Fleshgod Apocalypse || Brutalizing sophisticated ears with new track ‘Gravity’

In a world where orchestral elements added to low-tuned guitars  means Symphonic Black Metal, Metallica’s S&M, or over-melodic pretension, Fleshgod has managed to forget that milquetoast history and follow a path more akin to a modern orchestral composer (as do/have bands like Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Mr Bungle, Shining Norway, John Zorn, Sonic Youth, the list of legends goes on). I mean this in the highest possible regard.

Fleshgod is more expansive, challenging, engaging, and brutal than any band in the metal arena needs to be by a factor of ten. That is to say: they could be ten times worse, and still have a solid following. Here’s one of my favorites tracks for those whose appetite has been whetted: Epilogue

Fleshgod Apocalypse’ new album King featuring the track ‘Gravity’ (above) is released on Feb 5 2016 via Nuclear Blast Records. Pre-order here.

We May Get Previously Unreleased David Bowie Music in 2017

This Alien Jourgensen quote is relevant here: 

“You know, they say it takes a whole pack of wolves to take down a moose, cuz one-on-one, that moose would smack them down. It’s like being in the music business — you got your managers, your ex-managers, your ex-bandmates, your ex-labels, your ex-wives, your lawyers, your tax attorneys … hell, that sound more like a pack of hyenas to me. You know, I was once told by an ex-manager, “Son, you’re worth more dead than alive. Cuz when you’re dead, we can sell you off in pieces.” That’s the way it works around here. You don’t believe me? Why don’t you try asking Jim Morrison, or Jimi Hendrix, or Janis Joplin, or Kurt Cobain, or Amy Winehouse? I’m pretty sure they’re gonna take my side of the story. Sometimes I think they’re the lucky ones. They don’t have to deal with these douchebags — cuz they’re already dead … but I’m not dead yet!”

We’ll be seeing every bit of bowie piecemeal for most of the rest of our lives. Yay. 

I guess.

SESAME-STEIN || CHORUS SWELLS,  MONSTER YELLS NUMBER, CLASSIC INDUSTRIAL

Oh shit. Sesame Street is about to get Ramm-sued. Ramm-taken to court? Come on, you try making german-english hybrid puns! Either way, I’m sure the Cookie Monster is really liable/at fault here, I’ve heard he goes off script a lot, especially when he’s hittin the sauce (chocolate is the safe guess). Cookie Monster’s right hook is mean, wie ein Ramming Stone.

Translated:

Will you until death does sever
Be faithful to cookie forever

9!

Will you ‘til death be cookie’s rider
cookie’s lover too, to stay inside her

9!

and back to

Deutsch

for the die-hards:

Willst du bis der Tod nicht trennen Sei

treu für immer cookie

neun!

Willst du bis der Tod ’ Cookies Fahrer sein

Cookie- Liebhaber auch, um in ihr zu bleiben

neun!
