Encyclopedia of American Traitors

58 New Jersey's Encyclopedia of American Traitors shared members with bands like Spirit Assembly, Yaphet Kotto, and Fields Lay Fallow. Their sound was chaotic, yet more metal influenced than many emotional hardcore bands. Their tougher-than-most sound was complimented by their tougher-than-most looks. When I saw them at Dick Street, I remember ogling the guitar players sleeve of tattoos and thinking they were the toughest looking, and sounding band I had ever seen that I wasn't afraid of. If you can't guess from the band name, the lyrics are extremely political

This is their Discography CD from 2002 which includes both 6”s, the split 6” with Kwisatz Haderach, the split 6” with Orchid, as well as comp tracks and a bonus Black Sabbath cover at the end.

Great band! I'm glad I got to see them once, even though it was a short set.

HEY!
EoAT were from Lancaster/Millersville, PA! Definitely not New Jersey. I saw them about 10 times. First time they were called SIX FLAGS. Then they changed the name to AMERICAN TRAITORS UNION. By the second show I did with them, they were EoAT.

I'm glad this was posted! Great band. Definitely not tough save Yuletide who is a professional wrestler now. I think.

Wow, this is rad. I saw them long ago at a bowling alley in Tempe, Arizona. I bought the shirt, and it still fits:) Jeremy
