Brutality and Bloodshed for All is the final studio album by GG Allin. Released in 1993, all of the songs on this album were written while Allin was in Jackson State Prison. Backing band was the Murder Junkies.

[edit] Miscellanea

This album sounds different from most earlier Allin material, with a much 'cleaner' recording quality. The Murder Junkies give a markedly more professional sound to the music, something quite uncommon since Allin's stint with The Jabbers. William Gilmore Webber's guitar playing imparts a heavier and more aggressive sound to the music, making this album sound more like heavy metal than punk rock. Allin's vocal performance style meanwhile had evolved into a deep, animalistic roar which one critic likened to "a deranged Muppet". This was most likely due to Allin's years of substance abuse. The compositions are more brutal-sounding than most of his previous work, which was usually more viscerally offensive but also included a considerable humorous component. Here Allin's lyrics target the system, religion, and society with somewhat inarticulate stabs at revolutionary politics.

On the track, "Shoot, Knife, Strangle, Beat, and Crucify", back up vocals are partially sung by Johnny Puke, the tennant of the apartment where Allin would later die from a heroin overdose in 1993, shortly before this album was released.

While many people think that the band Anal Cunt named themselves after the third track on this album, they actually formed in 1988, five years before this album was released. GG originally wanted Anal Cunt to be his back-up band but due to traveling issues it never happened.
