Favorite New Model Army Songs #4 - "The Hunt"

Tweet

Rather than going with a theme, I am focusing on one of my favorite band's, New Model Army. We are at #4 in the countdown: "The Hunt." From their 1986 album, The Ghost of Cain (with the coolest album cover ever,) "The Hunt" is not one of New Model Army's protest songs, at which they were very good. Instead, the song is personal, about a group of vigilante's going after a heroin dealer (New Model Army has a very staunch anti-heroin stance.) "The Hunt" was not released as a single, but the song was famously covered by Brazilian metal band Sepultura, which sparked a new interest in the New Model Army original. By the way, the leather jacket on the cover was painted by vocalist/guitarist Justin Sullivan's life partner Joolz, who does the artwork for the band's album covers. Enjoy!
