Notes

350 copies total, 18* copies in steel/concrete/chainbox (incl. Video and T-shirt), a small number had a printed eloxal metal plate on the front of the box instead of the photocopy, 7 inserts (one for each song and listing titles/credits/etc.) (*supposed to be an edition of 30 but due to time and expense, the edition ended after 18 copies. Information gathered near to the time of the release, although "Remember" lists the edition as being 20 copies)

Rated 3/5
Review by Scrap_Iron Feb 07, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)
This boxset is far more than a simple noise record, is a very controversial political manifesto. Genocide Organ are usually labelled as an extreme rightwing band because of their imagery and song titles. But, have a closer look at this and try for a moment to think in the most unbiased way possible. "Save Our Slaves - The Rise Of American Civilization" deals with racism, slavery, fascist golpes, imperialism, all the darkest and most horrible sides of the American history. Knowing that Genocide Organ are violently anti-American in their views, this record can hardly be regarded as a celebration of such dark sides. Therefore, if they damn the USA for slavery and fascist golpes, should we assume they are a rightwing band? As usual, when industrial music is concerned, there are no clear answers and the matter gets controversial.

Is this still music? Or already a lesson in history?
The brilliant artwork shows a sophisticated view on the "rise of american civilisation."
The record's highlight is the 10 minutes noise nightmare "Patria y Libertad", named after a fascist organisation active during the revolution in Chile 1973.
Only minus point: "John Birch Society" sounds a bit creepy and poor.
