“Divisions” by Unseen Terror

Extreme music, especially metal, typically gets a bad rap. Instruments and vocals are often heavily distorted and the imagery used alerts school psychologists, counselors, and at one point the PMRC. But if each of these groups had just read the lyrics to most of these songs, they would have found them to be antiwar and anti-corporation, with ideals that championed integration, peace, and dare I say it, love.
  
Unseen Terror was formed in 1986 by Mitch Dickinson and Shane Embury. Pete Giles, Mick Harris, Wayne Aston, and Carl Stokes would each perform with the group, but on their debut album Human Error, it was only the two original members. Named after the radiation from the Chernobyl disaster, Unseen Terror is considered one of the originators of grindcore.
​  
“Divisions” is the 3rd song from Human Error. It’s a raw, classic grindcore track that wears its hardcore punk influences with pride. It’s also a song with lyrics that denounce racism and classism.
