genre, you should not go without hearing this album.

128 kbps (but doesn't really need more, being PV)
