elephantknuckle - Zombie!!! Dance Party!  A Cyber Grind Zombie Rock Opera
http://www.archive.org/details/Tfr03-Elephantknuckle-ZombieDanceParty

Elephantknuckle…is like when alcohol hit your frontal lobes(of your brain) and the buffer to your mouth is gone. Brutal, harsh, chaotic even fun and meant for you. Yes you!

Ek is well known for the expression of truth by a somewhat borderline personality disordered individual, I think ek is fucking NUTS (haha lets hope ek doesn’t read this) and lacks empathy. The result of this craziness is meticulous strategy that produces music of incredible quality and the inky lyrics that serves up a complex expression and mockery of today’s social issues suited for everyday enjoyment…just a leisurely, pleasurable experience that includes enormous amount of fun and satire.

Ek was my first experience to the underground world and 3 years later, and my #1 love I can’t explain why I love this shit so much, but I do. The chaotic ek from the beginning to now is like a fine wine (well maybe more like a low-end fortified wine like Cisco or MadDog…haha) gets better with age.

Sadly Bubbles McGee was killed…I hope she was able to find her baby’s daddy…again I ramble off topic.

My favorite tracks on this album are Fat Chicks and El Caminos and Make Mass Murder Fun Again (Extended Zombie Remix).

So crack open the beer or Cisco and drink up my friends…Enjoy!!!

Hedon Cries - The End Of The Path Is Nigh...

TFR just released Hedon Cries - The End of the Path Is Nigh and I was reading an article on Bile Duct Obstructions (I know how to have a fun on a Saturday night)…haha and well I stop reading to listen.

Thick, smooth, harmonious, exquisite, and I love it!!!

I have been looking for an album like this for a while. I was drawn to the sorrow and pain of this album and it has to be one of my newest favorites. I couldn't get enough. Intimate and I found it to be quite impressive creating a lasting impression, even playing with my own emotions from past memories.

Lyrics are beautiful growling tones of rage, hurt, the music is also perfectly balanced. Heavy guitar and bass riffs delivers a whole new experience of pleasure and adventure in melodic death metal. A tightly-wound album with power and finesse, its intricate structure is extraordinarily balanced, while amazingly rich and builds in intensity.

Simply amazing!

Favorite tracks on this album Never Again and I Hate You

(I suggest printing the lyrics). The pictures by Ana Koren were just beautiful.

Enjoy!!!

Darkside of Innocence - Infernum Liberus EST

One day a random message came to me from a stranger “check this out tell me what you think” it said. They sent me “Angel of Sin” I replied back, Please send me more!!!!

I have been a fan ever since and I was happy to see them release their album on Torn Flesh Records.

The vocals are amazing the music and lyrics are brilliantly done. Love that tracks are long…a blend of ambient to avant garde music that is aggressive, romantic with a razor sharp edge, artistic and so very complex.

Perfect for a stormy rainy night lots of candles and a bottle of Pinot noir. Enjoy!!!

LIL & MOONROOM - BAD SCENE

http://www.archive.org/details/TFR259-LilAndMoonroom-BadScene

What makes LIL & MOONROOM unique? Or should I say why I love them so much…what I take away from listening to this album is that every idea that they present makes the listener's experience as exhilarating as possible. I don’t think it’s meant to be complex. It quite simple, romantic even, but by complex, what I mean, is that it’s an experience, a force, that compels you to return to take another listen.

To fully understand complexity in this album, you need to try a range of different types of ambient/noise albums. It takes an artist that thinks outside the lines to create something that would leave me at a loss for words, all the components work well and complement each other. I think this album is overlooked. It is stunning and has a real elegance and poise.

You will never go wrong with this album’s storytelling, humor, samples, truth, sadness…it’s all there.

and….Who is this Jeremy “scary motherfucker” they speak about…again I drift off topic “Space Cadet” mode…haha.

Well I hope you enjoy this album as much as I do.

My favorite tracks...yikes!!! that’s a hard one, I like them all…I’m going to say “Clowns” and “Pertetito”

Enjoy!!!

James Doesn't Exist - Don't Be A Menace
http://www.archive.org/details/TFR302-JamesDoesntExist-DontBeAMenace

Others may use the mathcore style ... but don't be fooled….James Doesn't Exist…does it like no other. There are no words to describe exactly its nature but that it reflects the strong characteristic of unusual time signatures, speed and guitar riffs and Nikolai Gawin’s passion for the extraordinary style.

James Doesn't Exist - Don't Be A Menace tells the tale of the quality evolution both in music and lyrics, vocals reflect a sincere, honest personality in a powerful style, direct but quite seductive.

Makes me wonder about this enclosed space in Illinois where this talented person sat creating such a complex experience…but I digress.  

I suggest playing this many times so, you will hear the complexity and appreciate all its elements. There’s a lot packed into these short powerful tracks.

My favorite tracks on this album are Chodzen and Abject Enmity.

Enjoy!!!
