Poison Idea - We Must Burn [CD]

In the discography of POISON IDEA, 1993’s We Must Burn is recognized as the capper on the most prolific period for Portland, Oregon’s Kings Of Punk, as well as the final album from their initial thirteen-year run. Well-seasoned and confident in their sonic skin, this album showed the musical progression the band had made while still holding on to the buzzsaw guitars of Tom “Pig Champion” Roberts, the defiant bellow of Jerry A. Lang, and the other elements that positioned them as one of the forerunning units for American Hardcore punk. Ostensibly a brutal hard rock record, We Must Burn was Poison Idea's return to the killing floor, and, therefore, it's a way to continue proving a point. If the point is that Poison Idea had more than enough power, fury, brawn, and ability to reinstate their place at the banquet hall, then point proven and point taken.
