„God, honour, fatherland – fascism” - is a title of 1992 debut album by Poznan's Apatia – now for the first time available on vinyl.
In the early 1990s when diy punk scene had really formed in Poland the most important names included Inkwizycja and Apatia, you could see them at every second gig, not just in their hometown Poznan, which soon saw the rise of Rozbrat squat, with Apatia members involved.
Their previous band - HCP was known for the 7" released by the Swiss label Resistance Productions, after its demise, they formed Apatia and the new band was quick to release a couple of early demo / live tapes. They were involved in organisisng diy shows, in zine publishing („Greencore” made by the guitarist), ecological, animal rights and anti-fascist activities, the singer was in the crew that started squatting the place known as Rozbrat till nowadays.
Musically, they were influenced by the early 1990s ragers mixing it with more „emotional” approach. They cited likes of Dischord bands of that era or Verbal Assault on one side and So Much Hate on the other.
We had offered them a chance to release the record at the same time we talked to Inkwizycja - but when they finally recorded in a "real" studio (famous Gold Rock, run by Armia / Kryzys / Brygada Kryzys guitar player) it was almost 2 years later and the vinyl market was slowly dying in Poland.
