INKISIÇÃO / MENTES PODRES Inkisição / Mentes Podres CD

The 2017 split CD featuring the Aveiro based bands Inkisição and Mentes Podres, released through Firecum Records in collaboration with Zerowork Records and Dog City Records, serves as a vital historical archive of the Portuguese punk and hardcore scene of the early 1990s. This comprehensive release gathers together 37 tracks of remastered material, primarily focusing on the seminal debut demos of both groups which were previously only available on rare cassette tapes. The Inkisição portion of the disc features their 1992 demo Alternativa! alongside studio tracks from the Rec n' Roll sessions and previously unreleased 1991 rehearsals, showcasing the band's fierce anarcho-punk stance and tracks like Porcos Fascistas. The Mentes Podres section includes their 1992 demo 1º Arroto as well as an extensive selection of rehearsal recordings from 1991, capturing a raw and direct hardcore punk sound characterized by songs like Estou Mesmo Mal. Since both bands shared members and were central figures in the Aveiro underground, this split CD acts as a definitive document of a specific time and place in Portuguese counter-culture. By preserving these recordings in a professional digital format with updated artwork, Firecum Records ensured that the legacy of these influential DIY bands—including Inkisição's early 90s European tour history and the raw energy of the Aveiro punk movement—remains accessible to new generations of fans and collectors.
