The Tribe (album)
''The Tribe'' is the debut album by Caspar Brötzmann Massaker. It was released in 1987 through Zensor. In 2019, the album was reissued by Southern Lord. Reception Grayson Haver Currin of '' Pitchfork'' called the album "an unapologetic offering of new possibilities in rock—punk in spirit if not in sound, free in feeling if not in execution," and wrote: "Brötzmann and his rhythm section wield the spare parts of rock'n'roll like weapons of collective liberation, lashing back against the very torment they've created." A reviewer for ''Freq'' commented: "there is a single-minded intensity to the album makes it stand it out — plus the fact that what else was happening in Germany at the time?

Caspar Brötzmann
Caspar Brötzmann (born 13 December 1962) is a German guitarist, vocalist and bandleader. Brötzmann typically performs with the power trio lineup of Caspar Brötzmann Massaker (his early band), with guitar, bass guitar and drums. He uses rock and roll and heavy metal music as a basis for his music, which often features lengthy songs that start slow and quiet but gradually build to a ferocious climax. Brötzmann's technique has been praised: "...his attack on the instrument — explosive, obstreperous, large scale, textural, timbral — asserts the material facts of string-pickup-amplifier more bluntly than anyone else currently involved in rock". Brötzmann's father, Peter Brötzmann, is a free jazz saxophone player. In 1990 they recorded the album '' Last Home'' as a duo.
