power of the spoken word language of a dying breed lp

i've had this record for years, and put off doing a review of it for one simple reason. how the fuck do i describe this? this has got to be the weirdest sounding record i've ever heard. forget br00talizer's od grind with battery amps and horrible microphones, forget coven's awesome genrehopping, forget braille party's going from hardcore punk to melodic pop on the same record, this one is just weird. it's hardcore, that's for sure, but to describe it as simply hc would be misleeding. minor threat this is not. a better description would be pagan drugged out metallic hardcore with a doce of weirdness (because that combination isn't weird enough, it needs extra weirdness) the vocals sound really grough. i'd say they sound a bit metallic but that'd not really describing them well. if an nwobhm singer lost all melody and did hardcore that'd be closer. not that that's a bad thing, the vocals do a lot for the band. musicly we're all over the fucking place. from fast rippers like decide or die (probably one of the fastest songs recorded at that time, 1984, sounds like powerviolence almost) to slow weird numbers with great lyrics such as language of a dying breed. the most normal song on this would be the band's theme song, which is a great hc song. other songs are just weird, go all over the place and are fantastic as well. this is not a record you listen too all the time. this record is something you save for those random moments where you feel like playing something truly weird. ps this band came from nebrasca, which makes me wonder what the hell is going on in the midwest? coven, potsw, manilla road, negative approach, i thought the midwest was boring. oh and in case you're wondering, i have no fucking clue where to get this. good bad music (rip) had the album but its links went dead, and sadly this has never been reissued. pps, 2 of the members died. i believ the singer died, and another member became a lawier and o.ded, they have a park named after him in nebrasca. the drummer i believ became a drum teacher, and another member wants nothing to do with the band or so someone said. if any of the members have different info feel free to correct my stupidity. anyway get this and weird out! oh and this predates pagan metal by some time, pagan hardcore!
