Description
Fear of God is the first official studio album by the American industrial band Deitiphobia (Brent Stackhouse and Wally Shaw), released on Blonde Vinyl Records in 1991, distributed by Spectra Distribution. (The band had been known as Donderfliegen up until the time of this album release.) The album was recorded August 1991 by Steve Becker at Purelight Productions in Pflugerville, Texas; with the band producing. All songs written, programmed, and performed by Deitiphobia.
Trivia: Deitiphobia is considered to be one of the first Christian Industrial bands to be released in the Christian market. Their sound has a heavy techno/dance feel to it on the Blonde Vinyl albums, even though guitars were added on later releases. Deitiphobia is also the center of the Slava universe. Slava music was originally a mail order distributor and demo production house that quickly became a sub-label of Blonde Vinyl.
Deitiphobia uses Ensoniq Keyboards (EPS and VFX-SD), Alesis and Boss effects processors (Midiverb II and SE-50 respectively), a DrumKat MIDI Controller and Juice Goose power conditioning equipment.
Industrial rave is the new cutting edge of Christian music as far as Cross Rhythms is concerned and leading this exciting movement are this extraordinary duo from Austin, Texas. Previously known as Donder-fliegen, this duo produce the most hardcore techno/rave music you’ll hear in Christendom which despite its truly thunderous beats has plenty of intriguing sermon extracts and odd noises dextrously sampled and placed into the heady mix. Chris Cole has been plugging this import heavily on his radio show on Plymouth Sound while Duel Edge are shifting a steady flow as an import. While we wait for a new album (their recently released ‘Digital Priests’ is a remix of earlier Donderfliegen tracks) get your cheques off to Soho. And if you really want to be radical, organise a rave at your church and give this pride of place on your sound system. [Tony Cummings, Cross Rhythms, October 1992]
