Hereafter, a review of Evangelion, the latest album by Behemoth

Just what I've been looking for, another exceedingly overproduced, generic "blackened death metal" triggered-drum-fest with no grit, no balls, and no underground spirit. I'd say the best thing about it is probably the bloodless lack of creativity apparent in all of this new consumerist abortion's so-called songs. Or maybe it's the way that they are recycling their bland, wrung-out ideas over and over again ad nauseum. For a guy with such a grotesquely protuberant forehead, one would think Nergal would have the brains to at least attempt something different or unique, given that as a wholly-corrupt money-minded dick rock star, he should at least have the studio resources at his command to overproduce his album into something that (at the very least) apes an aesthetic enterprise, instead of diarrheically extruding a risible plastic mockery of a metal album.

It just goes to show you that the pestilential factory farm of corporate music (and the monolithic "culture" machine of which it is merely a department) can co-opt even the most vital, fierce, and uncompromising forms of expression into easily-digestible Mountain-Dew-sponsored pablum for the weak-minded ovine consumer saps to shell out for. Even metal, arguably the boldest, most powerful stab at the heart of the parasite anti-cultural consumer system, has now become putty in the hands of the corporations, and Evangelion is probably the best example I can imagine.

Disgusting.

Ahh yes...yet another Melvins show to review. Although my prior intentions in going to this show was just to see Melvins, I was excited as hell to see what Down and Weedeater brought to the table. My fellow companions and I were running behind so I believe we missed the other two openers...whom I can't even remember were suppose to be. The first band I see comes on is Weedeater, a three piece band from Wilmington, North Carolina. Dave Collins' stage performance is....well...entertaining that's for sure. Blowing snot rockets on the stage in between songs, singing with his tongue hanging out and going cross-eyed on his hard screams. Now, I must admit that I had only heard of Weedeater shortly before seeing them. Mostly reminiscent of their song Wizard Fight, which by the way would be an awesome track to compile a video with scenes of Gandolf kickin some Oger ass! They played a few of their other tracks that I didn't recognize before they played Wizard Fight in the middle of their set, and they played it awesome live! I thought they just ended the song short until they played a few other songs and actually went back into Wizard Fight and closed their set with the second half of the track. Brilliant.

After their set it was time for a bathroom break and than a beer. As I'm standing in line for a beer, I look over to my right and there are the boys from Weedeater. I decided to say hi and put my two cents in on how I thought their show went. I ended up tapping on Keko's sholder (drummer) and this guy....haha, very entertaining and very friendly might I add, as I shake his hand, he decided a hug would be much cooler, thus picking me up like a bear and twirling me around and giving me a kiss on the hand....yeah he was special.

Note: to any new comers to the Showbox SoDo...the one thing I don't like about this venue is the inability to reenter as you please. So once you leave, that's that. No smoke breaks (unless you're a sneaky turd and head for the mosh pit like me).

Melvins, well...what can I really say about Melvins and their live performances that I haven't already said in one of my prior journal entries? Besides the fact the maybe Buzz's hair is getting whiter and whiter. They put on a great show as always, but only playing a 45 minute set, so it was a short one for the boys this time.

And last but not least, Down is up. A group comprising of members from the bands Pantera, Corrosion of Conformity, Crowbar, Superjoint Ritual, Eyehategod and Kingdom of Sorrow. Now I hadn't heard anything from this band at all before going to the show, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Needless to say, not knowing what I was in for I just headed straight for the mosh pit (okay maybe a little off to the side, I didn't want to get plummeted), knowing only that I needed to burn off some much needed pent up aggression and frustration. Some where in the mix of being bumped and pushed around, I decided to go for a ride on top of the crowd (it's been years since I've actually crowd surfed). As I'm approaching the front of the stage I turn and see Phil Anselmo right there in front of me. So I just screamed "Yeah PHIIIIL FUCK YEEEEEEAH", he points and winks at me. Security guards grab me and I run off to join the pit again for the rest of the show. Now all in all when it comes to Down and their music, in all honesty, sounded just like Pantera with just a little bit more of a stoner feel to it. Still fuckin rockin though that's for sure.

The show comes to a close and I'm feeling drunk, high, exhausted, stinky and sweaty. My car was probably about a mile away from the venue, but with the subtle rain fall after the show it was a much needed walk to cool off.

My last blog entry was about Coversongs in general. This time I am going to write about metal/rock covers of non metal/rock songs. I know that this is only a short and incomplete list, but these songs are the first that came on my mind. Enjoy.

Sebadoh-Pink Moon I love Nick Drakes´ work. Every single one of his albums is a beauty, really. This is the title track of his final work. The original is a quite and calm songs, arranged with guitar, vocals and additional piano only. One may know it through an Volkswagen advertisement by the way. No matter. Sebadoh, a lo-fi "punk" or "indie" band from the 80ies, rearranged this song into a wilder and somehow angry tune without causing a lack of the songs´ original hooky melodies. A good cover, really.

Crowbar-Dream weaver The original is by Gary Wright from somewhen in the 70ies. What I love about this cover is the fact that Crowbar just added their massive sound upon this pop-tune. Whereas the original is quite laid back, Crowbars´ version is just straight, heavy and massive as their songs always are. The guitars are like walls here.

Prayer for Cleansing-Salvation Jeah, what a song. I personally like "The Cranberries" because they are pop music that is still listenable. Sure, it is easy and catchy, but it is still good. And: They are not thaaaat famous that you might overhear them (ok, "Zombie" is annoying). The song starts with this cool guitar chords, a really fruitfully riff here. Prayer for Cleansing (who invented "deathcore" years ago and are now know as parts of Between The Buried And Me) take over this starting chords, add some more speed, screams, short blasts and a great cover of a good song is made. They added clean vocals on the chorus which is a really cool thing here.

Nevermore-Sound Of Silence Haha, what a song! Nevermore is a great metal band. What I personally like about them is the fact that they are traditional metal and that they are no traditional metal at the same time. Whenever I listen to them thoughts like "Yes, that is what traditional metal should sound like today" and then they will pull something off what blows my mind away, just like answering my thoughts with "No, sir, fuck you, this is much more serious as you think". The cover of this well known song is great. I love the way they translated these melodies into a cool metal song. I did not really like the singer at first, but his voice is great and now I really love his way of singing. They wrote a new song relating to the existing chords, melodies and lyrics. Great!

Neglected Fields-Breath Neglected Fields are a tech-death band from Latvia. So they are unfortunatly not that know, which could be changed by this great death metal cover of Prodigys´ "Breath" (which is by itself a great song). Well their cover is arranged with growls, screams, a chapman stick bass,these typical noisy feedbacking guitars from the original....I really like this version.

Well I can crush a thousand stars and drain your love
But it never ever seems to be enough
Rape my mind and use my body up
A Thousand Stars, and your love

Наложи ми се да качвам музика на дискове, за да освободя място на компютъра (за нова музика, разбира се, понеже филми така и не се научих да гледам, освен ако някой не ме замъкне за косата и не ме завърже в киното), оказа се, че празни вече нямам и онова нещо, в което си държа дисковете, е запълнено отдавна. Което ме наведе на мисълта, че няма да е зле да подредя някъде нещата, които се каня да прослушам и все забравям. Така че ако някой въобще е очаквал да прочете нещо смислено, може да цъкне на хиксчето горе и да си вземе Сабазий на Кристин Димитрова, щото са яки и книгата, и тя.

Тъй, в списъка на свалени и готови за чуване неща, са:

Johnny Cash
(!и да намеря отнякъде новия Kultur Shock!)

The Human Equation на Ayreon, който свалих преди повече от година по препоръка на Николай

Down по -сериозно, като ми дойде акъла за жегав, тежък, блусарски откровен метъл

Five Horse Johnson в подобна категория - покрай Siena Root и на тях трябва да отделя време : )

Nirvana и Pearl Jam така и не ме пипнаха както трябва - вероятно просто грънджа не е от моите стилове, но ми напомня да опитам Alice in Chains - онова акустично EP от Росен беше прекрасно : )

Clutch, щото все някога ще направят едно турне заедно с Monster Magnet, ще минат през България, ще ни свирят на бургаския плаж и тогава ще трябва да им знам текстовете наизуст, докато гриза пясъка от кеф :Р (! и да се разтърся за още нещо на Blind Dog !)

Ray Charles също си чака реда

може би да опитам пак поне първите два Oasis-a - има вариант тримата, които са ми ги хвалили, да са прави, но засега ми влизат прекалено импотентни

A Perfect Circle, като не толкова трипосваща алтернатива на Tool

Asian Dub Foundation, когато не искам нищо конкретно, а просто красив звук

мяркат ми се и едни Corrosion of Conformity, за които имам смътен спомен, че съм чела някъде из rawk (вероятно като се ровех из статията за стоунъра)

да чуя нещо друго на Led Zeppelin, освен единицата, двойката и четворката - същото се отнася за Jimi Hendrix, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

и нека дам шанс на Radiohead и Porcupine Tree

когато пък погледнах музиката, която не е покатерена на дискове, а си кисне кротко на харда, изскочиха -
PJ Harvey - понеже, също като Zeppelin, много се дразня, когато имам всичко на даден музикант и въртя все няколкото най-добри неща - има си фенска красота в обикновено грубите, недоизпипани първи албуми, пък при нея дори те са красиви

Little Richard - дори не знам защо го имам; вероятно резултат от някоя весела вечер с Jerry Lee Lewis, когато съм решила, че ми трябва разнообразие

Faith No More, понеже ще ми дойдат на крака, а аз също ще им дойда на крака - а преди месеци изглеждаха приятни

Ray Wilson, wtf? пак не знам откъде е дошъл (освен един бегъл спомен за Иво и търсенето ми на нещо подходящо за 2 през нощта, но не съм убедена). Е, няма да го върнем

Иначе, разни буукмаркнати линкове към myspaceове и ревюта ми бутат и
Phoenix Effect, Hawkind, Asteroid, Activator, Dozer, Halfway to Gone и Alabama Thunderpussy, Crowbar и Greenleaf . Нямам НИКАКВО понятие кога и защо съм си отбелязала тия банди, но ще .се доверя сляпо на преценката си в някакъв отминал момент и ще дърпам.

Музиката никога не е достатъчна. Никога. Ебати крастата. А това горе е просто списък - линкове и следи от всичката емоция, която ще получа, докопвайки се до всичко, което съм набелязала - просто символни знаци на всичкото треперене и мрънкане "Ама ИСКАМ ги на живо!", на всичкото споделяне с приятели и кимването, с което си казваме - да, те РАЗБИРАТ. Те знаят какво е музиката и благодаря на всеки бог по света, че ги има.
