Metallic KO
A 7 track old-school punk album (41m 44s) — released September 5th 2025 on Death Is Not The End
Crass, conceited, vulgar and unpleasant. Also quite unique. Death Is Not The End drops a cassette reissue of Iggy and The Stooges chaotic Metallic KO LP, recorded live at Detroit's Michigan Palace between 1973 & 1974 - documenting the band's death throes during what would be their last performances for 30+ years.
"Metallic K.O. is the only rock album I know where you can actually hear hurled beer bottles breaking against guitar strings"
— Lester Bangs
"Something we should get straight from the start: measured by any normal criteria 'Metallic KO' is one hell of a long way from being a good rock'n'roll record, let alone a great one"
— Giovanni Dadomo, Sounds 1976
