This album by "black pimp" Boyd Rice came out in 1995 and is inspired by Ragnar Redbeard's book "Might is Right" focused on topic, which can be today called social darwinism. The lyrics used on Might! come from this book and note, that the music is not so harsh and noisy as NON's earlier releases, but it's still worth listening.
Great record.
From the sleeve-note: Might. Brute force-power in its most elemental form. This was the basis of a book called Might is Right, penned nearly a century ago by a man who called himself Ragnar Redbeard. The lyrics on this recording were taken exclusively from his tome, a work considered by many to be the definitive exposition of Darwinian law as it applies to man, his world and his nature. It is above all a celebration of force, at once both a frenzied paean to its glory and a cold appraisal of its inevitability.

I love this album, although I must say the source of lyrics is about as ridiculous as it gets. "Might Is Right" is one of those pseudoscientific illogical pieces of gibberish that would be funny if one didn't realize what their philosophical descendants were: Mein Kampf and accompanying balderdash. Of course, the Bible is another of those, but nobody seems to mind...:)
I'm reading Might is Right right now, and I can say that I quite like the idea of "surviving of the fittest".
I'm not very much into the racism, which is present in the book, but who today knows, if the book was written as a parody or as a real manual for the strong.
I'm not taking too seriously...
But I also like the album.
Broken link :c
