Death were a black power trio from Detroit who released a single in 1975 and pretty much disappeared after that. Inspired by the raw Rock 'N' Roll of the Stooges and MC5, the three brothers moved away from their Funk/R&B roots into a new realm.... for the Whole World to See features the two songs from the single ('Keep on Knocking' and 'Politicians in My Eyes') and five other tracks. Drag City. 2009.
Not to be confused with the seminal death metal outfit, the maniacs behind ...For The Whole World to See (Death) were a trio of African-American musicians from Detroit who recorded a handful of rare singles in the early '70s whose ferocious clamor presaged the emergence of hardcore punk. Though the Midwest spawned a few similarly deranged groups in the early '70s like Rocket From The Tombs and Simply Saucer, Death were unique for their undeniable musical virtuosity and uncompromisingly radical political stance.
