Twelve Point Buck is the fourth album by Killdozer, released in 1989 through Touch and Go Records.[2] [3]
Twelve Point Buck was reissued in 2013.[4]
The Washington Post wrote that the "thump-and-grind is art music" and that "there's an integrity to its unrelentingly harsh rumble."[5] The Wisconsin State Journal deemed the album "industrial dirge music at its best."[6]
After hearing the album, Sub Pop's Jonathan Poneman suggested that Nirvana record demos with Killdozer producer Butch Vig; after signing with DGC Records, Kurt Cobain asked Vig to produce Nevermind.[7] Cobain told Vig that he wanted Nevermind to sound "as heavy" as Twelve Point Buck.[8]
