Tragiedia Demo ’89 EP
I first encountered TRAGIEDIA’s songs via the 2009 POST REGIMENT album Tragiedia Wg Post Regiment, in which they collaborated with a couple original members to re-record TRAGIEDIA tunes that had not at that time been properly released. In 2015, the Todo Destruido label remedied the situation by releasing the Punk ‘Til Destruction LP, compiling the band’s two demos into one ripping full-length. So now we have Warsaw Pact revisiting the material in a more concise fashion, offering the 1989 demo as a standalone 7” with a sick booklet that fleshes out the history of the band and includes an illuminating interview. There’s a very simple reason that these tracks keep remerging—they are absolutely savage. Five crushing cuts of uncompromising hardcore punk that easily demonstrate why the band was so inspiring. Crucial!
