about
Williamina (Minnie) Dean was the only woman hanged in New Zealand. She was sentenced to death in 1895 for the murder of 11-month-old Dorothy Edith Carter, whose body was buried in the garden of Dean’s home in Winton. The body of another baby, Eva Hornsby (1 month) and the skeleton of a small child were also found buried in the garden. Dean, an unregistered ‘baby farmer’ (who looked after unwanted children for pay), was caring for several other children at the time. Her trial highlighted the vulnerability of children born to unmarried mothers and the limited regulation of their care.

lyrics
In an era of discretion
Children taken, without question
Paper trail, no background checks
For the victim's, suspects
Minnie Dean
Malicious fiend
Minnie Dean
Is your conscience clean
Hiding bodies, in the garden
Where she was, waved a pardon
Argued deaths, accidental
Swinging moods, are temperamental
Minnie Dean
Morbid queen
Minnie Dean
Where are the 14?
Angelic child disregarded
Seen by all as train departed
Hatbox and baby became as one
Lost in abyss, motherless son
Minnie Dean
Malicious fiend
Minnie Dean
Is your conscience clean
Minnie Dean
Morbid queen
Minnie Dean
Where are the 14?
Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album. Odiumediae
This whole album is flawless. This is music for walking in the rain and letting your thoughts run. It's not just a collection of songs, but an actual album. yakbone
