lysergabolic mnexobile sylophetamol burnt toast cd

what a long title. well this is bishop's first record he wrote. a little different from what i'm used too, this is not punk, metal, or even rock. this is a dance record. yes, i like a dance record. interesting melody and some interesting song ideas. the songs range from 5 second blasts to 8 minute long epocs. i don't know anything about dance records but i'm guessing this is a good example of one. if someone was gonna ask me what to start with in the dance genre first of all i'd wonder why of all people would you ask me. then i'd give them this 49 track album. i beleive you can get this for free on last.fm. oh and the name. bishop swares it was on a pill bottle (one wonders what kind of pills he was taking) though i've googled it and can't find anything. could be that i just misspelled it it's so damn long. i don't know that much more about the writing and making of this album. bishop maybe will have more info. i do know that this is a fun listen.

pantera the great southern trendkill lp

i'm just gonna warn you from thestart. if you're a pantera fanboy/fangirl do not read this. ah....pantera. the glam band who wanted to do something moe than play ride my rocket and latest lover. shame, really. this album starts off with a scream by seth putnam (of anal cunt fame) and this turns out to be one of the few plesent moments of a record that is nothing but groove metal and tough guy wanking. i used to love pantera. back in middle school i thought they were the shit. when i was introduced to thrash death and black metal (not to mention heavy metal) they just fell out of favor. i like the early albums (the ones that don't officially exist haha) but after that it's all downhill. i will give them one thing. they braught a lot of new people into metal including the coadmen of this blog who will probably have some nasty responce to this review. back to the music. i used to love dimebag's riffs and solos. listening to them now it's just a big yon. rex's bass is okay i guess. vinny is a pretty good drummer. he knows what he's doing i guess. which brings me to phil. his voice sounds like a cross between the dude from hatebreed and some sludge metal band. this is the album that really put his voice on the tough guy hc map. other albums had it too but this one tips the scale. i don't like the whole tough guy world. i never did. maybe that's why i don't like his voice. the music is fun to listen too sometimes if i'm bored but that's about it. i'm not one of these all groove metal sucks kind of people. i love chaos a.d. and roots, and all the other cavalera records. i like later slayer (god hates us all and the like) so i do not hate all groove metal. i even like lamb of god. i just don't much care for pantera. this isn't meant to piss anyone off. this is just my honest opinion of an album. oh and floods sucks and goes nowhere. this band is simply not for me. i used to like it when i was 11-14 but i grew out of it. maybe someday i'll rediscover it. ps bishop, feel free to curse me out in the comments section

sex dwarf demo

well here's a treat for all you punks. this is per of filthy christians' new band. this is a rager from a to z. raw as hell production and per's unmistakable vocals make this probably the second best release of 2012 (sorry but the underlings is unbeatable) i'm usually not much for new punk. i tend to regard it as borring. but this kicks so much ass it's criminal. these swedish dudes really know how to rock! you can check them out at http://sexdwarf.bandcamp.com. be on the lookout for more by this band who is my favorite new punk band. oh and i'll be taking a week off starting thursday as i'll be on vacation so i'm gonna give you as many posts as i can

malice at the whiskey live review

well i just saw 7 bands and i'm not putting a label for each one. just a little heads up. don't like it? too bad. anyway i was out and about tonight going to a show at the famed whiskey in southern california. the headliner was an 80s metal band called malice of which more later. first let's talk about the suport bands. first up was exterminate. i'm sad to say i missed everything but the last song. i say sorry because i really really liked what i heard and i'd like to get some recordings. hopefully someone from the band reads this and gets back to me. next up was velosity. with a name like that i expected speed and i got it. like the first band they were fast thrash and like the first band i would like to hear some recordings. next come fuckin social overload!!! for the third time. now if it wasn't for them i would have never heard about the show. and they were the best band by far. and i'm not just saying that cause they dedicated a song to me (my favorite, heavy metal hammer) they had energy and of course speed. i was beginning to think that all the bands were gonna be great. next up was dischordia. first of all the look (vests and ties) had everyone going what the fuck? but i liked em. kind of a mathcore (i hope i'm not speaking out of turn that's what i think they were) thing going on. would love to get the ep and review it. next up was steelgrave. now i don't know if it's just me but these last 3 bands had a sort of speed metal patern going and they sounded very simalar. the thing about steelgrave was i thought the singer could have been a tad more melodic. hey i love power metal haha. other than that it was really good metal. next up came heretic. i guess they have some history though i do not know it. once again more speed metal with a high piched singer. pretty good stuff. last came malice. now i'd only heard two tracks before from a compilation from 1982. and they didn't play either one! bastards! i felt kinda out of place cause i didn't know a single song. but i had fun. malice is a good band even though they have only two original members. the new singer (who's short hahaha sorry) is pretty damn good and sored over everything. i got a malice shirt but sadly no cds. what the fuck? i'd like to hear more of all these bands. over all it was a great night and social overload, thanks for being such class dudes and putting up with my fanboyish ranting

hell bovine tool of satan demo

alright, i have no idea what the fuck this is. i just got this on line. what it appears to be is a midi grindcore band from somewhere in the states. well.....we have blast beats, grind (i think) vocals, and generally some pretty interesting shit but i get the feeling i could create this. playing with midi files is fun don't get me wrong but well where's the tallent? i can make out any of the lyrics and the mix is so fuckin loud i can't hear the vocals anyway but the song titles are funny. songs like g0d is gr8t!, and get divorced on myspace. funny but not ultra stupid. i don't know get this if you like grind or midi files or just love the band name. that's probably why i downloaded it. hell bovine! the only thing better is hell dachshund! hahah inside joke. okay enough said about this demo. this is probably the most anyone's ever written about the band.

raw noise a holocaust in your home demo tape

hi kids, elliott back with another review. this time it's 1984 and english. raw noise were extreme noise terror before phil joined. in other words it's great! d-beat hardcore before it got infused with metal and became crust. 7 songs of greatness. this is honestly better than ent. some of these songs would be rerecorded for the first ent album and the raw noise split with chaos u.k. raw noise still exists and released an album 3 years ago. you kinda have to wonder why as it sounds exactly like ent. ah well. just a short one but a good one. btw bishop needs to do more posts. i've done over 400 he's done two. shame shame. hahah. anyway this is pretty known on the net so a simple google search should bring you to a link. the best one is at good bad music but however you get this doesn't matter. just do it
