DEVIATED INSTINCT GUTTURAL BREATH

The 1990 studio album of stench-fuelled Crustcore from the UK’s Deviated Iinstinct. This vinyl edition of Guttural Breath is presented with its original sleeve artwork (made by guitarist / vocalist, Mid) and inlay, plus contains remastered audio.

One of the earlier and best examples of the Crustcore movement which was enjoying an uprising in the late 1980’s, Norwich’s primo kings of stench-headed mayhem, Deviated Instinct, were a main force in the UK scene, starting with the classic Welcome to the Orgy EP, which was among Peaceville’s earliest releases. The band toured extensively with acts such as Napalm Death, Carcass, Bolt Thrower, Amebix among others in the years to follow before disbanding in 1994. Deviated Instinct were also notable favourites of the legendary John Peel; the band recording two sessions with him in the early nineties.

Guttural Breath was the band’s second full length album, originally released in 1990, and was a continuation of the masterful hardcore punk demonstrated on their highly charged and now classic debut, Rock n Roll Conformity. The album was recorded at Beaumont Street Studios in November 1989 and produced by Peaceville founder Paul “Hammy” Halmshaw.
