OK, so I've been on another "mind-bending tech-death" bender lately, and I know nobody even likes this type of stuff (except Bro Thing), and honestly I don't fucking care and I'm going to post it anyway. Listening to crazy shred like Anomalous will make you a better person. It will make your balls (ovaries, if you are of the fairer sex) grow infinitely larger, and help you stand up to your boss/parent/authority figure. It will make you super angry and ready to engage in physical confrontation immediately.
I will share a closely-guarded IllCon secret with you: the reason we like metal so much is because it is such a harmonious blend of the visceral and the cerebral, equal parts Einstein and WWF. Heavy metal, at its best, will encourage you to kick the shit out of your enemies while you recite poetry to them. That is why we can't remove ourselves from this proverbial salt lick of total annihilation. We like heavy metal bands around here. And when the heavy metal band comes from San Francisco, poses with weird doll heads in their band photo, involves Lord Marco, and blends strange, atmospheric noise with their crippling grind, we are all useless to resist.
If you don't get it, you are probably either Tea Party, or French, or dumber than two sticks.
Apparently, Anomalous' long-awaited (they've been together since 2001) debut full-length album will be released on the very last day of 2010. My boner is poorly hidden.

ReplyDeleteI luuuuurves me some crazy-ass tech, that is a solid FACT. I just read an amaaaaaaaazing book on progressive metal that you may wanna check out, actually. It's called Mean Deviation, written by Jeff Wagner and featuring art by Away. Yeah, THAT guy. It's a good read and may well hip you to a few bands you didn't know about.
ReplyDeleteNot likely. i know about ALL bands.
ReplyDeleteI thought I did too, turns out I missed a couple. I've been SCOURING the internet for an album by White Fear Chain - it's Buddo from the massively underrated Last Crack and some dudes from Realm. I cannot find it ANYWHERE aside from on Metalarea and the fucking download link is in fucking Cyrillic. I NEED TO HEAR THIS RECORD!!
ReplyDeleteMucho bonus points for the Holdsworth shirt.
ReplyDeleteI just got my change to listen to this and Dissonance,last night. Drawing dinosaurs, staring at Moebius artwork and listening to tech (I mean PROTOMETAL, sorry!) enjoying all that is best in life, thanks dudes.
