In celebration of their impending twentieth anniversary, Ohio sludgecore veterans Fistula are releasing the first wave of an ongoing split seven-inch series. The initial disc finds them with -16- who cover Killing Joke’s “Complications” while they themselves hit into Devo’s “Mongoloid”. But, while ‘16’ manage to find some charm and interest in their cover, the same can’t be said for Fistula, whose take on “Mongoloid” has none of the angst and power of the original.
