Bill Fay - Time Of The Last Persecution - VINYL LP
About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Folk
- Description: Bill Fay's second album, Time of the Last Persecution (1971), is a haunting and contemplative work blending folk, rock, and spiritual introspection With it's poetic lyrics and evocative melodies, the album explores themes of faith, doubt, and human vulnerability. His 180gm vinyl re-issue replicates the original UK pressing. As Fay's journalistic champion Rob Young wrote in 2005, InchIf Bill Fay was his songs of innocence, Time Of The Last Persecution collected songs of experience.Inch Shorn of the rich orchestration of his debut, Time Of The Last Persecution, originally released in 1971 and produced by Fay's guitarist Ray Russell, is deep, pensive and philosophical. Working with a small band, songs like 'Til The Christ Comes Back and Is In The Eye are powerful statements, with Russell's guitar lyrically complementing Fay's sometime oblique words. One of the most prescient songs is Pictures Of Adolf Again, which looks aghast at the resurgence of the right-wing 25 years after the Second World War. Fay questions what the choice people will have to make InchChrist or Hitler?... Christ or all the Caesars to come?Inch The title track was influenced by the Kent State University massacre; Come A Day suggests that at the day of reckoning, no nation will prevail. Of Time Of The Last Persecution, Ray Russell said in 2005, InchI think it was apocalyptic. I think we were all waiting for the sky to open a bit. But, funnily enough, you know how these feelings kind of bring you through things, and it's interesting that people now find it very relevant to the situation again.Inch Sadly, issues like this never seem to go out of fashion. With it's subject matter, the album's occasional discordance, and Fay's dishevelled look on the cover led to speculation that Fay was about to become another hippie casualty. Far from it. He got a day job and lived quietly, yet never stopped writing.

Around the Fur the follow-up to Deftones' passionate, aggressive Adrenaline, sees the California quartet expanding on the sheer rage of their earlier work, adding new, more sinister shades to their already extreme sound. The opening InchMy Own Summer (Shove It),Inch serves as an introduction to the album's sonic theme sinewy guitars and eerie whispers alternate with fast, violent crunch. Sepultura's Max Cavallero contributes guitar and vocals to InchHeadup,Inch while InchMXInch finds singer Chino trading off vocal lines with Annalynn Cunningham, (wife of Deftones' drummer Abe) in an acerbic take on the rock star mentality. Vocal acrobat Moreno attacks a variety of styles his breathy, psychotic recitations sound downright industrial, while the album's calmer, more brooding moments show his gift for haunting melody. Behind him, guitarist Stephen Carpenter's heavy wall of sound is astoundingly muscular, yet inspiringly agile. When Deftones' hellish fury hits full tilt, as it always does on this album, Moreno's voice erupts into screams which are best described as otherworldly, transforming this intense musical firestorm into a hurtling juggernaut of aggression. This LP version comes pressed on 180 gram vinyl. Album Tracks 1. My Own Summer (Shove It) 2. Lhabia 3. Mascara 4. Around the Fur 5. Rickets 6. Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away) 7. Lotion 8.
