The Power Of Lard (White Vinyl)
Limited White Vinyl!
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 Biafra’s unmistakable vocals and razor-sharp satire with Ministry’s 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 ‘Hellfudge’ crashes through like a deranged mix of Flipper and Jerry Lee Lewis, taking aim at televangelist hypocrisy. The 30-minute closer ‘Time to Melt’ stretches into droning, dirge-like territory, channelling the experimental edge of John Cale and early death rock. Loud, abrasive, and fiercely political, this is Biafra’s first post-Dead Kennedys release—and 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.
