The Angel Rang Virtue

RESTOCK. This 7" single is the third release by the GREAT UNRAVELING, which was formed nine months after the demise of Universal Order of Armageddon by founding members bassist Anthony Scott Malat and guitarist/now vocalist Tonie Joy. While in some ways carrying on aspects of U.O.A.'s futuristic, "beyond" hardcore sound, a distinctive "power trio-esque" sound developed out of the GREAT UNRAVELING, delving into odd, yet driving time signatures, spearheaded by the far advanced (beyond U.O.A) bass playing of Anthony Malat (now in LOVE LIFE), somewhere between YES's Chris Squire and the CLASH's Paul Simonon. The songs on this 7" were two of the first that the band wrote and performed, but these versions were recorded by Steve Albini during the session that produced their debut full length LP/CD, released by Kill Rock Stars. Comparisons to other bands have varied, from Kill Rock Stars labelmates UNWOUND to the STOOGES, to other heavy power trios ranging from CREAM to HUSKER DU. This 7" single (the latest pressing on colored vinyl) comes in a special gatefold cover, with 51 anagrams, variations of the bands name, printed on the cover.
