Roses are red violets are blue...... we're always puking on cider and glue :-) This album typifies Amebix although I don't know exactly what that is except I hear a dark and powerful noise. Although this band was around on the Anarcho punk scene but different from it... there is noise here that metallers nowadays would understand but lyrics settling in the subconcious prodding your fears and setting scenes not compatible with d-sneyworld.......... A part of my youth and indicative of what 'punk' used to mean before people decided to divide and analyse alternative counter-culture music.... labelling repackaging and selling to youth.

No sanctuary was Amebix's first LP and now heralded a classic. It stood apart from the plethora of nihilistic anarcho punk records of the time, alhtough containing the same doom laden lyrics the music was different, part killing joke, part motorhead and a pre curser to early metallica.
Definitely of a time, but also standing the test of time.
Buy it.

absolutely essential, long awaited reissue of ultra-influential music
7 Feb 2009
Format:Audio CD
Classic example of experimentation that occurred in the punk / post-punk scene in England in the late 70s / early 80s. This compilation has been over a decade in the making as this material has been ultra-rare for years.
Amebix's music was as equally influenced by Motorhead and Discharge as it was by Warsaw, Joy Divison, and Killing Joke. Classic gloom and doom post-punk stuff here - loads of tribal drums and brutal metallic riffage. They were the band who created the sound that was later known as "crust punk" (or whatever you wanna call it).
This CD collects their "No Sanctuary" 12in, "Winter" 7in, and "Who's the Enemy" 7in - all of which were released in the early 80s on the Spiderleg label (associated with Flux of Pink Indians and known for releasing vinyl by the Subhumans UK, Amebix, Antisect, and Flux of Pink Indians themselves).
Bands like Nausea, Tragedy, Kylesa, Neurosis, His Hero Is Gone, Disfear, and lots of other would not exist without these guys. They have been playing some highly-touted reunion gigs around the states...THIS CD IS ESSENTIAL FOR PUNK, POST-PUNK, METAL, DOOM, GLOOM, CRUST, HARDCORE, METAL FANS.
Jello - good job!

more important than the beatles.
11 Mar 2010
Format:Audio CD
luddites, squatters and anarchists in a sense that transcended fashion, this band embodied the cliche of living their music. the pre-arise material collected here is crude and historically fascinating, and foreshadows _every_ "crust," sludgecore and even post-rock band nowadays, but remains emotionally engaging and brutally sincere on its own terms. you can tell these songs were supposed to have that fat, fuzzy guitar tone that now defines crust punk, and it's a bit thinner and more, well, spidery than it should be because that's just how punk rock was produced back then, but that only slightly dates the band's moody, metallic attack.
as a side note, in contrast with the accessorized punk fatalism trendy at the time, amebix were existentialists and their songs never lost a basic humanistic undertone that suggested hope and joy--even though the song "battery humans" has some of the most disgusting lyrics ever written, outranking in base, abject vulgarity all the "goregrind" bands today wherein being gross is the point!
the best band on earth, more important than the beatles. when we put our lives into their hands, we put our hands into their chains.
