Release:

Spikefarm Records / Soulfood
13.02.2009 (GER)

Info:

Reverend Bizarre is as dead as your hopes of some day reaching “the good life”. But to upset record collectors and die hard fanatics, the evil men and women of their record company have desecrated the Reverend’s grave and dug up these rare and much sought after sonic treasures, making them now available to everyone.

The band had a habit of releasing some of their best works outside the confines of corporate mainstream culture, in underground semi-secrecy, which is no news to anyone who followed their career a bit more closely. Even if Reverend Bizarre’s major releases already ended up reckless and daring, these little escapades gave the band a possibility to delve deeper into lunacy, and to focus in one particular idea or theme at a time.

On this compilation you will be able to hear Reverend Bizarre like you have never heard them before on a silver disc: at times rougher, at times more adventurous, but always following only their own path, without giving a flying fuck about the expectations or needs of any audience. This is how they are remembered by those who saw them perform live, too; confusing, sometimes even annoying, but never plain or ordinary.

These little treasures were excavated as follows:
