Deviated Instinct

2019 reissue / 180g black vinyl
+ printed inner sleeve

The 1988 crustcore classic debut. Norwich’s primo kings of stench-headed mayhem, Deviated Instinct, were a main force in the UK scene, starting with the classic Welcome to the Orgy EP, which was among Peaceville’s earliest releases. The band toured extensively with acts such as Napalm Death, Carcass, Bolt Thrower, Amebix among others in the years to follow before disbanding in 1994. Deviated Instinct were favourites of the legendary John Peel and the band recorded two sessions with him in the early 1990s. Rock n Roll Conformity was the band’s debut full length album - originally released in 1988 - and demonstrated a ferocity matching any of their peers. The album was recorded at Lion Studios and produced by Peaceville founder Paul “Hammy” Halmshaw.
