Extinction Of Mankind have been around since 1992, so they are veterans of the UK punk. They started when others finished and when time passed (20 something years) and I get the chance to hear their fourth upcoming full length album, I realise they are one of the very few who are true to what UK punk has always been about. They are the natural continuator of the UK anarcho crust punk movement started in the late 80s by the likes of Anti Sect, Amebix or Axegrinder. “Storm of Resentment” is the concentrate of the UK anarcho punk. Take what is best from it (the lyrics, the statements, the sound, the tempo, the anger and dedication) and add thrashy guitars to top it all. EOM prove you don’t need to play very fast to be brutal. “Cash Cow” intro leads you slowly into the record with its instrumental 2-minute piece. And then it all starts. Lengthy punk songs with metal influence and apocaliptic atmosphere. “Turn a Blind Eye” has very good female vocals and “Believers of Their Lies”, the 6-minute suite, contains a tirade of spoken words and sampes to complete this anarcho punk feel of this masterpiece. I remember very well the first time I heard the great “Baptised In Shit”. This one is equally good, if not better. 1000 copies pressed, 100 of them will come in a crazy circular saw-shaped 2 colors (purple black haze) vinyl all packed up in a typical Crass style poster/sleeve to keep the 80'es feeling stronger than ever.

Extinction of Mankind is a UK crust punk
band formed in 1992. The original line up consisted of Ste (vocals),
Mass (guitar), Fozzy (bass), and Foz (drums). With plenty of practices
and gigs under their belt, their first split EP with Warcollapse was released at the end of 1993. The next split EP with Doom
was released in 1994. The Weakness EP was also released in 1994 and a
tour of Europe with Doom was undertaken. After the tour Fozzy left the
band to be replaced by Ginny on bass duties, and work on the Baptised in Shit
album began. With the album recorded, the band set out on another tour
of Europe with Warcollapse in 1995 and the album was released during
this tour. 1996 saw another tour of Europe this time with Misery, with Marvin (Varukers)
playing bass due to family commitments of Ginny. Around this time a
plan to release a split album with Misery surfaced, though it wasn't
until quite some time aftert that it ever happened. Early 1998
saw the recording of the "Scars of Mankind" EP. Around this time Foz
left the band to be replaced by Tony on drums. Then a tour of the UK and
Scotland with Wolfpack. After this tour it was decided to go the two guitarist route bringing in Scoot (ex-Largactil, Doom, HK),
but things didn't work out and Mass left leaving Scoot sole guitar
duties. 1999 brought a tour of Sweden and Norway with Wolfpack and Skitsystem.
The end of 1999 saw both E.O.M. and Misery in the studio to record
their split album Apocalyptic Crust, finally. 2000 and a tour of the
West Coast of the US with Misery was undertaken, although with no sign
of the album being put out. In 2001, after lots of chasing about
and confusion, 2 years after recording, the album finally came out, on
CD and two different 12" vinyls. A return to the US to do the East Coast
and Canada again with Misery brought that the year to an end. In 2002,
the "Ale to England" EP came out, this being 3 years after its recording
(these were songs recorded during the Apocalyptic Crust sessions). In
2003 E.O.M. had no tours, but a few UK dates with Bomb Blast Men.
The band went into the studio to record their second full length album,
which is scheduled to come out in 2008, which would make its release 8
years after its predecessor. In 2004, E.O.M. recorded "The Nightmare
Seconds," released by Profane Existence on CD and vinyl in the US. Around this time, the band was featured in Issue 27 of Terrorizer magazine. Gigs with Avskum, Broken Bones, Bait, Forca Macabra comprised their European tour. E.O.M. then played the Profane Existence 15th Anniversery bash with Misery, Provoked, Disrespect, Ass and Blackout in Minneapolis. In 2005 they played gigs around the UK including benefits for Stig from Icons of Filth & Wayne from Doom who both sadly passed away, 3 gigs in Finland with the mighty Forca Macabra, Riistetyt, and Unkind, as well as recording two tracks for compilations. In
April 2006 they went into the studio to record Northern Scum the next
full length LP, 2 gigs in italy in may & hopefully a West Coast USA
tour at some point.
