Album Of The Day: No Sir, Nihilism Is Not Practical by Showbread

Album Art of Showbread's No Sir, Nihilism Is Not Practical album - On both sides of the bottom, a pair of old-timey men are looking at a large machine. The machine has some sort of pressure gauge and smoke billowing out of it on the left side, and a large man with antlers coming out of the top of the right. The large man's eyes have dashed red lines pointing at the duo of men in the bottom left. The background seems to be waves of sand dunes or something.

If any music in my collection is the most appropriate for Halloween, it's probably this band, Showbread. Musically, they're a weird mix of hardcore/punk/emo with guitars, screaming, but also some songs with acoustic guitar and vocals, and some with lots of electronic elements too. Lyrically, there's songs about relationships, philosophy and Christianity, and lots of references to horror films, I think (I haven't seen too many horror films myself, but I know enough about film to know there are references here). This was Showbread's first major release and it was released this month 20 years ago, I believe. So if you're looking for something avant-garde and loud that I enjoy, give this a listen.
