Unsane (album)
1991 studio album by Unsane From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Unsane is the debut album by Unsane, released in 1991 through Matador Records.[2] It is the only studio album by the group to feature founding member Charlie Ondras (with the exception of 1989's Improvised Munitions, which didn't get a proper release until 2021).[3] Ondras died of a heroin overdose during the 1992 New Music Seminar in New York during the tour supporting Unsane.[4] The album's cover art, depicting a decapitated corpse on subway tracks, was given to the band from a friend who worked on the investigation for the case.[5]

Patrick Kennedy from AllMusic called it a brilliant and daring debut that "assaults the senses like the Swans or Foetus before them, but tempers that art-scum priggishness with clear roots in punk and classic rock."[1]
