Slip is the debut studio album by American post-hardcore band Quicksand, released on February 9, 1993, through Polydor Records. "Omission" and "Unfulfilled" first appeared on their 1990 self-titled EP. Slip was well received by music critics and is now considered a classic in the post-hardcore and alternative metal genres, influencing many acts including Torche and Deftones. The lead single off the album, "Fazer", became a college radio hit. The album was reissued on vinyl in 2012, through Dine Alone Records and Shop Radio Cast. The reissue featured a cover of The Smiths song "How Soon Is Now?". On February 3, 2023, Quicksand announced a 30th Anniversary Edition of their debut LP "Slip" being re-issued on vinyl by the Boston based record label Iodine Recordings. The 30th Anniversary Edition of "Slip" also included a 64-page hardcover book with band photographs, rare concert posters, and a foreword by Walter Schreifels. The book also contains commentary from notable musicians from the punk scene, including: Scott Ian of Anthrax, Geoff Rickly of Thursday, Stephen Brodsky of Cave In, Dennis Lyxzén of Refused, Tim McIlrath of Rise Against, and many more. The record was also remastered for vinyl using the original 1993 master tapes.
Post-hardcore album with nice catchy, pointy and edgy rock songs. Intense, a lot of energy and dynamics. Reminds me of Helmet and Fugazi.
When you order Undertow-era Tool from Temu.
Never heard of these guys before. Wicked Deftones vibes. I can see how these guys are (my words) godfathers of post hardcore. Pretty neat. Ran me down a rabbit hole of other similars as well.
Very standard early 90s rock. Somewhere between Grunge and whatever, like, Tool became.
Early 90s grunge etc
Hardcore. Decent.
