Spoken Word/Review The Prophet Obblonge - Hostile Witness
When The Prophet Obblonge was a kid, he ate tubes of communion wafers. That's what they come in for, like the ubiquitous Ritz. That's all there was to eat in the base church refrigerator. Communion wafers and inky purple grape juice. That means thirteen percent of his body weight is currently the pure body of Christ. His father studied to be a priest, possibly with the Jesuits, though this is unconfirmed for the moment.
The Prophet Obblonge's "Hostile Witness" is more than simply an album; it's a potent declaration, a forceful plea for justice, and a profoundly intimate voyage through love, grief, and resiliency. As soon as the first track bursts into passionate performances, listeners are transported to a realm of insightful narrative and passionate advocacy.
"Hostile Witness" is centered around The Prophet Obblonge's steadfast dedication to justice and the truth. He fearlessly addresses his fiancé's uncertain future through his songs; she was last spotted in Michigan with a narcissistic, white nationalist abuser. Obblonge transforms his suffering, rage, and willpower into a powerful fusion of real-life drama, horror fiction, and incisive societal criticism on every song.
The sheer passion and unvarnished honesty of "Hostile Witness" are what really make it stand out.
