Legion Of Parasites Prison Of Life LP is the legendary 1985 full-length album from the Pavenham Bedfordshire UK anarcho-punk band, originally released on Trash Records. This Legion Of Parasites LP delivers essential second-wave UK anarcho-punk fury - the album the band finally made after years of cassettes, compilation tracks, and EPs on Conflict frontman Colin Jerwood's Fight Back label. The reissue includes bonus tracks. Legion of Parasites formed in 1981 when three lads aged 14 to 17 in Pavenham Bedfordshire discovered Crass and the burgeoning anarcho-punk movement. The same demo tape that landed them on the legendary 1983 Pax compilation Bollox to the Gonads Here's the Testicles (alongside Flux of Pink Indians and Dead Kennedys) got them onto two American compilation LPs - Compulsory Overtime and Empty Skulls Vol. 2 - building international interest. Their six-song Undesirable Guests 12 inch on Fight Back was a huge success, and their track Sea of Desecration became their best-known song before they finally recorded this full-length. Lineup of Cian on bass and vocals, Sean on guitar, and Wag on drums. Essential listening for fans of UK anarcho-punk, second-wave UK82 hardcore, Crass-era political punk, and the foundational British anarcho-punk underground alongside Crass, Conflict, Flux of Pink Indians, and Icons of Filth.
