The Birthday Party and Lydia Lunch - Drunk on The Pope's Blood/The Ecstacy is The Agony Split

This was a split live album done by The Birthday Party and Lydia Lunch back in 1982. The Birthday Party were an Australian Post-punk band formed by Nick Cave in the late 70's that disbanded in 1983. Lydia Lunch is a New York based Avant-Garde musician who first achieved notice in New York's late 70's No Wave scene. The album is live, and noisy, which makes it all the better lol. The sound is pretty Deathrockish to me (The Birthdat Party were an enormous influence on a lot of Horror Punk and Deathrock band's to appear after them), even the Lydia Lunch side feels somewhat Horror-inspired. So enjoy.
