The owner of G.U.D. (Godly Underground Death) Records, Jerry Nelson, did several self-duplicated tape comps before releasing the first only official release Masticator "Merciless Decaptitation" EP on Cassette. It was originally going to be on vinyl, but it was too expensive, so it became a cassette only release, hence the reformatted artwork on the insert. He also did a death metal fanzine called Lockport Underground (2 issues), a punk/hc/grind/powerviolence zine called I Hate You! (5 issues) later changed to I Hate You and I Hope You Fucking Die! (another 'zine started using I Hate You!), and finally Fucked For Life (1 issue).
