Take a singer who sounds very close to a slightly off key Joe Strummer, add a honky tonk piano, blend in a bunch of ambient noise and some very basic melodies. Then, as the last ingredient, make this an anti war themed menagerie where repeated pacifist lyrics are the norm and you have TheBrutalRealityOfModernBrutality.
Thollem Sickofwar is the creator of this piece. The press release states that he wrote it in three hours, and without teaching the songs to his new bandmates, recorded this album. It shows! If you would like to hear a tinkling piano and Thollem singing "Imagine a world without nuclear bombs", repeatedly for nineteen minutes, then I have the album for you! Improv jazz can be some of the best music on earth, this is not!
Track listing:
1. It's not been said here just right,
2. destruction and horror in the way.
3. This is my attempt to speak more eloquently…
4. it's written between the lines of dead bodies!
5. This is a plea to stop the bloodshed this is
6. Ultimately devastating for everybody.
7. Warriors have often fought for noble reasons and
8. honor is often found on the battlefield but
9. we can't do this to ourselves anymore.
10. On this path we will soon find nothing
11. except one lat blast dance of terror.
