Edito de Acid Casualty (Speed Kills LP)Engineers: Terry Hill / Danny Brown (1982) + Carl Snow (1982 Mix) Remastered in 2006 by Carl Snow at Moss Hill Mastering Koro was one of the fastest, tightest and most vicious bands ever, playing some of the best-written hardcore songs of all time. This re-release contains their legendary 8-song 7? EP along with an unreleased studio session entitled ?Speed Kills.? While their EP is widely regarded as one of the defining statements of the original 80s era of hardcore punk, the Speed Kills session finds the band bringing more complexity to their songwriting, even breaking the one-minute barrier on a few tracks. Releasing a lone 8-song 7? EP during their original tenure as a band (said record now fetches upwards of $1000 on the aftermarket), Koro was one of the fastest and tightest bands of the original era of hardcore punk. Combining the velocity and ferocity of hardcore with the intricate rhythms and songwriting prowess of post-punk bands like XTC, Koro defined a unique sound that has never been successfully imitated.
