You will need three pairs of ears to figure out what is going on with the heavy fuck-rock that is Racebannon. There are so many layers of insanity that they could write another chapter in the Bible about this album of hardcore musical crucifixion. The album has a mind of its own and is suitable for cartoons designed for heavy mind-altering drug users. Think early Metallica booted around by vintage punks and a severe fixation on the Jesus Lizard and Captain Beefheart. Jello Biafra, PCP and US Maple all make appearances in spirit. Call up the local circus and book these guys, or the local mental hospital.
