...For the Whole World to See

Not to be confused with the seminal death metal outfit, the maniacs behind FOR THE WHOLE WORLD TO SEE 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.
