UK grind/death veterans Prophecy Of Doom formed in Gloucestershire, 1988, with bassist Martin Holt &amp; vocalist Shrew Schroder uniting to embark upon a journey to create something challenging &amp; memorable to stand out in the UK scene. After a few personnel changes whilst looking to establish a permanent recording line-up after their 1988 demo &amp; the 1989 EP, ‘Calculated Mind Rape’ (which had brought the band to the attention of legendary DJ John Peel), the time had come to create their debut full-length album.

And so ‘Acknowledge The Confusion Master’ came to be &amp; was released in 1990 on the burgeoning Peaceville Records &amp; their then newly established sub-label, Deaf Records. A highly effective concoction of blasting amid a titanic wall of raw grinding riffs &amp; chaos propelled Prophecy Of Doom to the forefront of the scene, also leading to two recording sessions with John Peel, &amp; further enforcing Prophecy Of Doom’s position on the map of notable British grind acts.

As a further distinguishing factor, there was a great depth &amp; consideration to the themes of the album, perhaps in stark contrast to how the tracks were presented sonically. Written by mainman/vocalist “Shrew”, there with a strong philosophical element to the lyrics, an exploration of awareness &amp; intuition amid an era of increasingly suppressed feelings &amp; an urge to rise above mental restrictions.

This vinyl edition of ‘Acknowledge The Confusion Master’ contains cover artwork from the 1990 release with printed inner sleeve containing lyrics &amp; receives its first vinyl pressing on Peaceville since that initial 1990 edition.
