2 More Ways I Learned How To Alienate Myself From The Opposite Sex

So it's 6th grade and I constantly listened to both of these albums and chicks didn't dig me, so yeah. This shit was super metal to me back in the day. It may not be as cool as saying you listened to Slayer when you were 5 and Cannibal Corpse entered your life at age 8... but whatever, kinda had to listen to what I could get my hand's on bro! Sorry I couldn't live down in Florida during their big death metal scene era. HA! White Zombie... why I think Rob Zombie is still cool regardless of the solo material he puts out... So see what makes movies like House of 1,000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects the way they are.

Jucifer

thJroUneCd IinF bEloRod

"2010 release, the seventh release from acclaimed Sludge Metallers, Jucifer. The album was completed during a snowstorm in December 2009 at Akdar Studios in Pennsylvania. Its lyrics and music address themes of war, conquest and nihilism, spanning a broad time-line of human existence. Formed in 1993, Jucifer is known for pioneering the two-piece band and being the first to tour at club level with stadium sized amplification--a literal wall of sound. Their music presaged and paved the way for current acceptance of experimentation and genre crossing between Extreme Metal and other styles of music." - cdnow.com -

Italian Love Songs?!?!

Mike Patton of *takes a deep breath* Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Fantomas, Tomahawk, Peeping Tom, and General Patton vs The X-ecutioner's fame has done something different (big surprise!). A few years back he performed with a full orchestra doing classic Italian love songs from the 50's and 60's. Why? Who knows... but his vocals are truly amazing and even though he may speak English, it definitely doesn't take away from his ability to sing in Italian. So put this album on and be surprised by something that is truly unique. You'll like at least one song, I promise. If not, put this bad boy on next time you have a lady over and cook a big bowl of pasta and break out the bread sticks, red wine and truly sweep her off her feet, son. So enjoy!

Jucifer

So here's another band playing at Maryland Death Fest 2010... however, this band has many attendee's scratching their head. Jucifer at a death fest? It's true this band doesn't play death, black, grind, or thrash metal... however, they play the loudest sludge doom you ever heard. It may be typical fashion to say "no clit in the pit", but this chick (amber valentine) can sing her ass off and not only that she plays using 9 cabinet amps (or more) and blows the clothes off of people like an 80's rock video. Her and husband Edgar Livengood tour nomad style constantly and drop albums every few years. Their last album, "L' Autrichienne" was a concept album about Marie Antoinette. It's tracks all differed in style and range from heavy and fast to slow and deep and everything in between. So we decided to throw said album up on the Poonangular blog. So check out this different, yet awesome album that definitely shows that you can't judge a book by its cover. Not only that, but Scott Hull of Pig Destroyer/Agoraphobic Nosebleed fame did production on the album, so you know it's loud. Basically if you like Black Sabbath, The Melvins, or PJ Harvey, then you'll enjoy this record. Play this at extreme volumes!

Melechesh

In honor of MDF2010, we here at Poonangular are droppin' albums from some of this year's performers left and right... So throughout April and May keep an eye out for some br00tal albums (says the guy who just did a deftones megapost). Here we have Melechesh and excerpt from Wikipedia.

"Melechesh is a melodic black metal band that originated in Jerusalem. Ashmedi started the band as a solo project in 1993. In the following year, guitarist Moloch and drummer Lord Curse were added to the line-up. The band’s goal was to create a type of black metal incorporating extensive Middle Eastern influences mainly based on Mesopotamian/Sumerian and occult  themes (both musically and lyrically); the band invented the title "Mesopotamian Metal" to best describe their type of metal."

Mesopotamian Metal? Holy Fuck! You'll get it once you listen to it. It is indeed a fierce listen and quite an enjoyable one at that. This is their most resent release from 2006, "Emissaires" and probably their best in my opinion. So go ahead and check this awesome record because I can't wait to see these guys live!

John Butler Trio - April Uprising

So this band isn't really my sort of thing, but this is for a friend... so enjoy!

"The John Butler Trio are an Australian folk/roots/rock band, whose freeform jamming style, which absorbs a number of traditional music styles, has built them strong reputation as live performers." -cdnow.com-

"John Butler returns with his first album in three years, April Uprising, on April 6, 2010.

The album finds the multi-platinum Australian artist with a new line up and a new label in the States, ATO Records. Recorded at The Compound, Butler s self-built studio in the heart of his hometown of Fremantle, Western Australia, April Uprising is the followup to 2007 s critically acclaimed and globally successful release, Grand National. This album yielded a number one US Triple A single, 'Better Than,' and rave reviews for its sophisticated mix of guitar stylings, hip hop beats and intelligent, socially conscious lyrics. The release also attracted a global audience and found the former busker-turned-international-recording-and-touring artist appearing at music fests worldwide performing as the John Butler Trio." -cdnow.com-

New Shit! New Shit! New Shit!

So it's been 2 1/2 months into 2010 and some albums of pure awesomeness are already starting to pour in from the kick ass rivers of music. So here's 2 new albums, one just came out and the other is about to come out.

First up we have BLACK BREATH. This band is from Seattle and even though Seattle is known for depression, this band is definitely not depressed... they're fucking ANGRY! Black Breath play a mix of metal, hardcore, thrash, death metal (all old school versions of) in a crusty kinda way. This album is packed with riffs and Black Breath definitely surpassed their previous ep, "Razor To Oblivion" on this one. Solo's going off, circle pit educing riffage, and pissed as hell vocals all combine together to make one hell of a record. So do enjoy... highly recommended. Definitely can't wait to catch these guys at Maryland Death Fest this year.

Black Breath - "Heavy Breathing"

02 - Eat The Witch
03 - Escape From Death

Lastly, we have Negură Bunget from Romania. Scary band name, scary album cover, scary Romanian language = scary album. This album is awesome black metal done in a unique way... with a lot of different instruments and tons of progressive ideas. Negură Bunget have put out an album that is purely amazing and it definitely delivers. I doubt anyone can walk away from this album not thinking what they just heard was amazing. So enjoy this one, definitely worth a download even if you're not a huge black metal fan. Romanian Progressive Folk-Post-Black Metal? j/k

Nirvana (not the hits)

Nirvana, yeah... they have a bunch of singles on the radio that you've heard a million times. However, they released a b-sides record filled with out takes, rarities, bbc sessions, etc. I always liked this album more than "Nevermind" or "In Utero" or "Bleach" and until recently I didn't know why it clicked until I recently saw "About A Son" the movie that was just still shots and video of Seattle while an interview played. Kurt said he wanted to write sappy pop songs, but with the heaviness of black sabbath. Actually, I think his reference was he wanted to mix The Beatles w/ Black Sabbath. So anyways, this album, I think really captures the sound he was hoping to achieve as opposed to making radio hits and the forced hit writing demands from the record label. This album catches a unique, genuine sound of a band that changed music for a while. So yeah, enough reminiscing. This album is definitely awesome, not a bad track. The 2nd half of the record is really killer. Enjoy!

Incantation - Infernal Storm

So this is one of the first death metal albums I purchased on my own. I say on my own because most of my friends (actually all) don't really care for Incantation. I on the other hand like Incantation's take on death metal, especially on this album. I like the slow heaviness of it and the vocals are killer, lol. Plus Kyle from Incantation has a mustache (anal cunt reference). Anyways, this is my favorite album of theirs. So check it out if you're into DM, bro. (_|_)>FRRRRT!!!

Cephalic Carnage (the good years)

So Cephalic Carnage ain't what they use to be, but they did put out "Lucid Interval"... this was probably my first grind/death metal albums purchase. Really heavy, loud, chaotic, awesome grindy death metal. These guys smoke a ton of weed and create what they call "Rocky Mountain Hydro Grind". Enjoy their greatest release.

Dax Riggs (acid bath, agents of oblivion, deadboy and the elephantmen)

Cult classic Acid Bath front man, Dax Riggs now makes eerie down south folk rock instead of insane sludge metal? Yeah, it's true... it's like this guy gets further and further away from the heavy. Don't let that fool you though, this record has just as much heart as past bands. Now a soloist, Dax has a distinct voice that echoes throughout this record. Hauntingly beautiful, yeah I know... gay. Enjoy it, I do.

Dax Riggs - "If This Is Hell, Then I'm Lucky"

Curlupanddie (not the salon)

Sadly disbanded in 2005, Curlupanddie were probably my favorite band ever. Anyways, it's brootal technical hardcore digital metal with vocals you can't understand and even more complicated lyrics that don't belong in such a vocal styling. The song titles are long and silly and I'm not typing them all. Fuck it, but do check out this solid record produced by none other than Kurt Ballou. Enjoy.

Curlupanddie - "Unfortunately We're Not Robots"

Suicide Note

One of my favorite records of 2002. Kurt Ballou really knows how to make a record kick, too bad he can't do that for Converge's last few releases. However, instead of boring you... this sounds like if Curlupanddie made a rock and roll record. Simple, easy, awesome.

Suicide Note - "You're Not Looking So Good"

01 - Not In A Million Years
02 - Random Hell
03 - Black Cat
04 - Gag Reflux

Suffocation - Pierced From Within

If you don't know who Suffocation is, then off yourself now. These masters of death metal have paved the way for some of the most br00tal death metal bands today. This is probably my most favorite album of all time and I have a secret boner fantasy that they would tour and play this record in it's entirety like most bands are doing these days with their classic albums. Released in 1995, this record's sounds as if it were released yesterday. Suffocation definitely know what they're doing. Enjoy.

Hardcore Usually Sucks

This is another one of my favorite albums from the past. I usually don't go for simple hardcore bands, but this band takes hardcore to the next level. The riffs on this album are reason enough to download it. It's heavy, it's angry, it's fucking awesome. The Hope Conspiracy, a band that I have yet to see live and would most likely go see if they ever came to town. Anyways, check out this awesome album.

The Hope Conspiracy "Cold Blue"

01 - Fragile

Political Hardcore Punk Metal!?!?

It seems that I'm posting some old favorites here lately (that pg.99 post). This is another awesome band from Virginia. They play a hardcore punk metal mix that's just great. For a three piece this band is incredibly loud and luckily I was able to catch them live back in '03 before they split up (I think they're split up). Anyways, if you like Pg.99, you'll love these guys even though this band is a little more instrumental at times. Enjoy.

Tombs - Winter Hours

So this is an interesting band, considering they're on Relapse (they've been signing a lot of crap lately). They play a mixture of Black Metal, Doom, Shoe Gaze, Noise, etc. They're what you might call "Post-Black Metal" or whatever... names are silly, but regardless, this record is fucking LOUD! So enjoy this hidden gem that everyone seems to be sleeping on. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing them at this years Maryland Death Fest for sure!

Virginia Is For Lovers

So here is a post of one of my favorite bands, Pageninetynine (pg.99). They're from Sterling, VA and their music can somewhat be described as a mixture of Punk, Hardcore, Spazz, Grind, and Metal. This is my favorite album of theirs, it's "Document #8". I think it's their heaviest material recorded. They recently remastered it and re-released it with 2 bonus tracks that can be found on their split 7" w/ City of Caterpillar (another awesome band) and this is said version. Enjoy.
