NON - In The Shadow Of The Sword (1992)




"Do you want total war?" YES YES YES


This one is simply a classic. The first ever NON release I owned was the mind crushing "Physical Evidence". I then rushed out the moment "Blood And Flame" came out and purchased it. Back then, with out the aid of the internet, it was perfectly clear that Boyd Rice was off his nut. This was crystallized in 1990 with the Death In June track "Bring In The Night" and the venomous "Music, Martinis, and Misanthropy". During this time of hyper-creativity Boyd teamed up with friends Douglas P and Rose Mcdowall, fellow Misanthrope (and touring Japan at that time) Tony Wakeford... and Boyd's current roommate, a young Michael Moynihan (who at the time was wrapping up his existence as Coup De Grace). Together they played recorded a live performance in Osaka, Japan, July 3rd 1989. This powerful experience has been preserved in two forms; "In The Shadow Of The Sword" - presented here, and "Live In Osaka" the DVD.Non Live In Osaka, 1989For this release tracks 1-8 represent the Osaka performance. 9-13 were recorded back in Colorado.
