Freebird Releases | A FIST FULL OF FREEBIRD

Introduction
Freebird existed as a tape label during most of the 1990s. In 1998, we made the transfer to CD with this mixed compilation album. It features the first appearances of some bands, that are household names in heavy groove rock by now: Dozer, Demon Cleaner, Solace, Mugwumps... we're very proud of that! After some repressings, we are now selling out the last copies of this release by mail order.
