I assume this is what it would sound like if you took grindcore and slowed it way down. There is certainly much more of a post-punk feel than there is a crusty one, but you can definitely see what Amebix was working towards, especially on songs like "Sanctuary" and "Sunshine Ward". The production is more akin to their second EP, Winter, than anything else, which of course means that Rob Miller runs the show. That's not a bad thing, of course, as he's typically excellent both vocally and on the bass. This would mark the end of Amebix's stint at Spiderleg Records, and although they would release their best work on other labels, their work on Spiderleg is some important punk, not least of which is No Sanctuary.
