Secular Deformity
[title unknown]
Reviewed by Jeff Lott
Lyrically this band from Chicago is miles ahead of a lot of other bands. "You made me be all that I hate/ You used me and told me a little too late/ I gave up all and gave it to you/ You were the trash that I couldn't see through" (from "Synthetic Jesus"). "The King is standing at the door/ When it opens you hit the floor/ In humility as His son/ or in fear of His coming wrath" (from "Sermon on the Box"). They really have it together here. Their musical style is another story. It is of the thrash/hardcore/punk variety and, while they are talented, there's no new ground made here. To order, send $6 to: 6334 S. Long, Chicago IL 60638.
