METAL ROUGE

Three for Malachi Ritscher CD

Released on Root Strata, 2008.

On November 3, 2006 52 year old Chicago based free-jazz fan, musician, archivist and photographer Malachi Ritscher sat down beside a rush hour freeway, doused himself in gasoline, and set himself on fire to protest the war in Iraq. His mission statement is here, and his self-penned obituary is here. Current civilian body count in Iraq (between 88,263 – 96,350 at time of writing) is here. Current ‘coalition’ body count (4180 at time of writing) is here. Easy to forget there’s a war going on isn’t it? Three tracks in anger, love and sorrow. “Without fear I go now to God - your future is what you will choose today.” – Malachi
