Relapse Records is working to compile The Old Testament, a posthumous two disc collection of early Anal Cunt recordings. The collection will include the 5,643 Songs EP, early splits, and the band's first demo. Founder and songwriter Seth Putman penned the liner notes shortly before his death, and the notes will also include an epilogue from original drummer Tim Morse.
Before his death, Putnam stated:
The recordings from 1988 to 1991 represent the older A.C. sound. When the band started, the goal was to be the fastest, noisiest band around and to have absolutely no trace of musicality at all - no lyrics, no song titles, no music written for the songs.... Over time, some musical parts were added here and there. The original A.C. influenced countless other bands, and was the only band [of its' kind] that actually toured and played out regularly.
