Death-For The Whole World To See

Photobucket

Before Bad Brains, there were another group of African American kids noted for there tough style of music, whose scene would otherwise be considered a white, suburban thing. Way ahead of their time, were Detroit's DEATH. This is obviously not the Tampa metal band. These guys were playing what would soon be called Punk, before practically any other band at the time. I've heard of these guys, but there was not very much known about them until recently, when this album was reissued. The history of these guys is brilliant, and instead of me butchering the story, read it here in this NY Times article. I feel bad putting this record up since it just got reissued a few months ago, but it needs to be heard.
