Links, Ass Shakes & Ear Aches

In 1998 I played drums in a d-beat crust punk quartet called Vile Violence. Lame name, I know.

I can always defend myself with the fact that I didn't name the band. Unfortunately, I have no excuses for the lyrics I used to write. This is from our 51 second masterpiece Pungent Destruction, and it's a good example my classic writing style.

It's starts off with the best of intentions describing some sort of putrid warfare and its consequences in a very lame cliché way, and by the last verse I had lost interest completely and just threw some lines together that had nothing to do with anything.

Along the edges of crumbled streets
Comes another lightning raid
To grind it all into bits and pieces
A burning sun scorches the surface

The stench of rotting flesh
The stink of rancid puke
Infesting everyone and all
What the fuck is going on?

(chorus)
Shattered concrete
Maimed children
Massacred
The tormented dead
The pungent destruction

All the soldiers are in place
The termination is nigh
Gather the forces of evil
Let's blow it all to hell

Permission to speak freely
I don't give a good goddamn
Right on the money, sir
Now go fuck yourself

(chorus, solo, chorus)

I sucked at writing music, and now I suck at writing about music. O woe is me.

You think the atrocities on the Gaza strip are bad? Ha! You haven't heard our version of Into The Void. Count yourself lucky I can't find the demos we did. Unleashing that onto the world would be crueler than any wars.

Which reminds me of the death metal band I played bass in: Cannibalistic Regurgitation For The Murderous Masses, which existed for two weeks and left a string of classic hits in their wake. Quality numbers such as Glen Benton Only Comes Out At Night, Behold The Glory Of Lucifer And His Newly Shaved Nuts and The Three-Headed Serpent Wanders The Eternal Forest Of Mist And Darkness, all immortalised on the Rehearsal demo tape of 1999.

Only one copy made - on a green Bee Gees cassette on my mom's tape recorder!

Now that's trve fvcking ev0l kvlt necr0.
