Stabbed With A Drill



When im really pissed off, what I will do is lock myself in my room and play metal albums really bloody loud. Sure I could have listend to some noise, some Merzbow or something to that effect which would have been the perfect catharsis, but I just didn't get what on earth was the attraction about noise. Its just a bunch of crazy noises! Ive shat out better sounding things than this, I used to tell myself.

Until I heard some of the new Wolf Eyes album 'Human Animal', which is out in September. Wolf Eyes have a knack of creating 'music' that sounds much like a gruesome death would, with bowel-wrenching growls and roars polished with uber-abrasive sampling, face-mangling bass and enough distorted fuzz to make your head explode. I believe they are touring down under before the end of the year, and I imagine it would be an interesting experience. I think i'll give noise a bit more of a chance now, and leave those Cannibal Corpse LP's in their rightful place; the bin.

Keeping with the Wolf theme, superb Adelaide collective Wolf and Cub also have a new album on the way entitled 'Vessels'. The first single off the debut 'This Mess' has been getting some good airplay on the J's and its a surprisingly catchy little ditty, albeit not as dark and edgy as I would have hoped. I was very disappointed in missing out on these guys at BDO 06, and if you were in the same boat as me and want to catch them live, the are playing at the Annandale Hotel on the 29th September.
