Back in Print. Louder. Meaner. Finally.
Industrial noise terrorists Lard, the legendary collision of Jello Biafra and Ministry masterminds Al Jourgensen and Paul Barker, return with the long-awaited repress of their 1990 full-length masterpiece, The Last Temptation of Reid. A vicious fusion of industrial metal, punk rock, political outrage, and black humor, The Last Temptation of Reid remains as relevant, confrontational, and sonically devastating today as it was when it first detonated over three decades ago. From the opening assault of "Forkboy" (later featured on the Natural Born Killers soundtrack) to the twisted brilliance of "Pineapple Face," "Drug Raid at 4 AM," and their unhinged reinvention of "They're Coming to Take Me Away," (originally performed by Napoleon XIV), Lard created a collection of songs that still sounds unlike anything before or since. This new edition has been worth the wait. After production setbacks and multiple rounds of test pressings, Jello Biafra personally halted the project to completely remaster the album, ensuring it finally received the sonic treatment it deserved. The result is the best-sounding vinyl edition of The Last Temptation of Reid ever released. As a special bonus, this edition now includes bonus one sided 12" vinyl of "I Am Your Clock." Originally a UK exclusive 12", it's never been repressed until now. Originally released on Alternative Tentacles in 1990, The Last Temptation of Reid captured the paranoia, hypocrisy, corruption, and media madness of it's era with razor-sharp wit and a patented wall of noise and sonic wizardry. The unsettling truth is that it may hit even harder today.
