I love press releases touting very heavy rock music. Not because I listen to deathcore or grindcore or extreme metal or whatever the variations are, but because it has the most descriptive writing, and it's often unintentionally hilarious. Like this (emphasis added):
"NUNFUCKRITUAL's In Bondage To The Serpent crawls from the gutter like a diseased, decayed and decrepit corpse; a choking dirge; a hideous, malformed infestation of filthy underground metal that ignores trends, defies categorization and brings together some of the darkest, blackest, nastiest manifestations ever committed to tape. Degraded and corrupt, these six blasphemous conjurations call upon decades of extreme metal experience to devastating effect, resulting in an album so gross, rank and genuinely disturbing that it is the aural equivalent of being cannibalized by the leprous sisters Plague and Death. An insidious poison running through your veins, slowly devouring your life force, until nothing remains, but ruin. Obsidian incantations seethe with pure evil energy, summoning ancient deities to commit terrible atrocities against organized religion, a celebration of the ultimate triumph of mankind's dark side. Swarming, swirling and shimmering with mal-intent, In Bondage To The Serpent breaks new ground with its omnipresent, all-consuming evil vibe. This eerie, potent brew is, quite simply, a manifestation of pure, undiluted evil. Sickness never sounded so real..."
Damn. I just missed my mom's birthday...
Close Personal Friend 2012
Here we go again! Welcome to the 2012 edition of Close Personal Friend.
Hope you'll also take a moment to visit "Whatcha Gonna Play?" my web site dedicated to set lists. Go there now!
Over at examiner.com, I've got two columns:
Digital Music Examiner (I'm the "DAME") offers free, legal mp3 downloads, short features and interviews.
DC Concert Photography Examiner is where I post photo galleries and short reviews of shows.
And there's a new version of the O/CD Tally - an Obsessive's catalog of all the CD's acquired in the course of my ongoing work as a freelancer writing about music.
I'm always open to new outlets, too, so if you hear of anyone looking for words and photos about music, please share my links.
Thanks for dropping by!
