Since it's probably the best rock record that's going to come out this year: Death (detroit proto punk not metal band) - "...For The Whole World To See" Thread

playin some concerts! - http://www.catbirdseat.org/archives/1425.php

sweet, but until they book NYC, im out of luck

that is so cool! good luck Detroit dudes.

woah that's exciting

exciting, though i'm kinda skeptical about the awesomeness possibility considering their age, the time that passed, the fact that they didny play much music all that time and the music that they did played is mediocre at best.
still, who knows, it might be great after all

mediocre at best.
GTFO

I was gonna say

Why are you excited if you don't think they're very good?

or is this the 'sarcasm' as used by today's teens

he's talking about the music they've been involved with since the demise of Death i think.

ah yes I see. Not that I've heard Lambsbread (the noise band or the reggae band)

true.i like Death. talking bout 4th movement and the reggae band that followed
xpost

"today's teens"
lol

Apols for telling you to GTFO :)

it must be weird for these guys to play this kind of music again! like up until a little while ago they probably considered it juvenilia -- but who knows, maybe they can get their energy up and rock the hell out of it.

like The Stooges did?

haha, yes

now thats a sarcasm :)

so what's 4th movement like

rockin w/jesus

more jesus than rockind id say,sadly

I'm an agnostic lapsed jew, will it offend my sensibilities?

im a jew as well, and i didnt wanna become christian after listening to the record

haha

they've failed :(

Hold Steady have more chance in my case..

Al Green for me

Spanish Inquisition

"today's teens"
lol

I was channeling Kelly from The Onion but I misread you as well and hear ya loud and clear in fact - I'd like to think that ppl would take these factors on board but who knows

documentary comin up

http://www.wheredowegofromheredoc.com/

Dennis Hackney has a weird moustache

Death on WGN

what happened to the guitar sound?

did i mention that i found an original copy of their one and only 45 last weekend? sounds great. definitely worth the dollar i paid for it.

Nice!

that live song on tv is rubbish. sounds like clean generic 70s rock. "politicians in my eyes" from 1975 though is absolutely phantastic. tight drumming, an expressive voice and a great riff which is shred to pieces by the distorted guitars at the end. wow!

Congrats Scott! This band rules.

so mos def is involved in that doc somehow?

definitely hear a lot of Arthur Lee in the vocal delivery/lyrics here -- going to go ahead and assume Death were/are fans ...

yeah, esp after listening to this after hearing the recent Love Lost thing that sundazed put out

The only problem with this album is it's just not long enough. Discovered this recently after the ILX album countdown and, seriously, what an amazing record. Punk-rock all the way through but I can also hear little hints of the Moody Blues, Television, Love, Earth Wind & Fire, Sabbath, Parliament and loads of others. Probably the best thign I've heard so far this year.

The only other problem is that, because they're an African-American punk band, I feel like I should feel guilty about immediately being able to hear Arthur Lee, Phil Lynott, Jimi Hendrix etc... in their music. I wonder if I'd make those connections if I'd thought they were white, or if these influences really are so obvious.

BASEMENT OF WHAT WAS ONCE KNOWN AS GROOVESVILLE STUDIOS - DETROIT, MI - May 7th, 2010
"After searching for almost eight hours, I removed a box with a Master in it and vaguely saw some big red letters on the box below it. I shinned the light on this box to clearly see the writing in big red letters DEATH. I screamed with excitement DEATH!!, DEATH!!, DEATH!! Everyone in the building starting to scream and wildly cheer and applause. Upon seeing those tapes, it brought it all back, David had written those big red letters on the tape. Engineer Jim Vitti had jokingly drew a skull and crossbones on the box after the name to which David did not like telling him “We are not that kind of Death”. I was full of emotion, I cried. We were all elated, Jacque was elated, I called up Dannis who was in Vermont and he began to joyfully celebrate. I thought about David. If David were here with us all that has happened to Death up to this point would pale in comparison to what we found today. The tapes were right where Brian said they were sitting there awaiting us for 34 years." - Bobby Hackney

Spiritual, Mental, Physical is the new Death CD/LP and it will be released 01/25/11.

wow

so ... what is this? different songs than what was on the Drag City record? if so, awesome. was just listening to for the whole world to see.

these guys fucking rocked my shit when i saw them live btw

better than every other punk band i saw that weekend

really wish there was more to be unearthed somewhere.
