Beaster

Deluxe two disc (CD + NTSC/Region 0 DVD) edition of this 1993 release from the Indie Rock noisemakers fronted by Bob Mould. Recorded at the same sessions that produced their classic debut Copper Blue, this sophomore collection was very much the dark flipside to the first album's widescreen power pop. Although retaining his gift for great hooks, Beaster saw frontman and songwriter Bob Mould screaming confessional and raw emotional lyrics against a raging torrent of noisy guitars. Lovingly remastered from the original tapes in remarkably improved fidelity, this edition combines the 1993 album with a DVD featuring the band blasting through their live set in front of a huge outdoor audience at one of the many festival appearances they made that year.
