Deviated Instinct

Deviated Instinct formed in Norwich in 1984 and are one of the pioneers of crust punk and extreme metal and also birthed the sub-genre, ‘stentch’ with their impressively-titled ‘Terminal Filth Stenchcore’ cassette in 1987. After two cassette releases they were snapped up by the brand-leading Peaceville label and unleashed their debut LP ‘Rock n Roll Conformity’ in 1988. 3 more records appeared, including the ‘Nailed’ EP in 1990, arguably their finest hour, before the band went their separate ways in 1991.
==Links to Peel==
Deviated Instinct attracted the attention of John Peel in 1988 via the Rock 'N' Roll Conformity album. He also requested a session from the band in Spring 1990, remarking on air that they were “the toast of Norwich, at least if Norwich knows what’s good for it.” After 1991, the band split and Peel never revisited their music.
