SUBJECT Inevitable, Inimitable... Unexcelled CD

The 2017 CD compilation Inevitable, Inimitable... Unexcelled by the Hungarian band Subject, released through the specialized archival label Metal Ör Die Records, serves as a crucial retrospective of one of Budapest's most intense death/grind pioneers from the early 1990s. This release professionally gathers the band's core discography, which was previously scattered across rare and obscure cassette tapes, effectively preserving their contribution to the Eastern European extreme metal underground. The album primarily features the legendary Nihilistic Perspectives demo from 1992, which gained international attention through the American label Wild Rags Records, alongside the Diaphanous Writhes of a Soul EP from 1993 and several previously unreleased tracks such as The Day of Revolt and Victims of Decay. Musicaly, the compilation captures a band in a state of raw, chaotic evolution, blending the aggression of early grindcore with the crushing weight of old-school death metal. The sound is defined by frantic drum patterns, jagged riffs, and a visceral vocal delivery that perfectly reflects the transition of the Hungarian scene from thrash metal toward more extreme territory. Beyond the music, the Metal Ör Die Records edition is highly valued by collectors for its extensive 16-page booklet, which includes rare archival photographs and a detailed history of the band, providing essential context for their role in the formative years of the Hungarian death metal movement. This release remains a definitive historical document for anyone exploring the foundations of extreme music in Hungary before the band shifted their sound and eventually dissolved.
