Revenge

The Flying Luttenbachers have mutated constantly throughout their 30-year-plus history. Here, the band, which began as a scrappy avant-jazz unit and progressed toward No Wave–y skronk rock, took its first steps toward another key influence: extreme metal, evidenced in the hurtling blastbeats played by drummer/bandleader Weasel Walter on tracks such as “Storm of Shit” and “Murder Machine Muzak.” Sporting a then-new lineup of Walter, guitarist Chuck Falzone and bassist Bill Pisarri, the group juggled proggy pointillism with art-punk blurt and a liberal dose of sputtering chaos, modeling how the many sonic oddities bubbling up from the ‘90s Chicago underground might cross-pollinate in provocative ways.
