Music
The music of Church of Realities establishes the band's trademark style, which primarily fuses elements of punk rock and hip hop.[1][2] It also includes elements of funk, jazz and metal.[2]
Release
The album was independently produced by the band and distributed without a supporting label in 1995.[1]
Legacy
Following the EP's release, the band changed its name, adding "PE", which stood for "Planet Earth",[3][4] and signed with Jive Records, who released their self-titled LP in 1997.[5] Several tracks from this EP were recorded for the LP.[6]
This EP strongly influenced the music of Limp Bizkit; Fred Durst listened to Hed PE's music throughout the production of Limp Bizkit's debut album, Three Dollar Bill, Yall$, which was released one month before Hed PE's self-titled album.[7][8]
