Persecution
Choose Death
Reviewed by Paul Q-Pek
These seven young men from Indiana are trying so desperately to be funny and satirical that it's a shame the tape isn't listenable. There is no music here, just comedy...kind of.
There is one line of one song that made me laugh. The song is "Kick The Devil In The Head" and the line is: "make him listen to Evie's Christmas album." Believe it or not, that's one of the mildest lyrics on the tape. Here's some more examples: "Drown the devil in the urinal; Tell God you love Him or we'll blow up your family; Don't be a camel, you'll get smoked in the end; I love my dog, and he loves me, he uses my leg when he has to pee;" and finally, "I love my boots, my boots love me, they smell like crap, 'cause they smell like me."
If you love this type of lyrical approach, and you are fond of unlistenable anti-music recorded on a four-track, then this tape is for you. However, if you are part of the rest of the 99.9% of the world, I don't think you'll groove to Persecution.
