From the first Drag City single from The 4Th Movement, “The Build Up”, right through all of the songs on the LP, it is clear Death had plenty of existential/spiritual elements to them; a desire to know where they stood in the big picture was always key to the Hackneys’ musical ambitions. As The 4th Movement, they would direct all of those inquiries to Christ. The raw spirit of Death was still the driving force behind the music; the sound of The 4Th Movement captured the trio with rough-hewn intensity as they reached new heights of composition, creating an album-length set of songs that verged on Punk/Christian opera. It would be years before it would occur to any other Rock musical act to try such an outrageous thing. Recorded in an obscure recording studio call Starbuck Recording in their then new home base of Burlington Vermont and released by the group on their own TryAngle Records imprint, The 4Th Movement was destined for privat-press notoriety in the world that was coming. There is life after Death after all-and just like you’ve heard, it hinges on accepting God and his son as your lord and savior. The 4Th Movement to be back for good-and against evil-here in the new century. Get yours today!
