Hero Killer King - When Wanting Becomes Needing

I found this cd at Goodwill the other day and picked it up because I remembered the band name and they thanked Harkonen on the lyric sheet. Now, I know I saw HKK at least once, there's a flier on the facebook page from a show at Ground Zero, but The Powers of Darkness Shall Rain Blood Upon This City For 500 Years is the only band I have any actual memory of seeing that night - and this is probably due having gotten stoned out my mind with some friends while celebrating a birthday before the show. Anyways, I know nothing about these guys but if you like the harder, screamier stuff that gets shared around here, you should check this one out

Hero Killer King - When Wanting Becomes Needing

Jough Dawn Baker's Unfinished LP

This is big, folks. Arthur Rambo already did a fine job of covering Jough Dawn Baker's official recorded output with this post, but to recap, they were a Bellingham-based hardcore band that split up in the mid 90s and though I barely missed the window on seeing them live, everyone I've heard tell of their shows speaks of them in reverential tones. What we have here, as I understand it, is what was going to be their debut LP. They'd put out a 7", a split 12", and appeared on a few compilations, but this was the record everyone was waiting for. The record was close to done when they split up except for vocals, and it never saw the light of day. There are vocals on a few songs, but this is mostly an instrumental affair. So, a little bittersweet on that front, but hey, it's 28 minutes of Jough Dawn Baker that as far as I know only a handful of people have heard before. This is why we do this. Pungent Sound is for the people.
