About the Artist
Noisy, un-economical, polluting and mass consuming, mankind and tractor-trailers seem to share more than a few things in common. And as simply as the wheels of commerce keep turning, many of those in positions of power are always hungry to keep progressing; spreading; growing. In many ways it would also seem that in many respects, humanity and cancer share a lot in common.

"The general population of the United States doesn’t care about much outside of their car and fast food," says Aaron Jenkins, Ed Gein’s bassist/primary lyricist and one of the trios’ three vocalists. The band has been pounding the pavement hard since their formation in 2001, touring furiously and earning themselves a cult-like following across the US and Canada.

Playing a hybrid style of thrash, metal, sludge, grind and punk, Ed Gein use their self-described ‘angry-noise punk’ style as a means to deliver their politically and socially charged message. "It’s all a matter of being aware and thinking for yourself," says Jenkins. "A ‘Judas-goat’ is an older animal at a slaughter-house trained to lead the other animals to slaughter. In exchange, the animal is taken care of almost like a family pet until they are no longer of use. A large portion of the world’s population falls into one of the unfortunate categories of either being a betrayer or one of the millions of mindless, resource-eating followers."

5.0 out of 5 stars MASS CONSUMPTION = MASS POLUTION, August 1, 2006

By	D. Miller "Hardcore Enthusiast" (Grand Rapids, MI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Ed Gein are by far one of my favorite Hardcore bands, and this new album catapults their maniacal thrash style of hardcore into the history of the genre (like it or not). What amazes me the most is how it's as equally flooring and rabid as their previous releases, but sounds nothing like them. Judas Goats takes Grind to a raving new level. Aside from the deliciously angry lyrics, Crushing guitar riffs and rickety window smashing bass ravage over toppling drums stifle over scarring screams and pound out schizophrenic patterns and manical breakdowns which pound out to be some of the most original, psychotic hardcore music in awhile. Although not for everyone, I've seen it change over minds a few times now. Highlights include 'Amen' (Best Breakdown on album), 'Killing A Co-Worker' & 'The Wool Is Pulled'.

Truly some killer stuff, I highly reccomend it

5.0 out of 5 stars This album is amazing, January 13, 2006

By	Jim Fear (Hell) - See all my reviews

The title speaks for its self. This is a amazing album. I picked it up at my local music store and I didn't hesitate to buy it, or bother to look at any other cd's. This is probably my favorite cd for now.
