"Incesticide" is a compilation album by the American rock band Nirvana, released on December 14, 1992. The album features a collection of early recordings, B-sides, demos, outtakes, and radio broadcast performances. Nirvana's breakup with their previous label, Sub Pop, and subsequent signing with DGC Records facilitated the release of this compilation, which served to satiate fan demand for more Nirvana material following the success of their breakthrough album, "Nevermind."
"Incesticide" includes songs recorded at various sessions from 1988 to 1991. Notable tracks include "Sliver," "Dive," and a cover of The Vaselines' song "Molly's Lips." The album's eclectic content highlights the band's raw grunge sound and showcases their influences, ranging from punk to alternative rock.
The release of "Incesticide" also helped establish Nirvana's reputation beyond the mainstream hits, providing deeper insight into their artistic range and early work. Despite being a compilation, the album received positive reviews and showcased the depth of Nirvana's creative output, further cementing their legacy in the rock and grunge music landscape.
