Various Artists - "Street Sounds - Electro 9" ( ELCST 9) 1985

Like hunter gatherers these Crate Diggers scoured the used records section of junk stalls,and thrift stores looking for new breaks from the forgotten failures of the recent past.As if searching for fresh meat beneath the rotting vegetables of a throw away society.

Most junk vinyl has at least one nanosecond of interesting noise to repurpose. And back in the halcyon days before E-fucking-Bay ,sickeningly sussed 'vintage' vinyl peddlers, and fucking Discogs! All this stuff is no longer refreshingly cheap!? One Jazzy album,any Jazzy album,now goes for the price of a Roland TB303. 

Some of these sought after breaks often found themselves bought, or destroyed en masse by 'top' Rap acts and their management (the CIA) if only to stop their rivals getting to them first 

The 'Tech' gear of the early eighties is another accidentally timeless factor in the creation of this nu genre, whom some would suspect was the new Kontrol music created by the security services of the planet. Lets face it, all the Top Rap acts were and are got at by Ep-stain , filmed in flagrente-delicto with a 13 year old girl,which is highly illegal.....like Putin has on Trump, including the Pee-Pee party, where he was pissed on by a Putin supplied sex worker. This is what P-Diddy was doing too by the way.......its all proved...honest.

Well, this early generation of the Hip-Hop epoch, didn't rely on basing their childish rhymes on top of an obvious sample to carry the tune,they spent their spare time emptying the junk shops of rejected solid state Tech that White Guys didn't want, and made it work. The DMX, Tr808,third hand Technics turntables and the afforementioned uber squelchy Roland Bassline. Simple but effective,and it made the Kids dance.......bloody Kids!!!

The Computer People Communicaters (CPC) – "Talking And Scratching (For The People)" -(Electric Land Records – EL 1007) 1983

DON'T MENTION THE WAR!.....I mentioned it about a thousand times but I think I got away with it!?)

Back in the good olde bad olde days ,like last week, America used to be a luminous toothed smiley bunch of friendly fun-lovin'liberal fans of freedom.Two Hundred and Fifty years of independence from the Motherland (Great Britain)later ,The failure to make America Great Again has bred a few million racially motivated Religious Nationalists,determined to empty their continent of anyone not wearing the national costume of Baseball Cap, plaid shirt,and fat over-hanging guts to hide the disintegrating waistline of their Jeans.

They used to make music just like "Talking and Scratching" back then, when brown people were welcome to fill any vacancy that was available on the Job market to lay the foundations of an Economy a nation could be built on. Instead of that,the USA are roundly hated worldwide.

This fine bastion of Democracy then proceeded to somehow elect the most inept, stoopid piece of shit that ever stalked the steps of the Capitol.....and thats saying something.

This FIFA peace medal winner and Rapist, then decided that a War backing up its equally genocidal  allies, the lovely Israel, would be a great Idea to solve all its problems.Especially when it comes to some million sheets of paper containing details implicating a certain President who literally shits his pants regularly,for real,in Human trafficking and child sex-abuse among other misdemeanors.

Along with its Rap-ist chums like P-Diddy,who sits in jail waiting for a friend to join him.....its coming soon.Even its own Supreme court has announced he has no immunity from prosecution whilst still in office. This guy is in Office!!!!?????

So if you wanna stay out of the new North American gulags,and listen to this fine early example of scratching...then follow the instructions below:

And lastly play these early Hip-Hop classics to remind oneself there was a time when people ❤ America. Now I have a Tea mug with USA=SHIT written on it.

...and don't forget....

DON'T MENTION THE EPSTEIN FILES.....I mentioned them once,but I think they could get away with it!....

...I Think I just heard ICE banging on my door demanding to check my internet history....i'll see you in prison,or Hell...which ever comes first.

The Computer People Communicators – "Hey Party People (The Computer Funk Classic)" Electric Land Records 1982

 

The lifeless oceans of the pre-cambrian period, surrounding the one solitary super continent of Pangaea.Devoid of anything but insects,and simple plant-life, the seeds of something greater flew on the desert winds,which led to an early version of 'us'.Something even more basic than today and mamalian. Something that mis-evolved in to something quite terrifying, basic, and unevolved.....you know what this is,and I admit I promised to stop referring to it in these pages.....thats right.....The malodorous lesser spotted naked pernicious Trump-oid, which later split from an infected part of his orange ass and became a fully functional Baboon's ass.Which exists,and functions only too efficiently to this very day.Splattering its shite,poly-directionally left,right and Radical Left,and left again.

This very early Pangaeal Hip-Hop , by The Computer People Communicators,is a very early seed from a time before affordable drum machines, and germinated in the primordial ocean,spreading like a cancer in our souls, to form a modern Rap Cretaceous period where the reptiles started to take over, and sub-species like Jay Zee and Kanye West started to breed like Rappers.I hate to say anything is entirely  utter shite (well, I don't actually), but the preceding 30 years of this nonsense truly Is indeed utter shite.Somehow they survived the Asteroid Inpact in the Gulf of America (???), a lost part of Hip-Hop Pangea, populated by compulsively Lying Orang-utans, and misogynistic Rap-Dodo's,where during the mating season, have sub-intelligent large arsed females throwing themselves at their feet to receive the sacred seed for another generation of fools to be born and ignored.

We'll ignore Rap's Jurassic period,as ,unlike Steven Spielberg,we realised that most of the creatures who inhabit that CGI hell, 95% of them were infact from the preceding Cretaceous period.Therefore the movie version should have been called, more accurately, "Cretaceous Park",and not, Jurassic Park...those silly billies.

Anyway, this early computerized Funky seed, spread by someone called Gene "Poo Poo" Anderson (I'm not making this up!),is good stuff, but has an awful lot to answer for! Especially as a precursor to the fetid scent of the Poo-Poo that was to come.

Just-Ice – "Back To The Old School"(Fresh Records – LPRE-1) 1986

Okay!I like the cover of this misogynistic Old School Gangsta shiesterwerk. ......that just about sums it all up. You know what its gonna sound like,and I'm straining at the leash to make any quips concerning the word "ICE". That being the American acronym  equivalent of Ernst Rhome's storm-trooper Brownshirts.

If you're watching this from the Future please don't make me explain,....we're actually living in this nightmare, do your facebook research, USA 2026.

However like Ernst Rhome,,the current bright orange object we call president Donald J. Trump, likes it up the arse apparently...according to his sister that is......but lying doesn't run in the family does it? (Uhum)

His child abuse years(fucked mercilessly by his dad),certainly brought out the rapist in him,and he definitively has the wit of a Rapist...this is because he IS a Rapist,..as proven in a court of law.

Please Future person,it may seem hilarious to you, but it ain't funny,I'll tell ya that!

Yup, an unstable malignant narcissist  controls the most powerful army in the world,and has his stumpy pink fingers drooling on the Nuclear button....which, if pressed,will result in the loss of any one here from the future before they were born!.....Yeah Who's laughing Now!?..huh?...in the meantime,pop back into the past and put a fiver on Leicester City to win the Premier League Title in 2016, at 5000/1 which was larger odds than the existence of the Loch Ness Monster!...i'll be around to collect tomorrow.

Various Artists – "Street Sounds Electro 8"(Street Sounds – ELCST 8) 1985

Don't have much to say about this one, which includes slagging it off, so by elimination this must be a good one?......right?

It's,if anything, a bit Disco-Lite and his slaggo-lettes, with most of the tracks displaying a preposterous preponderance for old school Rapping, lashings of vocoder abuse,early sampler misuse,vinyll-ill treatment and DMX maltreatment with some inappropriate gated digital reverb.

It is certainly of its time,which is why we like it innit?

Various Artists – "Street Sounds Electro 7" (Street Sounds – ELCST 7) 1985

Post Elvis,1985 was once looked upon as the official worst year of music evah! Live Aid happened,and the possibilities of world corporate mass control of young peoples personal taste became very real.....meanwhile on the streets of the five boroughs no-one had heard of "We are the World" by the bloated morons of superstars immodest bleatings about saving poor African children like the Gods they thought they were.None of them thought about trying to save the poor american children from Never Land,and a glass or two of 'Jesus Juice'.

Wacko Jacko did,after all, receive the child-like lyrics channeled from God almighty himself, after a suggestion from his Holiness  Lionel Ritchie of course.Well, God can't be good at everything can he?

The Uk's charity single's words weren't much better....so "Tonight Thank God it's Them Instead Of You"...oozed Bozo...i mean Bono.You couldn't make that up!

Now, what the kids on the city street were actually doing,without interference from any Gods, Mortal or otherwise, was filling their empty lives and empty bellies dancing in dat new Breakdancin' stylee.To an abstract version of Kraftwerk and other European synth-pop acts,weaved in with all those Japanese electronic toys that no-one wanted.

No need for Gods, or Poop stars, who feel it worthy of themselves to save us all from ourselves.

"Its a choice we're making, we're saving our own lives!?".....it's all Me Me Me innit? The malignant narcissists of the poop charts; want us poor people to donate to other starving poor people while the brutal dictators of the targeted desert areas of famine, spend it all on new weapons to recruit those very same African children into the Peoples Army.All this goodness, while Lionel and Michael allow us to bathe in their magnanimous and Holy light.

Jr. And His Soulettes – "Psychodelic Sounds" (HMM Records – SH 954-955) 1971

I can only assume that the misspelling is deliberate, otherwise it translates as the sounds of serial killers on drugs.....which is not a bad Band name.....not quite as good as "Drunks with Guns",but that one's taken.

So we've heard Angela the 6 year Old Rapper (aka Talking over a back beat"? Now we got 10 year old Howard M.Moore Jr showing off and captured on self-released vinyl.Backed up by his sisters (The Soulettes)aged 6,7 and 9 years old respectively.

They've obviously been watching the progress of the Jacksons; hopefully minus the abusive parent.Which I'm sad to say was a essential ingredient that created the King of Peado-Pop Wacko Jacko itself.

Junior owes a lot to his sisters one has to say, but he's the oldest so he gets to play Dad's Electric Guitar such are the unwritten patriarchal rules that have suppressed the fairer sex since physics shat out the 4th dimension of Time.

If there was a Talent show anywhere near by, they would have cleaned up.Everybody in the general Public loves a smarmy kid showing off,but whom are actually, very Crap.I'm still haunted by 10 year old Lena Zavoroni on Opportunity Knocks (UK) for 13 consecutive weeks,screeching her way through "Mama He's Making Eyes At Me"(1974),at bullet-proof glass shattering volume. With a song choice that sounds rather inappropriate to these 21st century ears!?...sadly she rapidly developed Anorexia , and died. At least she avoided Jeff Epstein and Donald Trump,who probably wanked his little malodorous mushroom silly watching this clip(link above). 

Exposure to celebrities, or even worse, the 'Public',before 18 should be made illegal.....the bastards!......Fucking Cunting Bastard TWATS!!!

Angela Simpson– "Angela" (Spectrum Records – SPEC 5001) 1971

Hey...let's take a short break from Electro Compilations and stray onto the controversial turf of who was the first Rapper person?

Not quite Old School, more like Pre-School Rap, where six year old Angela Simpson out does Roxanne by 8 years to be the youngest Rapper on the block. 

This ain't no Rap I hear you cry,even though there's a track actually called 'Rapping' .....so stuff that in yer pipe and smoke it. Proto-Rap is the category I've crowbared this into.

Who invented 'Rap'anyway? The word is certainly Afro-american, but Ian Dury was a crippled Cockney white-man,and John Cooper Clarke was similar,but Mancunians both, appearing a couple of years before The Sugarhill Gang, and Issac Hayes did some Rap's on the "Black Moses" LP,although they were more of a croon than Rap as we know it. The Last Poets get the prize for inventing Hip-Hop culture,them and Gil Scott Heron I reckon? Big Youth, Prince Far-I, Mark E. Smith....Hell..I dunno what I'm rapping on about really,but I have noticed that it usually takes several individuals to come up with the necessary pieces of the Jigsaw Dunnit!?.....personally....and NO! it wasn't Debbie Harry either!

Anyhow,there's one person who definitely didn't come up with Rap music, and that's Angela Simpson, I'll tell yer That!

Tracklist: 

A1 Angela Simpson– Give The Children A Chance 0:55
A2 Angela Simpson– Little Children Pt. I 2:45
A3 Angela Simpson– Little Children Pt. II 2:45
A4 Angela Simpson– Lenox Ave. 3:15

Various Artists– "Street Sounds Electro 6" (Street Sounds – ELCST 6) 1984

 

"The Roxanne Wars", as these call and response rap songs on side one are known as,featuring a 14 year old Female old school Rapper called....you guessed it "Roxanne".She took it on herself to challenge UTFO's hit tune "Roxanne, Roxanne".Of which there were over one hundred response Raps by Herself and various pseudonymous artists.Likely to avoid the authorities causing problems over Roxannes's tender age.Almost a concept albums worth of fem-rap featuring a teenage rapper trying her best to avoid sounding like a kid on Sesame Street doing a rap about the number 'Nine' and the letter 'A'......something I think would enjoy almost as much as her cutesy battles with UTFO.

This one's one of the better releases in the 'Electro' series.

The Rapping doesn't get on yer Titz, plenty vocoder, Human Beat Boxing ,Scratching, gated Reverb, and even some early Bleep-core deep in the mix.

"All the Freaks come out at night" says Whodini......except Roxanne who was too old anyway for Trump,to protect her from Geoffrey Epstein......if you're reading this years later, Epstein was a human trafficker who supplied young ladies for the Rich,Stupid and Powerful,which brought down the Trump administration when some formerly redacted files were found to have photographs of President Trump in Inflagrante delicto with several teenage girls...not Roxanne I'm pleased to say(I Hope anyway!),....and one young boy,who,who was clearly being sodomised by the Orange Monster himself.....cus that's what his Daddy ,Freddie, did to him when he was a little innocent Moron.....as alleged by Donald's Sister Mary Trump.......it's true of course. 

Tracklist:

1. UTFO–Roxanne, Roxanne
2.The Real Roxanne With UTFO–The Real Roxanne
3.Capt. Rock– Cosmic Blast
4.Roxanne Shanté– Roxanne's Revenge
5.Whodini– Freaks Come Out At Night

Various Artists – "Street Sounds Electro 5" (Street Sounds – ELCST 5)1984)

Unfortunately ,there's too much of that 'old Skool' rapping that sounds like a Caucasian office worker getting down with the groove at the office Christmas Party, not unlike David Brent doing some street dance for charity in The Office...original version. Fusing Flashdance with MC Hammer Shit yeah? (David Brents words not mine!)

But at least its quaint and not the kind of hate speech that passes for Rap during the last three decades.

There be a half decent Arthur Baker tchoon,that's fitting for a former New Order collaborator,it just lack's a Peter Hook.

We also got some proto-turntablism from the Knights of the Turntables for your Dad to shape some breaks to.

Some nonsense from Capt Rock's bordering on Novelty Track status,with more of that Office Party style Rapping again.

Ending with the best track on the whole disk, "B Boys Breakdance" by The High Fidelity Three.

2.Dr. Jeckyll & Mr. Hyde– Fast Life

Various Artists – Street Sounds Electro 4 (Street Sounds – ELCST 4) 1984

Oi! Careful who you calling a sucker you Cheeky Fuckers!

I'll piss on your fucking silly Trilby's 

Run-DMC had the,... not-so....,Bright idea of fusing Hip Hop with white Rock.

At the time (1983) I was blissfully innocent of Aerosmith's existence and the pure liquid evil of their frankly Fucking awful sub-Zep rip off of Led Zep.Who the fuck was that dick breaking through the wall on the set of the "Walk This Way" video. This Cunt was allegedly exceedingly famous on American FM (stands for Fuck me!) radio.Nestling, all cosey-like,in the sweaty armpits of Page and Plant.In between shagging under-age girls,and bumming a few easily impressed male American idiots.

I Humbly apologize to America that four English sex abusers were allowed to come over to your fine land and wreak such unforgivable havoc......er...well....on second thoughts, i'm not sorry at all actually.They can all go Fuck themselves,which they probably do.

Remember this is the land of Harvey Wankstain and Geoffrey Underpant Stain after all.Not forgetting Human Trafficker and honorary american idiotesse Jisslaine Max Swell.....most of whom were arrested for....wait for it....handling Swollen Goods;-)

So RUN-DMC are indeed the inspiration, if inspiration is the appropriate word for the downright blight on humanity for such unholy Hybrids as Funky Metal,Rap Metal,Limp Biscuit and the Bestiality Boys early years...Just think, no Fred Durst!..(sigh)...I hear no apology,or invoking of the fifth amendment right to silence on the grounds that Donald Trump may incriminate himself.. I wish someone had invoked the Right To Silence when Aerosmith came through that cardboard wall back in '86.

Apart from the unfortunate influence of RUN-DMC.....what are they doing on this comp anyway?.....we get three of yer DJ's standard stunts, three times,....yes the MEGAMIX! One of 'em done for us by none other than the godfather's cousin's best mate of Electro himself...Herbie Handoncock.

This one,Electro 4, sounds a tad more charty than the others in the series,but certainly still gets those toes-a-tapping.....if you're drunk enough.

More from the Cambrian Oceans of Old Skool Hip Hop,from before they....the Rap-Singers ....regularly called out the Female of this species as "Ho's" and "Bitches".I'm almost done analyzing the role of the Internet in creating this phenomenon of the INCEL in modern day society.

If you didn't know already, INCEL, the acronym, stands for Involuntarily Celibate.These Icel's ,to say the least,don't hold the Sisters in very high regard,mainly for denying them as much sex as they can get,without so much as a 'Thank You young lady. They then blame the ladies for this, and I have a strong suspicion that 21st century Rap Singers are indeed involuntarily and ,yes,...celibate. The cause of this is the unnatural habitat of the Internet ,where these frustrated rappers congregate in facebook groups,and worship such dickweeds as Andrew Tate.They never had this problem in the Old Skool of Rap,they got all the voluntary sex they needed,and as a consequence lacked that modern need for violence, both passive, and  aggressive to prove their manhood through a general display of unbridled Misogyny. None of that shit in the Old Skool......well....not much anyway.....in fact lets just say there was Less of that back in the day.Also a less liberal use of the N-Word.

I suppose we could call this glaring difference between the two 'Rap' epochs, charmingly Innocent,or naive? 

I have little or zero interest in post 1990's Hip-Hop and Rap.Basically it had reached its very low bar for creativity by the mid-90's.Bores the Shit out of me.

Personally, I prefer the tracks that don't have a Rapper...careful how you spell that one. "You've seen 'em,on the top of the pops, the Rapers,you know,you've seen 'em about,down by the multi-story, round the back of the corn exchange?.....the Rapers?......No?"......the Rap Singers.

Various Artists – "Street Sounds Electro 2" (Street Sounds – ELCST 2) 1983

Got some stone cold classix on this one,including the radical re-arrangment of Hip-Hop godfather Herbie Hancock's seminal electro prototype "Rockit"by the B-Boys.You know, the one that MTV refused to play because it had a Black Man in it, so to get around this blatant racism,Team Hancock, made the classic human-less video with the dancing mechanical mannequins.....its a good one albeit slightly disturbing.Hancock himself is restricted to a few appearances on a portable TV stage left.The second black artist to (Not)appear on MTV, following Peado Jackson's "Billie Jean " video.

The samples in "cuttin' Herbie, were suitably subtle,and enjoyed some co-operation with the Herb himself,which cannot be said to be the case with Grandmaster Flash and Melle Mel's "White Lines" which had clear chunks of Liquid Liquid's Cavern used by the Sugar Hill Records house band without proper permission or attribution.Moan as much as they could,the Liquid's must admit if they weren't sampled,royalties paid or not, they would have been long-forgotten today,instead of still touring since they reformed in 2008.

I notce also that Two Sisters also use the Liquid Liquid bassline, no-one seems to be bothered about that particular infringement of copyright law....and so they effing shouldn't!

Its the same argument I have to face regularly for writing this Blog.

I just cannot stand hard done by whinging Musicians,or, even worse, Music 'Fans' of whinging Musicians!Thanks to Hip-Hop culture vast amounts of forgotten and ignored music still lives on(unfortunately so does Aerosmith!),enabling the 'artists' to earn a decent living actually working for a living playing Live.Whinge Whinge Whinge, Fuck Off!

Volume 2 does however contain one of the greatest Electro numbers of the pre-House era in Hashim's "Al-Naafiysh (The Soul)", this rocks the beat enough to open the white boys' ears enough to realise that Electro wasn't invented by New Order, although Blue Monday,is a fine tune,and sold a thousand times more copies than Hashim's influential chunk of electronic grooviness.

Just like MTV,you gotta be pasty faced to get in the Charts.Systemic Racism by proxy.(usually whenever I sound as 'Woke' as this,certain conspiracy nuts and MAGA supporters awake from hibernation to hurl insults and abuse in my general direction.

Ironically "Blue Monday" was where i got off the Joy Division Bus...I thought the fuckers had sold out artistically, as well as shifting thousands of units in a loss making popularity venture.

Allegedly each copy of Blue Monday lost 5p due to the fancy cover.

Silly buggers.

Various Artists – "Street Sounds Electro 1" (Street Sounds – ELCST 1) 1983

There ain't nuffink more Do It Yerself than a bunch of black kids in the ghetto with a Boom Box, a turntable, an Oberhiem DMX, a mike for the MC plus some Herbie Hancock and Gary Numan records.

As vinyl was the recognised Electro media of choice,these same kids would have a record pressing plant in their living room,while us whites stuck to the humble cassette......you can't scratch a cassette.

Me being one of those white kids,and from England, who dug Punk Rock and Industrial musick, i never even knew this shit existed,even if Malcolm Maclaren did,somehow(?), make some electro hits in 1983.....I looked down my nose at it all as merely chart fodder innit? It was totally alien to me,especially as it involved ...er...Dancing(?),which was its raison d'etre.

But, one didn't need any instruments to make it? Rather like Old Skool Industrial didn't? Could all this be the afro-american version of Throbbing Gristle? If so why does this Electro stuff sound so fucking joyful, yet the stuff I listened to was so miserable? Are whites really so disconsolate and whinging?..well..yes they,forward slash, we, are??..Hell kick my honky Ass we are,Sheeeeet mother lickers. As a previous Girl Friend suggested that I have No Joy,I'm beginning to think she may have been right?

In the post House era, I began to frequently notice records like this popping up in charity shops,as all the kids were luved-Up on those incredibly dull House style four to the floor beats. The first one i shelled  out 50p for was Electro 2, but it makes sense to start at the beginning does it not?

Lots of Scratching,lashings of Vocoder, under pinned by Akai samplers,and a Roland TR808. What more could you desire tech-wise?

Ah yeah,i should have warned you....there's some very shit Rapping on a few of these tracks,otherwise,instrumentally, its smoking HOT

Bergerac, Aquitaine, to be more precise, where a lot of the groundwork for the  Hundred Years War was lain, which raged on and off for about 115 years. Helena of Aquitaine caused a lot of the Bovver,her and her TWO(?) Husbands, Louis the VII of what would be France, and Henry II of England......a bit of a goer was our Helena.She was the Elon Musk of her day, eye-wateringly Rich,dropping kids left right and center and owned half of Europe. The English grabbed most of France in the 14th century,thanks to Henry V and Edward the Black Prince.....who incidentally, was a massive Black Metal Fan!?

The story does have some similarities to that of Meyhem i guess,except Edward died a very unknightly death, with rampant Dysentery.....he shat and puked himself to Death,as did his cousin Henry V!? Bottoms run in their family it seems?

I suppose its a bit like the ending of War Of The Worlds? The French were getting a battering,the invaders torched Joan of Arc, but the Frogs had probably the first biological weapon.....Dysentery.

Not sure if the Black Prince would dig this ambient metal stuff but it does sound like a rejected soundtrack for the next 'Omen' movie.It does, however, have something rather medieval about it,if not the stuff of Witchcraft.Looking at Moëvöt himself,i fear that in the mid-14th century I doubt he would have survived the Witchfynder General in one piece? 

                      Ahhh Diddums,he's unhappy!
"As the flames rose to his roman nose and his Walkman started to melt"
(Morrisey,S,(1431)-eyewitness to Moëvöt's burning as a Witch)

There are some places in the modern world....can I say "Modern?"...that a goth would still be in danger of being burnt as a witch. The United States being one of them.They would see his black face make-up and call out the Klan's Moral police,then lynch him as a Black insurrectionist from the Radical Left, hell bent on torching a few MAGA evangelist churches ,just like those demon-crats in Norway did.

Satanicum Tenebrae – "Voices Of The Dark Call Me To Suffer" (Self-released cassette ) 1994

Look everybody,a one man dark ambient band from France made by a very rude man who once pronounced himself officially DEAD when in Froggy Black Metal group called....but you know this already of course.....Mütiilation.
Naturally, all Vocals [Torture Yelling], Keyboards, Effects, Performer [Razor Bloodcutting] – were played by the no longer Dead Lord Meyhna'ch himself.......such a talented individual.

Not only has Lord Meyhna'ch created a new genre, Ambient Death Metal, he also managed to create a second , Ambient Black Metal, to add to the myriad of sub-genres underneath the Metal Umbrella.

It's all sort of like a less frightening Coil,or something from a Late period Scot Walker album......which I guess is some sort of a recommendation?

He plonks on a out of tune upright piano, channeling the living ghost of Diamanda Galas,as he screams and growls and blows a gasket for a thankfully short 25 minutes......bare in mind that in Hell it last's for Eternity,not a miserly 25 minutes....so think yourselves lucky that Hell doesn't exist,and live everyday as if it's your last.

I now declare myself DEAD!

Burzum - "Reh" (Self-Released Demo Cassette) 1991

Ooh Errrr.....you know you're in trouble when the seriously mentally ill bass player from Mayhem starts photocopying Aleister Crowley´s Astrum Argentum order sigil and uses it as a cover for his Demo.The one he sent to Euronymous,the Top chump in Mayhem, in '91.

Somehow Euronymous like it a lot and offered Jew hating Varg (Burzum)the recently vacated position of Bass Player in Mayhem.Yes the band that bust a blood vessel trying too hard to be the most infamous,most darkest, most fucked up Black Metal band in the whole of Christendom......well,..er...in Norway,at least.

If you've come here for some full blast raw Black Metal you may be disappointed? Recorded on a single mike placed in the centre of the room,this can only be described as......well,Crap?

Three tracks of slow Black Metal it says on the insert. Slow it maybe,Black-ish it ain't,Metal,certainly NOT, but it does have a meandering but muffled foggy charm that reminds one of the good ol' days of Fuck Off Records

Euronymous saw the potential anyway? 

The first ambient Black Metal band anyone?

Its a pity that the dearly departed leader of Mayhem couldn't have also spotted that Varg of Burzum, was a complete nut-job fruit loop sociopath who would kill him a few short years,plus a few immolated Norwegian churches later.

Its all just a bit of fun kids,don't take it all so effing seriously...especially Black Metal for fucks sake!? Sometimes its more subversive to sell out,and fade away?

1. Lost Wisdom

2. Spell Of Destruction

Mütiilation – "Black Imperial Blood (Travel)" (Self-released cassette) 1994

Aha!....it's that French shit-Fi Death Metal band whose singer/guitarist (Meyhna'ch - suspiciously NOT his real name), declared himself Dead so he could escape the spectre of looming success and eventually form a new band from the cremated ashes of the old line-up;which was mostly a Duo,if not a solo project,so to lose your guitarist,singer and songwriter in one go is is existential to say the least 

So it turns out Meyhna'ch,(real name Willy Rousell), resurrected himself and the band to release a few reasonably popular albums in the 1990's,sometimes employing a drum machine,always in the lowest-possible 'Fi',and sometimes just very,very  solo.....if you saw a picture of him you'd understand why.

A rare Photo of 'Willy' when he was dead

In December 2009 however, Meyhna'ch decided to quit Mütiilation for good. Mütiilation being the longest lasting band of the legendary  Black Legions. The Black Legions or,Les Légions Noires in French, or simply abbreviated 'LLN', were an exclusive group of French satanic black metal musicians with members similar to the extremely naughty Norwegian "Inner Circle", who released only very limited runs of their fucked up-Fi muzick.

The killy one,Varg from Mayhem, now lives on a farm in France I believe, after he served 15 years his life sentence in one of those 5-star hotels they call Prisons in Norway (they even had a recording studio for the inmates,this is how Varg carried on releasing albums while inside....a bit like Bobby Beausoleil of the Manson Family......but don't forget that Anders Breivic gets out in 10 years.They have to change the constitution to keep him in prison beyond his 20 year sentence.....he got less than Vaarg from Mayhem,as Vaarg had burned down several churches as well as killing his Bands front man.....I think some people take their art far too literally.

For the full Story check out the Lords Of Chaos rockudrama....not exactly accurate,but entertaining,and one of the better Rock Movies.

In 2024 the band (Mütiilation) was reformed and is active again.

Well at least one of the members seem to have eternal life?

Maybe he's a Vampire,drinking his audience's black blood,which is illegal i am told,even in Norway. So are Pedophiles,which is why Donald Trump didn't get his peace prize.....maybe I can think of a new job for Varg if he can get into the USA? He could pretend to be a Football fan and strangle the fucker with his Fifa Peace Medal?

Angel Death – "Death To Christianity" (Angel Death Self-released cassette)1986

 Not to be confused with the far more successful, Death Angel...although it's not too difficult to achieve such a lofty status.....;Angel Death,make a shittier than thou form of Death Metal Shit-Fi.

They said 'They Couldn't Play' about the Sex Pistols, which was in fact total Bollocks, But these Italian would be harbingers of Death make the Pistols sound like King Crimson.

They wish Death To Christianity,but you can't kill an Idea, can you? Most of the triple X-Rated old Testament could do with a woke re-vamp ,but i'd urge the Cult of MAGA to put their Bible, "The Art Of The Deal" on a special Fire ,the Fire of Freedom we call it, along with all monotheistic brainwashing manuals,including Dianetics , and have a very overdue party.

Napalm Death / Civil Defense – "Punk Is A Rotting Corpse" (Non Label-Bootleg) 1982

 

On the inauguration of the USA as an official Roque state.I feel it fittingly appropriate that one does a vicious rant about the Great Orange mistake itself,but couldn't think of anything Death Metally as an introduction.

So,I thought,hmmmm How about something appropriately fraudulent like a bootlegged Napalm Death fake Demo cassette,without any actual Napalm Death on it,except three tracks by an American Hardcore band no-ones ever heard of....or as Trump would say,a Beautiful american Hardcore band that no-ones ever heard of before"....in this case some fuckers called Civil Defense (note the american spelling). 

An early incarnation of Napalm Death were incidentally also called briefly, Civil Defence (note correct spelling),which is why the fuck up of having three tracks by Civil Defense happened.The bootleggers obviously thought this was Napalm Death? The actual Napalm Death track was stolen from Bullshit Detector 3,and is track 1,the snappily titled "The Crucifixion Of Possessions".

Above all that,the lads from Napalm,never released anything called 

"Punk Is A Rotting Corpse",especially NOT in 1982.

At least we can change the title for our own purposes,and rename it "Trump will be A Rotting Corpse".....hopefully soon eh?

Behold! The festering carcass of American Rot shoved into an ill fitting suit: the sleaze of a con-man, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a klansman, the Sexism of a back alley creep, the ignorance of a bar stool drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund Ghoul. All spray painted Orange and presented like a prize piggie at a Redneck country fair . Not a president, not even a man or just a mammal,the world's worst human,and the worlds worst Mammal wrapped up in one. Just a vile diseased distillation of everything America says it isn't but always has been and will be forever more.Arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, Greed exalted as ambition, and corruption worshiped like the gospel Donald is so blissfully unaware of.

It's America's darkest shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin shaped halloween idol.Proving that when a nation kneels before money power and spite,it doesn't lose its soul, it shits out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader!?

Necrophagia – "Death Is Fun" (Self-Released-cassette) 1984

Yes indeed, I've heard that Death can be Fun, but i am assured that it can be NOT Fun also? In fact, mostly Not Fun.

Zero-Fi Death Metalers Necrophagia, tend to err on the Not Fun side of things, aurally speaking,yet certainly on the FUN side of things conceptually.

Sonically speaking, "Death is Fun's" nearest relatives are Dragnet era Fall, and the Mentally Ill although I think that The Mentally Ill are far more morally bankrupt than...well....anyone in Death Metal.

Sodom – "Witching Metal" (Self-Released cassette) 1982

German Black Metal band with very silly names,who were allegedly driven to the dark side of Metal by the threat of a life toiling in the Coal Mines of  Gelsenkirchen, and hearing Venom, who incidentally came from a coal mining area in Newcastle UK. They played a form of high speed Black Metal inspired by the coal dust and slag-heaps that there seemed no escape from.If only we were a Black Metal band said bassist Tom Angelripper(not his real name)to his similarly inspired friends.

Not many places or politicians had the guts to liberate the miners from their squalor like the UK did ,so showbiz was the only answer.

So be it! 

Sodom are still around today unleashing their particular brand of scraping free-form Metal on an unsuspecting bunch of filthy miners,who,no doubt, were more than happy to stay in the pits to avoid this relentless noise.Everyone wins!?

Believe it or not, they did go on to earn themselves a Gold Disc in Germany for a later album.And hopefully no-one got Sodomized in the process?.....you know how record executives are? The ones who start sweating when a youthful member of Sodom asks that awkward,but classic question, "Vot did you do in ze war Vater?"....lets just say, Vater wasn't playing Black Metal with the Einsatzgruuppen at Babi Yar.

Although when the queues of naked Hispanics are growing fast at one of Donald Jennifer Trump's Treblinka style ICE controlled Golf Course,with added Gas Chambers placed discreetly around the 19th hole,reserved ,obviously for YOU! between the Water Hazard and the heavily disguised Shrubbery....; maybe a bit of Death/Black metal would be appropriate for the camp band.Maybe "Y.M.C.A." played over and over again in a Black Metal Stylee?

I, for one would be rushing to get in there first and take deep breaths of that lovely poison Gas,the one that never worked during Death Row executions from the time before the Civil War.

You better start making plans and decide what kind of American you are 'cus they're coming....to fill your reservation for the nearest mass grave

Sodom if they can't take a joke ;=)☺

Carcass – "Flesh Ripping Sonic Torment" (Self-Released ) 1987

 Ahhh, some Death Metal from the home of the Beatles(Liverpool for gen Z),which sounds like Helter Skelter fed through a cheap distortion pedal and cement mixer......except this ain't Death Metal is it? It's Grindcore innit?

Chief Grinder, Bill Steer, was in Napalm Death for one album....."Scum" I think.So, the relevance of this post was to make a connection between Carcass and the early disemboweling grind of Napalm Death.

However, Bill Steer, was to leave and missed Napalm stalwart Shane Embury joining, like ships in the night,after leaving Warhammer,whom we featured in the previous post.

Most of the musicians....musicians???....in these groups were interchangeable, so no determinable difference was made, and a smooth transition was easily achievable.

The Thesaurus for this entire genre is but a slim volume,concentrating mainly on technical Autopsy references, and different,but the same, forms of putrefaction. Poetry it ain't,but it does convey rotting meat as some kind of alternative Flower representing the horrific ugliness of humankind....an image best represented by a naked Donald Trump....of you can imagine that without losing your mind?

I did also have a pint with Napalm Death,at Leicester University....of course i asked for an autograph for my children,so I provided a Fag Packet and Mick Harris dutifully wrote "Salamanderrrr Autopsy Doss, from Mick Harris". I sold them on Yahoo auctions (remember them?) as part of a package I made up, with The Napalm Death Peel Sessions CD, which skipped like a fucker.....a bit like this tape!? More fun facts>>> This tape was recorded in 22 minutes,but still managed to sound better than the debut album, "Reek Of Putrefaction.

PS isn't "Die in Pain" actually shorter than " You Suffer"? if you remove the count in on drum sticks?
