Holy Christ, Vitriola, I'm drunk and I need music help

Bone Awl. Are they as awesome as everyone says they are? Some (the guy at Cult Punk) say yes, but my once-legendary Soulseek corner has dried up and I'm not really scoring anything on the illegal download front. Are they really a band that transcends the genre? Should I shell out?

There should be a new base exclusively for drunk people.

What, for the next 25 days?

We'll set up a drunk base named after something from the Bard's Tale on the telnettable BBS. Which will hopefully be extant before the end of this month.

There was a drunk posting base here a while back. I remember reading my posts the next day and totally regretting some of them.

I have sobered up, but the question remains pressing.

I have no friggin idea, and if they're not on Soulseek, I probably never will.

EDIT: I found a bunch on Soulseek. I will listen and throw out a worthless opinion after hearing 30 seconds of the first 3 songs later tonight!

It's brain-scraping noise that has no rhythm, groove, riffs, or anything that makes you want to hear more of this garbage.

Confidential to I.C. Jonsey, yes, that is exactly how I describe the music I own that I actually do like, but this is different. This sucks balls.

If anyone wants to hear some good mind-scabbing noise, I like Anaal Nathrakh. That's some good noisy shit.

Ok, that doesn't really make me want to pursue them any further. The write-ups I saw made them sound like some sort of groundbreaking band. Thanks! For some reason, my Slsk searches turned up nothing...

You should be able to search for music by the band "Beaver" tonight. All of you.

It might have been groundbreaking in UK in 1994. It is not now, or, at least, it isn't good to have that low of a production without music that is served by it.

Example, old-school Norwegian black metal was usually recorded shittily, was noisy, but they were, like, Norwegian black metal, and it kinda fit. They were doing this in 1989. Not much of an excuse to do it now, but, aside from low-end production, the music from Bone Awl was just shitty. Atonal noise is not groundbreaking, and hasn't been in over a decade.

The USA black metal bands are trying to recapture the old-school Norwegian sound, except even the USA bands stopped doing this years ago. Bone Awl just released the album I heard in 2007. USA is about 10 years behind what Europe is doing, and they're just copying, not writing anything new.

Even in black metal bands, there is and has always been a definite difference in sound between Norway, Sweden, UK, Poland, Finland, etc. They, except for maybe right at the beginning, did not exactly try and copy the sound, except for just being in the new black metal genre.

Norwegian black metal was very pagan, very atmospheric, very primitive. Then the French did their thing, and they were, unsurprisingly, angrier. Then Britain got into it, and did alot of experimentation with noise, just like they did with much of their extreme metal (the noisy bands I usually recommend are French or British). The Polish and Germans got even more racist, the Finns were very melodic and had wankering guitars, as they are wont, and the Oriental countries experimented with adding some of their own instruments in with the metal (Melechesh and the like).

The the USA bands full of wanna-be 17 year olds just thought that if they followed the same production standards, they were troo and evil. Except they couldn't understand or write black metal to save their lives. We're good at death metal (actually, so is Norway, but Swedish death is very mediocre, I don't care what anyone says.) We're fucking awesome at thrash, and even though the Swedish thrash scene is just as big, the thrash is different, and nobody was copying us, just doing thrash in their own way.

Holy shit, writing this post and seeing the underlined misspellings, did I ever know that it was spelled Britain? I have been spelling that wrong my entire life.

Speaking of mind-scabbing noise, check out "The Death of Mary Poppins" by Ladyscraper. It's a shame the title is so stupid because it's some of the most fucking brutal music I've ever heard. It kicks you in the nuts so hard they invert and begin producing eggs.

Vit:
congrats on the ring. You and RobB are one of the most solid couples at least from outward Intrawebb appearances. As much of an asshole as I can be on the big bad internet, allow me to be sappy for just a second. You add a lot to RobB's life as well as our lovely forum here. Seriously. I love all kinds of music and enjoy hearing your expert opinions on a genre i know 2 things about - Jack and Shit. I can only imagine how much you provide for RobB, and I don't just mean pussy and homecooked meals.

RobB is quite a catch too! Don't let outward appearances or the fact he's addicted to ancient arcade games sway you. He's a motherfucking PRIZE. If I was a girl, you'd have some competition. Aw man, how horribly gay did that sound? Blame it on being drunk!!! I just want to play some Mr. Do!

I digress. But congrats, I'm happy for you and wish that you will grow old together, you can change RobB's colostomy bag between arcade game sessions and he can push you back and forth really really fast in your wheelchair to loud death metal in a feeble attempt to "86 year old mosh"

Jack, that was amazingly sweet of you. Thanks a bunch, bud.

Vitriola · Post by **Vitriola** » Thu Mar 06, 2008 11:26 pm

Yeah, seriously, that was sweet. But do not overestimate yourself, Straw. I offer lots more than a flat keg of shitty imported beer and good ganja. Although the free car repairs for life would probably be tempting, ain't nobody around here driving $500 shitboxes. I drive a motherfucking shitass truck shitbox, which falls apart constantly but needs like no work, ever, and you couldn't look a WRX in the eye without cowering. Play nice with Marcie, you ain't gettin' in on my my action. Even if you'd make a really cute bottom bitch.

Cheers!
