I like 'em but I'd put them a steep step below X and Gun Club, mostly because their basic sound tries to do too many things as the same time. Chris D's voice sounds like he's trying to scream and croon at the same time. What's great about that FE live track is how simple and blunt it is.

They do sound a lot like Gun Club, but that's always a good thing.
I think LTM (?) might be reissuing some Flesh Eaters stuff soon.

I'm pretty much on board for just about every Chris D related band/album, maybe the only thing I don't completely love is the Stone by Stone record and that might just be cuz I haven't spent enough time with it.
But so, I think the Divine Horsemen stuff is all pretty great, I spun "Middle of the Night" yesterday day and that record just kills.

So the Minute to Pray line up is touring the east and if they are coming to yr neck of the woods I give it my highest possible recommendation. I saw them in St Paul on Saturday and it seriously could have been 1981 not 2019.
I'm still kind of speechless over how great it was.
I yelled out "Lake of Burning Fire" at one point and got the band to bust up laughing and I can die happy now.
