The Power Of Lard
Over 44 minutes of music by Jello Biafra and Ministry! Came out originally in 1989. Now available on black and limited white vinyl editions!
Lard was the unholy alliance of Jello Biafra and members of Ministry, launched with the scorched-earth 1989 EP Power of Lard. Combining Biafraās unmistakable vocals and razor-sharp satire with Ministryās pummelling industrial-metal rhythm section, this debut bridges thrash, punk, and death rock in gloriously unfiltered fashion.
The title track is a full-force industrial punk blast, while āHellfudgeā crashes through like a deranged mix of Flipper and Jerry Lee Lewis, taking aim at televangelist hypocrisy. The 30-minute closer āTime to Meltā stretches into droning, dirge-like territory, channelling the experimental edge of John Cale and early death rock. Loud, abrasive, and fiercely political, this is Biafraās first post-Dead Kennedys releaseāand it still hits like a sucker punch.
Long out of print and now reissued, Power of Lard is essential listening for fans of Dead Kennedys, Ministry, Pailhead, Flipper, and boundary-pushing punk.
