Behead the Prophet No Lord Shall Live

about

Behead The Prophet No Lord Shall Live was a hardcore punk band from the mid-'90s, who utilized the unbridled, apocalyptic intensity of the original "emo" sound, and in turn became highly influential in the queercore scene. Joshua Plague (Ploeg) and Jon Quittner were both members of Olympia, Washington's Mukilteo Fairies and when that band broke up around 1994, they guickly gathered together a group of musicians from Olympia, Bellingham and Seattle to form Behead The Prophet, No Lord Shall Live. BTPNLSL's name is taken from a Deicide song, and was given to them by an obvious death metal enthusiast in a supermarket, claiming to be the younger brother of Deicide's lead singer. Members were Joshua, vocals and lyrics, Jon on bass, Dave Harvey playing guitar, saxophone and feedback, Jordan Rain on drums and Michael Griffin on violin. Their sound was alternately described as crust punk, noise, queercore and by one critic, "spazzcore". The term "screamo", although not in common usage at the time the band was around, has mistakenly been used posthumously to describe them. They released their first self titled, 8 song 7" single on Outpunk Records in 1995. Soon after this, they played the "Dirty Bird" queercore music festival in San Francisco where they made quite an impression and garnered many new fans. They then released their only full length CD/album I Am That Great And Fiery Force, a split release on Outpunk and Olympia based K Records. They later released two more 7" records,
