I'm not exactly sure what all was going down with the band at this point, but this show took place before the criminal prosecution of the Frankenchrist album and long before they broke up. I think person conflicts within the band pushed the band to see each other less and less, until their eventual destruction. They would even have one more album come out after this, and I suppose it's possible that they did another show as a benefit for the No More Censorship Defense Fund, but this was the last show as far as we know. The sound quality is bad, but the set list is pretty good, and it's another little piece of history. Listen to the spoken word album High Priest of the Harmful Matter and you'll get an idea of everything that was going on in their lives at this point. Get it HERE.
