Limited Edition White Czech Import.

After 1993's How To Clean Everything and 1996's Less Talk, More Rock, Today's Empires, Tomorrow's Ashes was Propagandhi's third and penultimate album on FAT. It marked a transition period for the band. Not only was it their first record after the departure of bassist/vocalist John K. Sampson - who was replaced by Todd Kowalski - but it also saw the start in the shift towards the sound that has now come to define them.
The result was an album that, despite singer Chris Hannah's reservations, truly set the benchmark back then, and does so even more in it's new sonic form. Just listen to what opener "Mate Ka Moris Ukun Rasik An" or the caustic title track sound like now, not to mention the still-eye-opening blast of "With Friends Like These Who the F*** Needs COINTELPRO?" - the lyrical content of which remains as shocking today as it was back then. Intelligent and visceral in equal measure, it's a record - thanks to songs like "Albright Monument, Baghdad", "March of the Crabs" and "Bullshit Politicians" - offers up one of the most vicious indictments of American (and, to be fair, Western) imperialism ever committed to tape.
