Years Of Struggle Against The Lies, The Stupidity And The Cowardice - 2010 US Dark Entries label 7-

2010 US Dark Entries label 7-track limited and numbered vinyl LP - a remastered reissue of martin Hall, Inge Shannon and Per Hendrichsens art-rock/post-punk work recorded at Karma studio in 1981, but first released in 1985 as a music cassette with the Danish artzine Atlas #1.

'Years of Struggleis a hitherto rarely heard album that exemplified the black-hole nihilism and hostile theatrics found in the abstractionist fractions of the post-punk movement. After this sole Pesteg Dred recording Hall formed a number of darkwave projects in Denmark with considerable aplomb, but the innovation coupled with the claustrophobia of Years of Struggle is so strong that I have to wonder where Pesteg Dred might have gone if they had had the opportunity back in the day.' Jim Haynes, The Wire
