Mata Leão (Tan Vinyl)

Record Store Day Title!

“Mata leao” means “lion killer” in Portuguese, an appropriate title for this beast of an album, Biohazard’s first as a trio. In this case less is more; with a sound blending so many ingredients (hardcore, rap, metal), the increased focus brought on by the streamlined line-up just hardens the tip of the jackhammer. Produced by Dave Jerden of Jane’s Addiction and Alice in Chains fame, this 1996 release sees its first U.S. issue on vinyl, complete with printed inner sleeve. Tan vinyl pressing limited to 2000 copies!
