GG Allin & The Murder Junkies

GG Allin (with the backing band The Murder Junkies) was an American punk performer known for extreme, transgressive live shows and confrontational recordings. He recorded prolifically with various lineups and worked with the Murder Junkies in his final years.

GG Allin died in 1993. Brutality and Bloodshed for All was recorded shortly before his death and released in 1993. The Murder Junkies served as his backing band on that album; members mentioned in the review include Merle Allin, William Gilmore Weber III and Donald "Dino Sex" Saches.

The supplied review treats Brutality and Bloodshed for All as one of GG Allin's stronger releases thanks to improved production and a heavier backing by the Murder Junkies. Vocals are described as guttural and extreme; the album is uneven, with standout tracks and moments of banality. Overall verdict: a middling-to-positive appraisal (3/5).

For:Fans of punk and hardcore, collectors of underground punk history, listeners interested in transgressive/controversial artists.
