While a plethora of acts shared the name, the Midwestern, U.S.A.'s Final Conflict towers mightly above the rest, despite only having released one, four-song 7" that was produced by thee Bob Mould. This Final Conflict EP sounds like Cows And Beers-era Die Kreuzen mixed with United Mutation, all sung by a tougher-sounding Rebel Truth vocalist. Or something. Released in 1983 on Reflex, it came out around the same time as many 80s hardcore classics, like Mould's own Metal Circus, yet has suffered from an odd bout of obscurity, which is strange considering these four songs sound just as vibrant as anything created by their peers.

Less than a week ago, at Chaos in Tejas, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that this 7", like the first two Willful Neglect 12"s, has been repressed by Havoc and that there are still copies available. These two releases, both engineered by Steve Fjelsted, are classics that are not to be missed.
