If somebody told you there was an album released almost 10 years ago that was a near flawless masterpiece and you've never heard of it, you probably wouldn't believe them. If the album was so great you would've heard about it by now, right? Normally, that would be true, but not in this case. For whatever reason, whether it was bad distribution by the record label or the dominating trends at the time, "Paegan Terrorism Tactics" never gained the popularity it should have. The album is on par with greats like "Badmotorfinger" by Soundgarden or "Blues for the Red Sun" by Kyuss or "Lucifuge" by Danzig, only more unique and inventive. Then again, with a cover by suicide doctor Jack Kevorkian and bizarre and twisted lyrics, maybe it's not such a surprise that this album remained deep underground. But, that's part of the beauty of it. The singer can get away with singing "hey-yeah" as long as the subject matter includes murder. Lines like "I scream, you scream, we all scream for morphine" or "go, go, go! Blood makes the grass grow" gives you an idea of how they use a pop facade to convey generally offensive themes. The irony is part of the magic. As for the music, it flows perfectly through many stylistic changes and doesn't lose one ounce of power in doing so because everything is placed perfectly. The dualistic vocals are amazing and match the lyrical themes perfectly. Ultra-heavy sludge power chords dominate the album, but they can speed things up before you even know what's going on. Of course, all this would mean nothing if it isn't held together by great riffs, but there are plenty of those also. Many albums have been called a "psychedelic bloodbath," but this album deserves that description more than any other album. "Paegan Terrorism Tactics" is more proof that you cannot be a legend in your own time.
