I bought WE HAVE THE FACTS AND WE'RE VOTING YES by Death Cab for Cutie.

Did I mention that I saw them in concert!!?

I bought:

Skinless - Sacrifice To Survival (Death metal from my hometown of Saratoga)

Vehemence - God Was Created (brialliant Arizona death metal concept album about an insane girl who is in love with Jesus and an insane guy who pretends to be him to rape and kill her)

God Dethroned - Into The Lungs Of Hell (great Dutch black metal release from band who has never released a bad album)

Tidfall - Nucleus (title track eats your brain, more Norwegian black metal, not in the old-skool style)

Hypocrisy - The Arrival (In keeping with the alien theme that seems to permeate Peter Tatgren projects, Swedish death)

Vital Remains - Dawn of The Apocalypse (much better than their famous newer release Dechristianize; track 2 is one of the best death metal songs ever)

Soulreaper - Life Erazer (newest Swedish death release, vaguely related to proto-black/symphonic extreme metal band Dissection, whose vocalist is in jail for killing a homosexual) (not that that's cool or anything) (the music is, though)

Impaled Nazarene - All That You Fear (Finnish black metal that has thrash elements and sounds American, if American black metal didn't suck so bad)

Bleeding Through - Portrait Of A Goddess (hardcore/thrash band appearing in the Ozzfest line-up this year, what Shadow's Fall should have sounded like. Think harder US version of in Flames)

No, you didn't! Do tell us all about it. I have a question!

Q. Are they a bunch of dorks?

Recent purchases:

P.W. Long "Remembered" -- Whiskey-soaked maudlin misery

Jawbreaker "Etc." -- Singles/rarities comp from early-'90s favorite

Delegate "s/t" -- Demo CD from old friend's band

That's it, I think.

I finally saw the 1GiantLeap documentary and thus purchased the CD (though it orignally came out a few years ago)

I don't think you're quite giving everyone else's music a chance, Vitriola.

American recording artists are such pussies. Scott Weiland just gets thrown in jail for heroin, or whatever round of goofballs he's been found with.

I don't think you can use the term "homosexual" *after* you've killed the victim, though. I mean, hey... the deceased isn't engaging in homosexual acts any more.

Ah, but is a redwood anything but a redwood after being cut down?

A dead fag is still a fag.

John Zorn - Naked City
A damn great album, makes me want to go out and buy up all the Zorn I can.

G.I. Joe Killaz - G.I. Joe Killaz
Maybe it's just that I am a huge dork, but I get a giant kick out of this album. Things like them saying "You're gonna catch a laser beam in your head" just really make me so happy.

Vitriola · Post by **Vitriola** » Wed Mar 31, 2004 11:18 am

Worm, explain what Zorn is? And I assume the Killaz is hip-hop, or a gimmick band?

Remember that image I showed you of three poofs dressed up to be Destro, Cobra Commander and the Baroness? Yeah, this is them.

Thank you, Captain Obfuscator. Now, would someone tell me what kind of music they are, since I don't buy albums based on wardrobes? (That does happen to be why I see live shows, though.)

Worm · Post by **Worm** » Wed Mar 31, 2004 12:01 pm

Well, Zorn is a Jazz musician that really doesn't stay inside the genre. If you have heard Mr. Bungle's self title album he produced that.

G.I. Joe Killaz is a hip hop band, in my opinion and very good one. They do have the gimmick, but instead of relying on it they use it well, like a deadly tool of entertainment. Oh, and the Baroness has a great voice. You can grab a few songs from their site under the discography section.

I thought American Death Metal was for pussies and poseurs? You're making the baby Satan cry, Vitriola.

I don't think you know that.

I mean, what if you kill him and then immediately ass-fuck the still-warm corpse?

Hence my point.

American BLACK metal is for nadlickers and wannabes; the genre originated in Norway, and the early albums are so coild, bleak, visual and empty that you can tell what these people could see through their kitchen windows every day. The US tried to copy that feel, and did a piss-poor job of it.

Death metal originated in the States, and we still do it best. Swedish death (old) has a large following, but I think the genre's pretty boring, Swedish death (new) is good and revolves around Hypocrisy and the now defunkt Abyss studios, melodic death (melodeath) has nothing to do with death and sounds more like watered-down black, is also from Sweden and is known as the Gothenburg sound, Polish death has recently become trendy and a bunch of great bands have gotten some well-deserved recognition, Brazilian death is pretty decent, Canadian death is mostly 2 bands and is known as Northern Hyperblast, grindcore is an even more extreme form of death which I hate, as is splattercore, gore, and gore/grind, black metal bands in the early 90s used to call themselves death metal until someone set them straight with their own genre, and Florida is probably still the big US death epicenter, although San Diego and Maryland are competing for the title. Then there's tens of thousands of little garage bands all over the world doing the same thing. Capisce?.

So.... Anyone bought any new music recently?
