from RED ROOM by Ed Piskoraiming to make this a monthly column where i rattle off and ramble on all the new and old music that makes me delay life-altering self-catastrophe for another month. the intention is to make it a little easier on myself when the whole Exuent Albumnes thing comes around, while also broadening the pool to highlight music from the recent and distant past that dominated my habits.
what do we have here?
B L A C K I E - Face the Darkness II
just found out about this one this morning. like if Death Grips tried.
GROT - The Face of Grot
i'm not going to be able to top Lee's lines about "sewage made sentient" or "reeking ambulatory waste product" in the product description, so we'll just move on along to...
P/J PROBY - Lord Horror
the passing of David Britton late last year coupled with the arrival of covid bucks sent me chipping away at the Lord Horror universe of comics and novels and this truly unusual book on CD edition of the daddy of all. colorfully gruesome acts loathsome transcendence relayed with the gentle southern cadence of a 1960 pop icon. compared to the current locales of our wild country's collective idea space, David Britton's id is simply de-vine.
WORLD OF PLEASURE - s/t
really like that i'm hearing more newer hardcore bands opt for the raw meaty sound as opposed to the sonic equivalent of rheum-glitter that smothered the life out of the genre in the late 00s.
PUNITIVE DAMAGE - We Don't Forget
same as above.
TEETH ENGRAVED WITH THE NAMES OF THE DEAD - Radical 142
preamble to the threat of leaving made flesh.
BESTIAL PIGLORD - Visitation Hour and OddBall
i recommend this band a lot, and no one can make it past the name without snarking in flippant disgust (fuck you i like it).
LIFELESS DARK - Who Will Be The Victims?
mean.
VIAGRA BOYS - Wellfare Jazz
if you're going to bump the kind of shit that you erroneously believe will make people think you're cooler than you actually are, make it the Viagra Boys.
COFFINS / DEPRESSION - splitpretty sure the finishing hold for my goth create-a-wrestler was called "Coffin Depression".
RVBBER VVITCH - Mastvrbations Malveillantes MMXVIII
the only Nazi i respect is Seka.
CROSS FADE - Ruined
and i thought Rvbber VVitch gave me wood.
COLD AS LIFE - Demos 95-97
while i wait for those A329 reissues
HIGH COST - What's Living Worth?
one of my favorite NY bands.
SPINEFED - This World, My Whore
only track i could find online. another one i'll play for DM weenies who insist that my kind of vocals "wouldn't fit".
SANGUISUGABOGG - Menstrual Envy
i guess this is the latest "overrated" band to make the baby soft cry-bullies of the porno-gore gatekeeping elite flex their cumsocks on comment threads is Pissgrave still occupying that rarefied territory?
YAUTJA / CHEPANG - split
shit dude this is taking a lot longer than i expected. i guess i indulged in the music consumption equivalent of aggravation eating this month. gee gosh i wonder why?
CHEAP GAS - Recipes for Authoritarian Obliteration really interesting sound on this one.
HIGH COMMAND - Everlasting Torment
inspired me to work in a mutant barbarian in my latest manuscript.
favorite music discovery of the year so far.
