DEATH INTO LIFE: WITNESS THE 4TH MOVEMENT
The Hackney brothers were no different from anybody else-in the heat
and tumult of the 1970s, they’d seen that new world coming. They’d
raised their voices righteously, transforming with outrage and hunger
their all-in-the-family power-trio RockFire Funk Express into the proto-
punk legends called DEATH. These were the sounds the world knows
today as “For The Whole World To See”-but at the time, the brothers
managed only to self-release two songs on a basically undistributed 7”
record, which caused no label anywhere to express any interest in a
record deal for the band called Death. Stung by the indifference, they
reconsidered their position. The three corners of their personal cosmic
triangle (or TryAngle) hadn’t been enough to realize their Death
ambitions. It was time for The 4th Movement
