MELLAKKA – R.I.P. Recordings 1984-1986 LP

Mellakka was a Finnish Hardcore Punk band formed in a small Finnish coast/industrial town called Rauma in year 1983. During their relatively short career in the mid/late 80’s, the band visited the recording studio three times, resulting two ep’s and a three-song demo.
This is among the most fierce of the classic Finnish HC punk.

This release includes both of their classic, and now quite rare singles, "Ei" ('84 EIEI001), and "Itsenaisyyspaiva" EP ('85 RAT002), the "3-song demo" recordings from 1986 and 6 unreleased rehearsal tracks from 84. In total 20 remastered tracks of finnish madness in one nice package.

▪ ltd. color 180gr. vinyl

Includes double sided insert with comprehensive Mellakka-history, discography and lyrics + sticker.

“I haven’t been real thrilled by most of the recent Finnish hardcore releases, since they’ve tended to be sloppy and/or overly generic. And even though MELLAKKA don’t offer too much that’s new in the thrash sweepstakes, they do it well. Tight and well-recorded for a D.I.Y. project."
JEFF BALE /MRR #22 • February 1985

“Mellakka’s second EP continues where the first left off, storming with fast Finnish beats in the traditional set by LAMA and KAAOS. This is high-caliber stuff and has that continual punch that keeps your ears attached to it. The beat is titanic and the guitar roars, vox effects work well also. Rate it a 9+."
