Although Rise Of The Serpent Men was originally released way back in 1988, this is the first time I've heard the album, which has now been reissued with bonus tracks in 2006. Axegrinder were an English band, existing from 1986 to 1991, and their style is a combination of Punk, Grind and Metal (or Crust if you prefer) with a strong political edge. This re-release from Peaceville helpfully includes some history about the band, written by bandmember Matt, who says how the lyrical content was reflective of the band's attitude towards the world at the time - not just politics, but also greed and the "stupidity of mankind" in general.
