THOU 'A Primer Of Holy Words'

THOU have a bit of a reputation for doing Nirvana covers, even releasing of a full album of them titled 'Blessings Of The Highest Order' during the height of quarantine. The infamously ravenous THOU fans were stuck in their rooms, drinking every drop and begging for more and just their luck the band decided to release a full-length compilation of their non-Nirvana covers they recorded and released from 2009-2022. All of the songs on 'A Primer Of Holy Words' appeared on limited pressings of various split EPs and benefit compilations. The range of bands being covered is wide: Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains from abandoned tribute projects; Born Against from a small press European compilation; Ginger Quail, an obscure New Orleans punk band from the late 90s; and so on. Regardless of their standing in the civilian world, all of these bands and songs have had a strong imprint on THOU - much more so than “sludge” or metal in general or “the swamp” of New Orleans. This collection includes artwork from former New Orleans - now Mexico Cityartist Rachel Speck from her Tropical Goth imprint.
