G.G. ALLIN AND THE ANITISEEN - MURDER JUNKIES published September 2006, Zero Magazine

For someone who very well might have been the most un-enjoyable person to ever walk the face of the earth, a shit-terrorist, a violent asshole, a self-mutilator and a sexual assaulter, G.G. Allin made some enjoyable music for anyone whether they lived in the eye of the punk rock hurricane or not.

Murder Junkies will indeed make you sick with its reckless and morally inept lyrics but, goddamnit, will it rock you. If only because it speaks to the darkest crevices of the human soul, this album is still within the spectrum of acceptable. When you think about it, it's the ultimate hypocrisy. G.G. Allin wasn't a plain anarchist like The Sex Pistols. He was a monster without a real desire to gain a following since he had no real message. Anyone stupid enough to pay money to see him play a show was abused in a plethora of fashions. You would think a man so brutal wouldn't show mercy to a listening ear yet his music is melodic and, in terms of sound, law abiding. Allin rightfully should have been a noise artist like Merzbow. Now that's real abuse.
