J. D. Vance Is a Fake Hillbilly

The Ultimate Prophecy album was recorded in 1970 on the Mercury label and received a spotlight pick in Billboard, Cashbox, and Record World magazines. It was a huge selling album in markets like St. Louis, MO and Columbus, OH, staying at the #1 position for nine straight weeks on the WCOL- AM Columbus chart. It was released in 22 countries and had great success in Germany and several other European countries. The title track “The Ultimate Prophecy” is comprised of 5 songs that tell a philosophy of our life, death, and rebirth back into this universe. In his book, titled “Stairway to Hell”, music critic Chuck Eddy listed “The Ultimate Prophecy” at number 374 of the top 500 heavy albums of all time.

Anchored by its titular sermon, “God’s Newspaper” is a showcase of Detroit’s Greater Mt. Carmel Baptist Church. Recorded in the church’s sanctuary, the album includes a sermon by then-pastor Reverend J.D. Montgomery, as well as selections by the Greater Mt. Carmel Choir. Dropping the listener right into the excitement of Sunday service, the album opens with an energetic rendition of the traditional praise and worship song “Jesus,” arranged by Gospel Truth label head and Detroit native David Clark.

Sunset At The End Of The Industrial Age is the third album by The USA Is A Monster, and their third for the Load label. The USA Is A Monster were a maniacal duo who enjoyed making boisterous noise and eating beans. They were from the town of Brooklyn in the American state of New York.

Sometimes, the best place to begin is at the end. If you really want to dig deep into Illusory Walls, the fourth album by The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die, it definitely helps to do that. That's because epic closer "Fewer Afraid"-all 19 minutes, 44 seconds of it-doesn't just revisit the themes and ideas on the ten songs that precede it, but also offers a self-aware summary of the Connecticut band's entire history.

The third studio long-player from the Connecticut-based indie/emo rock troupe, "Always Foreign" finds the World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die nixing the mostly positive vibes of their two prior outings in favor of a deep dive into miseries both internal and external.
