THE 4TH MOVEMENT THE HACKNEYS
THE ARCHITECTS OF DEATH
AND THE 4TH MOVEMENT
Bobby (left), David (middle), and Dannis(right) are
the three brothers who started the legendary Rock
Band DEATH in Detroit during the early 70s and re-
directed their furious Rock-N-Roll sound to the
spiritual concept of The 4TH Movement in the 80s.
Applying the unapologetic sound of their hard Rock
to the message of the gospel, The Hackney brothers
crafted two straight-from-the heart LPs of songs
devoted to the message of their musical mission.
After the initial release of The 4Th Movement LP in
1980, the band along with the music went into
obscurity until in 2008, the earlier music of the
Hackney brothers 70s band DEATH from Detroit
came into the spotlight and was heralded as being
the proto-type of the entire Punk Rock sound. As a
bonus, DEATH fans discovered The 4Th Movement
along with the incredible DEATH story and found the
same hard-driving Rock-N-Roll conviction and fire
in the gospel songs of The 4Th Movement LP, as in
DEATH.
