KNOX CLASSICS Nothing Sacred

Nothing is off-limits. KNOX CLASSICS: Nothing Sacred takes some of the most revered melodies in the classical canon and drags them through the mud of grunge not orchestral-metal bombast, but the raw, jagged sound of a rock band that refuses to play it safe. From "3 A.M.," a feral first-person account of a house cat's midnight rampage built on Grieg's "In the Hall of the Mountain King," to a pair of companion tracks that strip war down to its rawest human cost one from the soldier sent to the front, one from the commander who gives the order this album treats no melody, and no subject, as untouchable. Reverence isn't the point. Nothing sacred is.
