Meh, I just wanted to make you listen to "Crux Gammata", which is just an instrumental set to a Hitler speech, but of course you didn't even get that. I also figured you'd do a little more legwork with the band bio, which would hopefully have caused a little more of your faith in humankind to shrivel up and die.

The band achieved infamy because its original members (now no longer in the band since 1999) murdered the 15-year-old Sandro Beyer in 1993. The canonical motive is that Beyer was privy to an illicit relationship of Schauseil's with a married woman, and had been spreading rumours about this and other activities of the band.[6] On 29 April in Sondershausen, the then 17-year old band members Möbus, Schauseil, and Kirchner enticed Beyer to a meeting, and strangled him there with an electrical cord.

The tape Thuringian Pagan Madness shows on its cover the grave of the murdered Sandro Beyer, and inside says: "The cover shows the grave of Sandro B. murdered by horde ABSURD on 29.04.93 AB".

The band members were released on parole in 1998, because they had been under eighteen when they had committed their crime. Shortly after release, Möbus violated the terms of his parole when at a concert he performed the Hitler salute, which is illegal in Germany. His parole was consequently revoked.

The last three albums were always the ones that I believed in anyway. Have fun with Burn the Priest!
P.S. That Naked City album was actually the first album on my list until I realized that Frownland had already used it.
