We just found a couple copies of this out-of-print disc from midwestern blackthrash weirdos Blood Cult stowed away in a corner of the warehouse...once these copies are gone, it's gone for good!
Here's another musical entity sprung from the demented lobe of the Reverend JR Preston, who we've already been hailing as a crazed outsider metal genius for his one-man black metal/acid rock project Tjolgtjar. Blood Cult has the Reverend playing guitar and screeching, but this time he's in a full band, backed by a bassist and drummer, playing self described "Redneck Black Metal" that comes howling across the cornfields of Illinois. Tjolgtjar fans will no doubt dig this low-fi, fuzzed out psychedelic skuzz just as much as his cosmically weird solo outfit, but Blood Cult has it's own sound - a primitive, rocking blast of raw metal, a combination of thrashy Norwegian black metal and skuzzy, whiskey-soaked hard rock and primitive New Wave Of British Heavy Metal moves, like a gnarly mix of Nashville Pussy and Beherit, scumbag bar rock and Mayhem, spinning warped visions of demonic scarecrows engaging in child sacrifice and goat worship on the backroads of the American midwest. There's some awesome freaked out, chaotic guitar shredding, and the drumming is a manically stumbling thrash assault. "The Moweaqua Coal Mine Disaster" starts off as a blazing black metal attack but then turns into a depressive piano solo towards the end, and the band's theme song "Redneck Black Metal" is a goofy, killer satanic hoedown with polka drumming and simplistic riffing. The band enlisted a guy named Zornow to provide the awesome cartoon style artwork for the album. Highly recommended to fans of weirdo black metal and that crazed Illinoisian Thunder / Dipsomaniac / Tjolgtjar axis of midwestern freakery!
