"U.S.A." (Under Satan's Authority) is the highly controversial debut album by rap group, Flatlinerz. The album was released on 1994 for Def Jam Recordings and was produced by Russell Simmons, Rockwilder and Tempest Da Undertaker. The album found some success, making it to #65 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and #24 on the Top Heatseekers, but also found controversy for its Satanic lyrics. Also the three music videos the group shot for the album, "Live Evil", "Satanic Verses" and "Rivaz of Red" were banned from MTV due to things like frontman Redrum rapping whilst hanging from a noose and Gravedigger rapping from a crucifixion. The album only sold five-hundred copies and the group, along with the Headless Horsemen and Omen (who were featured on the album), was dropped from Def Jam. Three singles were released, but only "Live Evil" made it to the charts, making it to #35 on the Hot Rap Singles.
