About

Released in 2018, a rarities collection from the metal band. Featuring six previously unreleased Pre-Human Jerky (1999) demos with frontman Travis Ryan on guitar (while also handling vocal duties), as well as the long sought-after To Serve Man (2002) bonus track “Rotting Children For Remote Viewing” – in addition to other rarities (including the six songs from the 2005 split EP with Caninus!). This compilation spans the band’s 22-year career. Travis Ryan comments: “Medium Rarities is a project we started about 10 years ago, and we’re thrilled that it’s finally happening! Back in 2008, I began compiling unreleased tracks, importing bonus tracks and 7” releases for a rarities collection – we even had artwork done by the legendary Wes Benscoter. This is a nice, concise collection of unreleased and hard-to-find tracks... A lot of thought and work went into this release and we’re excited to finally present it to you!”.
