Based in Kansas City, Missouri Executive Order 44 takes its name from a dark chapter of its state's history. In 1838, amidst tensions between Missouri residents and a burgeoning new Mormon population, Governor Lilburn Boggs issued an order stating, "The Mormons must be treated as enemies, and must be exterminated or driven from the state if necessary for the public peace." Clad in the bike helmets and white shirts that commonly signify LDS evangelists, the four members of MEO44 – vocalist Jarom Johnson, guitarist Elos Olsen, bassist Esau Fullmer, and drummer Malachi Hatch – use that specific historical moment as their rallying cry as they blast out blistering hardcore anthems in opposition to all forms of persecution. While a majority of bands in the scene take a stance against organized religion, the band flips the script and claims allegiance with the Saints of the 1830s, holding them up as victims of the state's tyranny.
