Songs like "Never Go Back To Egypt" (this one really begs to be covered by some contemporary Doom band), "Private Eye Surveillance", "Slewfoot" and "Nehushtan" is actually really great stuff, weirdness aside. Enjoy!

Apparently the product of a couple of eclectic musicians tied to some weird cult/church (Messianics I think..) who wanted to go "rockin' it out for the Lord". I'd describe the result as this wonderfully weird mix of Metal-era Plasmatics, Max and The Broadway Metal Choir, Lester Maddox and Killen (!)

Thanks !! It seems to be a weird one !!
Re: High time for some more Incredibly Strange Metal: RAPTURE!
Thanks! Messianics are a strange people so this shall be interesting.
Hopefully this will be better than the band Sanctuary Praise, I still have nightmares from their s/t. If anyone hates to sleep, I can share it.

Someone sells a bunch on musicstack for 8 bucks a pop, so I couldn't not buy one. Thanks for sharing!

I think my favorite is the title track. Can you hear the hoofbeat?

Thank you for sharing. Sounds interesting on the first listen, but sounds like it might stay interesting too. Need to listen more

Pretty weird stuff that's for sure. Female singer reminds me of Betsy Bitch at times, especially on track 6. Some of the tracks are really quite enjoyable!

Gave it a listen yesterday, I don't know what to make out of it, really. It sounds comical, dumb and serious at the same time. One style cannot describe the whole LP. Not terribly retarded to belong to the Worst of the Worst thread, more of an oddity I guess. Thanks for the upload in any case.
Good against Evil, Evil sure to win

Holy hell, I need to check this sub more often. Instant purchase for me.
Re: High time for some more Incredibly Strange Metal: RAPTURE!
I finally unpack it and listened to it - 3 times today and I can say it's quite decent stuff. Not incredibly strange in any case, or I am that warped already. They're not DWARR. Or THE RESIDENTS. Side A is more consistent than flipside and actually pretty good. On 'Private Eye Surveillance', they remind me of Kraftwerk/ Ultravox, the later may be referred to opener as well. B1 and B4 are close to awful - ballads I simply don't like. I hear some BÖC, too and overall, they have perhaps tried to do what THE BRAIN SURGEONS had been doing not so long ago. Verdict: Quite good US HM/HR. Will return to it soon.

They are christian preachers. This Lp was just a one day fly. They have released much more gospel albums.
