Inure - Inure (Rough Mixes) (2003)
Last month, I wrote about Plaguewielder and Diablero, two of many great, virtually unknown, crusty metal bands from early 2000s Baltimore. Today, I bring you Inure, arguably the Holy Grail of the bunch. They were siiiiick -- a hybrid of crust, death metal, melodic black metal, and thrash, with a frontwoman whose banshee-like scream belied her gift for soulful clean vox -- and it's a goddamn travesty that they never got more attention.
Inure recorded their only LP in 2003, but it wasn't released until 2006, long after they had broken up, when, as I recall, the guy who ran their label went rogue and just put it out. And while I'm not bothered by that choice, I am bothered by the track order -- why in the fuck would you put the mellow, five-minute-long instrumental first? -- so what I'm posting is from the CDr that started circulating shortly after the recording sessions had concluded. It might be slightly more raw or something, but trust me, this is the superior version.
Track listing:
1. Pray Harder (And It Still Won't Work)
2. Dos
3. Into the Ending
4. Mudfoot
5. Dollars Will Dance
6. Harvest
7. Untitled
8. Suffer the Sickness
Might as well kill me

Is there a 320 rip from the cdr? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI'll try to find the cdr, and if I can I'll make one. I made this rip waaaay back in the day, before I knew anything about bitrates
Deletethe rough mixes are really intense,
ReplyDeletebut at this point i'm really curious about the clean mixes...
Could you upload also the official album??

I actually only have a physical copy of the LP, but these are (I believe) the mixes that ended up on it, just unmastered -- as I mention above, they broke up before they had sorted these recordings out and label dude just went for it.
DeleteI know it's been a while but could you please re-up
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this
