Newcastle's Hellbastard formed in 1984 with the intent to fuse the political aggression of Crass with the musical ferocity of Slayer, and their 1986 Ripper Crust demo is widely credited with giving crust punk its name as a genre. By 1988 the band's material had grown more technically demanding, bridging D-beat punk velocity with metal structure, and the 1989 Earache Records debut Natural Order pushed further into thrash metal territory. After an official hiatus beginning in 1991, the band reformed in 2008 and has remained active, retaining their status as a foundational influence on the crust punk and crossover thrash movements.
