RIGHTEOUS VIDEOS FROM BLOODSHOT DAWN, PIG DESTROYER

I’M WAY TOO EXCITED ABOUT THIS HAARP MACHINE VIDEO/ALBUM

It seems like more and more of these djenty proggy bands are reaching into spacey, almost psychadelic territory. With bands like The Haarp Machine and even Washington’s own Stealing Axion, it’s like modern progressive metal went on a payote trip where … Read the rest of this entry →

SHOCKINGLY, NERGAL’S BOOK IS ABOUT RELIGION BEING BAD

Adam “Nergal” Darski of Behemoth is a helluva public figure in Poland. A recent Luikemia survivor, he publicly uses his triumph over cancer as a clever anology for ridding people of the degenerative effects of organzied religion. He’s been publicly attacked by the church, tried … Read the rest of this entry →

AN UNWITTINGLY BRILLIANT FEDEX COMMERCIAL

Outsiders often wrestle with the paradox of extreme music. It’s serious but it’s not. Is it irony? Only if you’ve got a deathwish; most of us would rather waterboard ourselves than reduce our hobbies to the quasi-parody world of ironic consumption. … Read the rest of this entry →

It’s So Cold In Lansing: Prisoncore Band Ruins Prog Nerds Fun

Tuesday Time Machine: WASP – The Headless Children (1989)

The career of WASP is a painfully duplicitous one but, if one may be totally honest, it’s hard not to enjoy the silly, perverted early 80s WASP even when appreciating the later albums on the more lofty basis of being legitimate pieces of work. As … Read the rest of this entry →
