doug moody productions 1985

owning the title track to this compilation, patrick mata's lets die is an amazingly good song punk song screaming about how we are actively destroying ourselves every day. with cover art by mad marc rude (also misfits album illustrator) it's at first hard to believe that this album hadn't become extremely collectable. once hearing the rest of the songs however, one learns why this record faded into obscurity. the only other tracks of mention here is silver chalice (glam punk with pre-45 grave members) and slaughterhouse 5 which seems to ring a bell. still, it's a pretty addition to a vinyl collection.
