The series revisits over twenty rare releases recorded at Southern Studios and produced by Penny Rimbaud, originally issued through Crass’ DIY label network.\r\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFormed in Gravesend in 1980, Anthrax delivered tight, politically driven punk with a sharp lyrical edge. Their 1982 EP Capitalism Is Cannibalism remains a standout, pairing raw energy with intelligent critique. As Penny Rimbaud puts it: “Anthrax chose to challenge the world’s profit-before-people conceit with fast, raw outcries of indignation … Babylon will fall. The future is ours if we only dare take it.”\r\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnthrax would later appear on compilations from Crass, Mortarhate and Fightback Records, and reform in 2010 to release new material – but this EP remains one of their defining moments. Loud, direct, and unflinching, it captures the band’s role in expanding the scope of anarcho-punk well beyond Crass’ immediate circle.\r\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Rimbaud notes, Crass’ intent was never personal fame or profit, but to share a revolutionary platform: “Ours wasn’t a show, it was a battle … rather than looking only to ourselves, we sought to share our gains.” This reissue celebrates that wider resistance – a community of artists confronting power through sound.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crass","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48437622440195,"sku":"501695810625","price":37.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/0106\/0867\/files\/a1984362257_1x1_700.avif?v=1781887790","url":"https:\/\/recordshopemissions.com\/products\/anthrax_uk_-_capitalism_is_cannibalism_12-inch_ep_2600619","provider":"Record Shop Emissions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
