Anyone wearing a stormtrooper uniform to Jedi Mind Tricks concert is in for a big shock: The indie hip-hop outfit's name couldn't be any more of a misnomer. Since 1996, Vinnie Paz has led his group time and time again through vicious raps about suicide, third-world countries, and general injustices with his strep-throat delivery. While album titles like A History Of Violence and Legacy Of Blood paint a striking mental picture, JMT's songs frequently create a more stirring mood, like "Razorblade Salvation," off 2006's Servants In Heaven, Kings In Hell, which tells the tale of a grisly suicide offset with church organs, peaceful woodwinds, and My Brightest Diamond's Shara Worden singing backup.
