Classic and legendary international HC comp put out by Pushead (who of course did the artwork and included his own band Septic Death) in 1985.
“Cleanse the Bacteria (in Spanish , “Clean bacteria”) is a compilation album of hardcore punk groupspublished in 1985 by the Pusmort Records label and compiled by the graphic artist Pushead (owner of Pusmort and singer of Septic Death ), whose drawings illustrate the album cover.
It is a compilation that has acquired the category of cult album. In it, several pioneering bands of hardcore punk and grindcore appear , such as Siege (of whom this is their only official reference).
The album features Pushead artwork on the cover and was the label’s second release (Pusmort reference 0012-02). The first run came with a free maxi single (Pusmort 0012-03), with more songs from some of the groups on the compilation.
Although several of the groups included are of American origin , the majority come from different countries, which makes the album one of the first international hardcore compilations (after Welcome to 1984 , World class punk , PEACE and a few others). Along with the North Americans ( 7 Seconds , the aforementioned Siege , Corrosion of Conformity , Poison Idea and Pushead’s Septic Death ), there are the Australians Civil Dissident , the English Instigators and Part 1 (a group ofdarkwave related to Rudimentary Peni ), the Swedes Crude SS and Mob 47 , the Norwegians Akutt Innleggelse , the Japanese Execute , the Dutch Genocide Express (ex Agent Orange ), the Germans Inferno , the Danish Enola Gay , the Finnish Holy Dolls (ex Riistetyt ), the Belgians Zyklome A and the Austrians Extrem.” Wikipedia
