Whaddya mean you don't know Tales Of Terror

Decades overdue, Fire Records recently reissued Tales of Terror's influential 1984 debut album, one of Kurt Cobain's all-time faves. 


Here's the scoop from Fire Records...

Often cited as a major influence on the key bands of the grunge era (Nirvana, Melvins, Mudhoney etc.) Tales Of Terror‘s one & only LP is an overlooked classic of 80s NorCal punk rock.

Available for the first time in more than 30 years, Kurt Cobain‘s 32nd-favourite-album-of-all-time is chaotic and charismatic in equal parts; the band’s story is tinged with tragedy, but the music they played was life-affirming.

Wild, heads down proto thrash metal meets punk excess; think early Guns n’ Roses meets Iggy at the bar from a band whose trajectory was cut short after the death of guitarist Lyon Wong in 1986.

A cobweb dispersing buried treasure that stands alongside the debut of The Damned and draws a shaky line through grunge to At The Drive In and way beyond. A super rare release, unavailable for over 30 years; remastered and ready to be cranked up to full volume.
