Amen Gun Of A Preacher Man [CD] By: Boris |
An AMEN show is like standing in the middle of a warzone. Every person you see around you (including the guys you went to the show with) become hostile enemies and the band fuels the vibe by launching bombs in the form of their songs. Frontman, creative force and general big brain, Casey Chaos delivers exactly what his name implies...and more. In my opinion, there is not a band in existance that can match the onstage destruction and chaos of a live AMEN concert. So, when a band of that notoriety releases a live album, one question comes to mind: How in the hell could it ever be as good as being there?
Gun Of A Preacher Man is a 14 song, non-stop kick in the gut that is every bit as good as being there! Recorded in 2003 in Manchester, England, this slab of rage gives the listener a glimpse of the brutality of an AMEN show without collecting any physical damage. The band rips through all of the familiar greats such as "Coma America", "Piss Virus", "C K Killer", "Under The Robe" and "Refuse Amen." Performance, as always, is spot on and Casey takes the oppurtunity on several occasions to enrage the audience with the reality of political issues and I'm guessing, some peeves (some George Bush slamming here!). You won't be as bruised and beaten with this disc, but you will be every bit as emotionally drained. I've always said that there is one thing more damaging than a pissed off person and that's a highly intelligent pissed off person....and Casey Chaos is that man. Casey Chaos equals damage! Get this disc and tear down your own humans. |
