CD - Loving reissue of unsung death rock heroes Ex Voto's 1990 12" EP "Don't Look Back" paired with a cavalcade of unreleased 80's material. The 80's SoCal death rock scene was anything but organized, hence a group like Ex Voto, who had been around in some form or another since 1982, making their vinyl debut in 1990. The group's Anglo influences are all fairly apparent--Sisters of Mercy, Alien Sex Fiend, Joy Division and the like--but the group puts the same distinctly Southern Californian spin on the sound as their peers Kommunity FK, Christian Death or VooDoo Church. There are even shades of EBM, anticipating the industrial boom of the dawning 90's. Highly recommended for any 80's gothic gourmands
