The Hail Mary: What's That Fire EP


The thing that grabbed me first when I found this album at a small record shop in Antwerp was the sticker on the front: "First Record Censured in Belgium". What caused it to be censured? Were all the songs promoting baby sacrifice? Listening to the album didn't really offer many clues - it's a solid four songs of excellent deathrock and dark post punk that's part Christian Death and part Bauhaus. So I ask all of you - do you know why the Hail Mary had the first record censured in Belgium? Is there even any credibility to this claim?

Don't believe the hype - it's a sequel - tHM had a zany idea for selfpromotion and ordered for silly stickers … at the cost of Belgium's non reputation ;-)
