Correct Dan.
"Sooo... when did you decide to become nazis?"
But seriously, a Q or 2 about weather that cover ever got them in trouble w/ distributors, overtly pc underground scenes etc would be interesting I guess.

Can you be a little more original Dan?

Totally agree with that.
I always wondered how such a Heavy act came to be on SST Records, Saint Vitus aside, there wasn't much else of a metallic nature on the label.
I assume they played with Punk bands mainly as St. V did initially?
At the time there wasn't much love lost or musical crossover between the Punk/Hardcore scene and the Metallers, as they straddled both camps i'm sure they have some interesting stories to tell about that.

Strange indeed. They were even featured on a SST Punk sampler (don't remember the name) with bands such as HUSKER DU, BLACK FLAG and some others.

From what I've been told this week end by a person who attended their shows back in '82/ '83 they often played with ST VITUS but also with SLAYER, BITCH...
