CITICORPSE

This page is dedicated to the memory of U.S. Army Special Forces soldier, Daniel A. Romero and the many U.S. and ally soldiers like him who have paid the ultimate price for freedom in Afghanistan and other places around the world, Andrew and Bob's late grandfather who gave thirty-seven years of honorable service to his nation, as a U.S. Army soldier, including: tours in Korea and Vietnam; a proud purple heart recipient and to all the brave men and women who are now or have ever served the cause of freedom on behalf of free people. 

The explanation below was added to the EC website to give fans an insight into EC's motivation for recording the album 'Citicorpse.' 

EC FIRST TO PREDICT COLLAPSE AND BULLY ISSUE

Even the band would be stunned to discover just how accurate their predictions were. 

What should be remembered is that; 'Citicorpse' was recorded prior to any sign of the near economic collapse, the wall street debacle, the series of media stories headlining large-scale U.S. corporate corruption and the warning that bullying is a root cause of suicide and murder in our schools (after Columbine some in the Colorado media denied the existence of bullying) many laughed off EC's effort to capture their attention before it was too late.  It's never too late but sadly more children are dead.  A few adults listening more and speaking less may have saved young lives. 

WARNINGS DISMISSED AND IGNORED, NO ONE'S LAUGHING NOW

Citicorpse, raw and offensive by some standards, was a courageous warning that revealed everything before exposing it was socially acceptable (EC was ridiculed ) and before most were willing to listen.

The irony was that shortly after this explanation was written Citicorp fka Citibank nka Citi was on the brink of failing but for its rescue by American taxpayers Citi may no longer exist.  Was it rescued because America couldn't live without it as was proclaimed by the media or was it rescued because most of its stockholders are members or former members of the U.S. congress or its army of retired and active lobbyists and their affiliates? 

To let Citi fail would have meant permitting its stockholders to lose a lot of money.   

Now we all know that absolutely could not be permitted to happen, afterall congress should never be made to suffer the hardships of grass roots Americans who fight and die for freedom. 

The band ELCTRIKCHAIR and the amazingly accurate album 'Citicorpse' will never be credited for their incredible predictions but how perfect is that; when has any grass roots American ever been recognized for making a moral contribution? 

Our honorable U.S. military, past and present, are the deserving exception, for that we are eternally grateful.   

The term "Citicorpse" was coined by ELCTRIKCHAIR, a perfidy [disgrace] of morally corrupt people, criminal corporate types,  the bitter disappointment of straying clergy and the repulsion of tarnished military brass who betray fellow U.S. citizens.

Individuals whose  proclamations are divine but whose deeds evidence an unwavering allegiance to  material gods. 

'Citicorpse' reminds us that the earthly battle between light and darkness rages on in perpetuity [without end].  "The last earthly sound they shall ever hear..." is the undeniable truth that; light shall prevail.
