THIN THE HERD demo

Good morning! Happy crust to you!
I love bands that have male/female vocals! Here's a Chicago gem from the city's north-side. I believe I picked this up in 2003, so it's coming up on a 10 year anniversary of it's birth. I saw Thin The Herd play in a tiny basement at the Albion House. People's heads were hitting the ceiling. It was a really good show. Jen has such a powerful & brutal voice. Check out her new band, Black September; they're more metal.
On this recording Nick plays drums, Pat plays bass, Myke plays guitar, Chris plays guitar (& sings), and Jen plays the vocals. Oh!
The lyrics were included, so without further ado, here is Thin The Herd's earliest work. (I think it's much better than their full-length album.)

1) Frail Hands of a Broken Body (Broken Hands of a Frail Body) http://www.mediafire.com/?t84s4bkr7u8tt3b
"shadows of a dying world slaving away until the end. victims of our man made cycle. fueling their machine. the process of dying. rest your head on destruction. the process of dying. letting the darkness take over my eyes. we are failing inside. we are falling behind. we are buying into demand. enslavement on command."
2) Bitter Ashes http://www.mediafire.com/?twva9x1wopkpkc1
"vast are the skies that shadow the sun hanging over the heads of thieves. monuments of business will burn down. raping the rich of their greed. smoke is rising and clouding the skies. one last day of corruption. civilization will fall to the ground. the fires will brighten the skies. plowing the fields that starve other nations all in the name of progression. avoiding the problems at hand. all in the name of progression. death of the modern age."
3) Plague Victim http://www.mediafire.com/?4zqwlavq2qwgl3d
"we live our lives in the plague where no one listens and no one dreams. the clouded minds of the middles class believing what they've been told. controlling the minds of the weak. narrow the view for the blind. paving the path for the sheep. death to ones who march to the drums. thinning the herd of the sheep. led by the ones who are led by greed. herding the masses to believe in the lies. the cracks of the whip. deafen their ears. follow the masses to believe in the lies. the cracks of the whip. deafen their ears. follow the masters to slaughter. consume the lies."
4) Kings of a Dying Nation http://www.mediafire.com/?n820hn9mbzdlofj
"dying with blood on their hands. butchers of chessboard pawns. whores of war can. we call this life. kings of a dying nation. dining on the flesh of the peasants of war. can we call this life?"
5) Indulgence http://www.mediafire.com/?u1p50b1x7rarweh
"are we to live life with lies? are we to live life with fear? are we to live life with deception? the blindness of our eyes. falling into line. the conditioning of mankind. falling into line. the lies are now believed. falling into line. the conditioning of mankind. falling into line. bowing our heads to destruction."
