I never really knew much about Union of Uranus, except for that the first time I heard them they blew my mind. It was such aggressive and super dynamic hardcore, and like nothing i had ever heard before.

As as kid I knew they were one of a few bands out of Canada on The Great American Steak Religion label, which housed some other bands that I loved (One Eyed God Prophecy, Drift, and Shotmaker). If you click on the link it will go to a MySpace fan page that  basically sums it all up for you.

This spilt with Immoral Squad (I never really listened to that side) was on of my favorite (and most brutal) 7″ records that really got me going in my youth. I never had the opportunity to see them live, but I’m sure they were more than impressive. I did however get to see the guitar player Yannik’s other band, His Hero is Gone, so I am sure I would have not been let down.
