Pastor Chris Congregation

West Virginia Snake Handler Revival: They Shall Take Up Serpents   black vinyl LP

(Sublime Frequencies)



Captured by author/producer Ian Brennan, this tumultuous service of Virginia's last standing snake-handling church was as ear-shattering as all get out, and possessed of fervency inaccessible without spiritual association. Such was the hoarse-throated, preachful thunderation that rafters surely gave up dust. Determined acolytes set Teles ablaze, whirled with scaly wickedness, and fell to their knees, beseeching Heaven for precious deliverance. 

Recommended: "Jesus Has to be #1," "ADHD Meds and Starbucks," "Rock'n'Roll was Stolen from God by Satan," "Taking Up Serpents (and It's Alright)," "Don't Worry, It's Just a Snakebite (What Has Happened to This Generation?)," "Just a Few More Miles (I've Got No Reason to Quit)"
