Slint - Live in Louisville
I obtained this rare release because I observed the Mexican fellow wearing a Voivod (GODS!!) shirt in a typical rock magazine (the Wire?) that occasionally will mention Sunn or other worthwhile projects. Also a Venom patch (GODSS!!). In fact, it is a very intriguing band, with many dark and occult-like passages. However, the clean and somewhat tender vocals often ruin what could have been a masterpiece. Imagine this kind of band with Burzum vocals. Now that's something!

Steve Reich - The Desert Music
Cool ambient/dark project with grim feelings such as Fenriz's Storm project, Thou Shalt Suffer, or Mayhem's almighty "Sylvester Anfang." Very complex textures, though production might be a bit too clean. Also using the desert for a setting is I think very original, though still I prefer icy frozen battlegrounds.

VA - Run the Road
This came recommended to me by a friend in Oslo who shall remain nameless who listens often to the club music. I enjoyed the beginning of several of the hymns: very dark industrial synthetic feelings as from Arcturus or the lost great Mysticum. Also a disarming chaotic feel, and very eerie atmosphere. You can imagine I was shocked then when the horrible vocals began! Then this became a typical kind of baggy pants rap garbage. A couple of the singers had some raspy English accent like Lemmy, but I did not have the patience for that, although I must say I enjoyed some of the tracks from the Motorhead Inferno album heard in a bar before the Nifelheim listening session.

Please PLEASE tell me these are real. (Also it's a treat to see you do the Swedish metal name thing that the Aussies have been playing around with.)

Finally, music criticism that really speaks to me.

There are many passages in Wagner that are redolent of the heart feeling of Burzum's third album. Do not tell me Wagner did not perhaps have at least a Burzum album or two.

As for mothers day, fuck mothers in my opinion. Mothers weild too much influence over the second wave of Norwegian black metal. For some ( I mention no names, but were I to mention Mortiis from Emperor, I could not say he was not on the top of my mind) would not even go to the shop to buy a lutefisk without his mother's say-you-can-so.

Hails Kronhøør. I have a belief i have seen your sister Berhelgehast in the company of that pig horst at the Velmhurn festival. Could that it is really have been her? She has put on more fat and her skin was as wax paper stuck with flies. Horst was with his hands groping at her and i believe the entire festival has heard her fart.

Kronhøør, this was your sister? I considered only that Sverre Johnsen had impressively fattened a pig.

Sverre Johnsen can kiss my black ass.

My brother in law Horst is a black metal warrior!! Hail! Yes, he did mention being eyeballed relentlessly by homosexuals in attendance while he caressed his wife during the Doro set. Typical.

Newly uncovered:

S.O.A.D. - "Mezmerize"
First off, I should mention that this is an American joke band, but not the same joke band as S.O.D., the masters of Speak English or Die featuring Danny Lilker (Brutal Truth, Hemlock). That was the suprise but perhaps I should learn to read the mailorder catalog more closely! When I introduced this CD to my ears, however, I thought the CD was defectively skipping, there are so many styles. In fact, it is typical of joke bands such as Spazztik Blurr or Lawnmower Deth to change styles often. But when one is playing a decent old Manowar riff with rather punk vocals, it does not make any sense to change to a trendy type of pop music chorus. That is just nonsense. SOAD FOAD!

― Kronhøør Straxxflaxx (Ian Christe), Sunday, 8 May 2005 17:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Well spoken words. SOAD are pussies with their conplaining about not having the bedsheets they prefer, their argument with daddy, and so.
