                      FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

        Head Chunk Records is proud to announce a new release from HOLY COW
entitled SOUL BOX. This is the fifth release from New Englands
merchants of the macabre and their first CD release. For those
unfamiliar with HOLY COW they have been described as "Immensely powerful
and overtly ominous, better at this game than Godflesh "(1) and "Partaking
equally of the dark intensity of Bauhaus and the bleak, forceful pound
of the Swans".(2)

        The bands first release, "Call It What You Will': was released in the
Fall of 1986 and met with numerous reviews from alternative publications
such as Reflex and Rockpool.  By 1988, with the release of "Apocolypse
Cow", HOLY COW had become "harder and meaner, grabbing onto a pretty
original (yet definitely not pretty) and unified sound.  The results:
Frighteningly good songs"(2).  Touring from Chicago to Providence,
Albany to Richmond and all points in between allowed the band to establish
itself regionally and fine tune their live perfomances to the point that
their shows have been called "the most disturbing and distinctive shows ever
witnessed "(3).

          After two 7" releases while alternately touring, the band
decided it was time to release a full length title. SOUL BOX is the self
produced title that includes material that spans much of the bands
decade-plus of recording.  Incorporating recordings from the now out-of-print
LPs with newly recorded material, SOUL BOX offers something for the
unaquainted as well as the loyal fans who have written looking for new
material.

        Shipping date to retailers is December 2, 1994 and is available
exclusively through COM-FOUR Music Distributors, 7 Dunham Place, Brooklyn,
NY 11211 USA (718-599-2205).
