Rock ‘em sock ‘em Carolina rowdies Antiseen are already well into their third decade of boozing and pranks, and to celebrate 20 years worth of bloody foreheads and full-contact scumpunk, Carbon 14 Megazine-slash-Steel Cage Records have broken the fuckin’ bank in the most audacious display of shock n’ roll commemoration since Motorhead’s “No Remorse” comp hit the shelves wrapped in silver-embossed black leather. Actually, that’s exactly the idea here, as the mammoth “Destructo Maximus” is nearly 300 glossy pages of Confederate Filth all wrapped up in a black-as-night leatherette cover, embossed in chrome. I mean, holy motherfucker, right?

Pretty much everything you’ve ever wanted to know about Antiseen but were logically petrified to ask is included here in handy chronological order – ya get interviews with the 666 (or so) various rebel rockers that’ve had the honor and the fortitude to call ‘emselves one of Clayton’s Finest over the years, ya get tons of press, including some rare gems, like Byron Coley’s rundown of ‘Seen releases from Forced Exposure (circa 80-something), a sexy, blood-drenched two page spread from Metal Maniacs (circa ’96), and even two-and-a-half cents from yrs truly (circa cuppla years back, I think), AND ya get a bitchin’ and thorough discography (with sleeves!), plus lyrics, tons of pictures (which neatly chronicle exactly what 20 years worth of whiskey and BBQ meat’ll do to ya) and much carrying on from everyone involved. It’s exhaustive, it’s hilarious, it’s hair-raising, and it’s as bad ass you already assume it’s gonna be.

Oh yeah, and when yr done reading it, you can literally KILL somebody with it, if you want.
