Razor Of Occam

Homage To Martyrs, 2009 More metal for those who gave bad votes to the Bathory thing! Razor Of Occam is the best moniker I heard in years, and the music is an intense festival of straight forward thrash and black metal - there is no reason not to support this excellent album! He that will not reason is a bigot, he that cannot reason is a fool, and he that dares not reason is a slave. Sure, it's nothing you haven't heard before in the Bathory|Slayer department/Australian war metal subsection, but this is masterfully executed and produced - and features the nasty people of Deströyer 666. Killer! CD rip. Buy this EXCELLENT album!! Razor Of MySpace

Scandinavian Metal Attack 1 & 2

Scandinavian Metal Attack, 1984 Scandinavian Metal Attack 2, 1984 Once upon a time, it was the summer vacations in Germany and there was a supermarket with a small records section. Along Apocalyptic Raids (yes, in a supermarket, Noise Records used to be well distributed!), a compilation caught my eye because it had "metal attack" in the title, had guys in dresses fighting with hammers on the cover and featured bands with logos in gothic fonts, like Motörhead (and Hellhammer, zer). That's a sale. The disc starts with some excellent, fierce and catchy 80s heavy metal. Then I was simply floored by that track in 3rd position that sounded like a heavier Venom. That was my first encounter with Bathory, awfully great experience! The comp ends with the first monumental version of The Return Of Darkness And Evil, something I never really got over with. The 2 songs on the first SMA are different versions than on the first two albums and are even better than the official versions. Shortly after, a second SMA volume was released, again with terrific hard rock - and two Bathory tracks (this time from the first album). I was totally launched on the Bathory-record-hunt orbit and the first legendary LP was soon my precious precious. And they lived happily ever after. CD rip. I: 1. OZ - Fire in the Brain 2.

Psycho - 7" 2010

the new saw-shaped 2010 7" ep!!!, 2010
Yesssssssssssssssssss!!!!! An adolescent dream that came true: attending a live show of Psycho! I had waited for 25 years until last Saturday, and it was amazing. They're as fast & intense as I had expected, and here is their new 7": raw attack of 80s fast hardcore (new songs and rerecording of "Animal") and a GG Allin cover. Totally abrasive thrashcore on a SAW-SHAPED PIECE OF VINYL!!! You can't live without it.
After one medium sized joint outside the club, the info slipped that there is a new full length album in the works to be released later in 2010. Also Charlie Infection said a Cancerous Growth discography CD is also being prepared. At last!!!

Peggio Punx

Discography - CD 1, 1981/1989 Discography - CD 2 (live), 1982/1989 There is a big DKs influence in all this! These records still deliver some excellent and classic 80s Italian hardcore punk. Not as dark or intense as all our Italian eternal heroes (I'm thinking about the stuff of legends: C.C.M., Negazione, Indigesti, Raw Power, Wretched, Declino... you know the list), but still very enjoyable on a rainy day between two 80s German speed metal albums and 3 hours of Japanese thrash. CD 1: EP "Disastro Sonoro" 1982 EP "La Città E' Quieta... Ombre Parlano" 1983 EP 12" Ci Stanno Uccidendo Al Suono Della Nostra Musica" 1984 LP "Cattivi Maestri" 1989 Demotape "The Peggio Punx" 1981/82 Tape "Peggio Punx" 1982/83 CD 2: Live @ "Giardini" (Alessandria) 05/1982 Live @ "Virus" (Milano) 10/09/1983 Live @ "Virus" (Milano) 05/05/1984 Live @ "Virus" (Milano) 04/04/1987 Live @ "Spazi Metropolitani" (Torino) 16/12/1989 Peggio Punx website

Ümlaüt - Total Disfückingcography

Today this blog is 2 years old, happy zerday! How long will it last? Not over yet... I won't bore you with the usual Church Of Zer top 50, and the financial crisis isn't over so let's save electrons, so here are the current top 6 downloads from this blog: Faith + Void - split CD Poison Idea - Kings of Punk Suicidal Tendencies - Join the army Final Conflict - ashes to ashes Heresy - 1985-87 Stupids - The Kids Don't Like It Read this list 3 times and you have the top 6|6|6. Let's celebrate with the monster cool discog CD by Ümlaüt, the Finnish biker bastard masters of everything grinding dbeat metallic hardcore destruction! 35 songs (including 3 or 4 "intros") in 22 minutes, that's a discography! With micro-covers of D.R.I., Carcass, Bad Brains, S.O.D. and Bette Midler. On top of this they have very memorable song titles, e.g.: Gas Chamber of Commerce Killed By Sürvival Ümlaüt's 5 Demands Presented to the Hardcore Commünity International at the Beginning of the 21th Century and this one takes the cake: Ü.S. Out of North America The lyrics are well worth reading for once. "No arms" looks like a hippie peace song, yet it goes like "No arms, no legs, no torso", fucking zer. Ümlaüt - Total Disfückingcography, 2002 Also this CD does not come in a jewel box but in an excellent and thick BOOK which contains lyrics, graphics, interviews and very ironic explanations of the lyrics. Amazing! Buy this CD!

Et maintenant, pour faire couleur locale et célébrer l'été, je vous reproduis un joli texte débordant de finesse et d'esprit de la part de Sophie Durocher, le cerveau municipal disponible entre 2 pubs de shampoing le plus habile à l'Est du McDo le plus proche:
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Y a-t-il un groupe Facebook pour les gens qui détestent le jazz? Si oui, je m’y inscris sur le champ. Et je suis sûre que je ne serai pas la seule. Le Festival de jazz est commencé depuis une semaine et déjà, je commence à faire de l’urticaire. Dire qu’on en a encore pour quatre jours. Hé, misère.
J’aime des trucs que bien des gens ne peuvent pas supporter : le mime, la danse moderne, la poésie. Mais je déteste cette musique sans mélodie, ces chansons sans refrain et ces exercices de style prétentieux.
Chaque année, des fans essaient de me convertir et me parlent avec condescendance comme si j’étais une béotienne : « Le jazz c’est comme la peinture abstraite, il ne faut pas essayer de trouver un sens, il faut se laisser envelopper et lâcher prise. » Fais-moi jouer du John Coltrane, et tu vas voir une fille incapable de lâcher prise.
Quand un animateur radio fait jouer du Marie-Mai, il dit « et maintenant on va écouter Emmène-moi de Marie-Mai ». Mais quand un animateur de radio fait jouer un morceau de jazz, at-ten-tion, c’est une autre paire de manches. Typiquement la présentation ressemblera à ceci : « Et maintenant on écoute Bring It On Home, enregistré à New York le 24 avril 1945, avec Miles Davis à la trompette, Herbie Fields, saxophone alto, saxophone ténor, Terry Brannon, piano, Leonard Gaskin, contrebasse, Eddie Nicholson, batterie, Rubberlegs Williams, aux voix. » Mazette! C’est tout juste s’ils ne nous disent pas le nom de la fille qui était au vestiaire ce soir-là, son signe astrologique et ses mensurations. C’est pas compliqué, le temps qu’ils nomment le lieu, la date, l’heure, et tous les musiciens qui ont joué ce soir-là, j’ai déjà eu le temps de m’endormir ou de changer de poste.
Dans un concert de jazz, toutes les pièces se ressemblent (« Ils viennent pas juste de la jouer celle-là? »), on ne sait jamais comment les pièces vont finir (quand elles finissent par finir) et on sort de la salle incapable de fredonner un air mémorable. Je ne sais pas si je déteste plus le jazz ou tout le discours qui entoure le jazz. Ces comparaisons entre tel et tel enregistrement, ces batailles futiles entre les différentes écoles...
Si vous êtes comme moi, ça vous dirait d’être mon ami Facebook?

Humour ? Ironie ? Nenni! Idiocracy!

WonderSophie Durochette contre le Jazz!
Allez Sophie, courage, et pour te consoler de l'oppression du jazz (et aussi à l'attention de Dutrizacamerde et Martineaubénite pour les soulager de leurs falulences à propos du heavy metal):








On a side note, The Human Centipede - First Sequence is the unzer movie I watched yesterday night. I usually like horror and gore, but the Human Centipede is in the sad, useless, plotless category of torture flicks like Hostel or Martyrs. Painful to watch with no story, even if the centipede "concept" is original. Ok, not a bad work of cinema (although the plot itself is utterly dumb and cliché), but very very unpleasant... I will NOT watch "Full Sequence" (prequel to be released in 2011).


If you need to spend an evening with something bloody and terrifying but with a dynamic and original plot, I'd recommend the most brutal film I've seen, À L'intérieur:

The Comes

No Side, 1983 Power Never Die, 1986 Live (CD 1), 1982/1984 Live (CD 2), 1982/1984 No, not 80s German speed metal, but yes, Japanese 80s hardcore! Let's indulge. The first album of the Comes lays down the basics of Japanese hardcore the way we love it (they started Lip Cream after the Comes). Excellent hysterical-female fronted punk! But my favorite is the second 6 tracker that has a more metal or hard rock vibe that reminds of the early Plasmatics material and sometimes of Acid. I find this one amazing and can only wish they had released a couple more records. The double live CD released last year is an amazing piece of vinyl ersatz, excellent packaging, get it and smile. Double live CD rip and vinyl rip of : No Side (German bootleg with 3 tracks from the "Outsider" compilation): 1.No Side 2.Case 3.Public Cycle 4. Wa-Ka-Me 5. Sarakedase 6. Kyuukyoku 7.Bakakoke 8.Ningen Gari 9.Panic 10.Koujou 11.Medium. 12. Kane 13. I Love You 14. Dead Body Power Never Die: 1. Brains 2. Take A Step 3. Cockiness Man 4. Power Never Die 5. Dirt Off 6. As A Rabit Of Human

And now, let's watch some black metal from the pits of the forest:

PS: Missing from Ass To Mouth post (track 07)

Sadus

Chemical Exposure (Illusions) + 2 demo tracks, 1986/1988/1991 (2006 reissue) Swallowed In Black + 2 demo tracks, 1990 (2006 reissue) A Vision Of Misery, 1992 Track 05 Elements Of Anger, 1997 Out For Blood, 2006 Back to thrash metal heaven! On their first 2 albums, these guys combined super fast aggression with lots of technicalities. The next two records are more-complex-less-speed masterpieces, and the last one is a bit simpler yet fully loaded with massive groove. Oh yeah they have the Steve Harris of thrash metal, the bass lines are just awesome! But most importantly, the songs are pure killer metal of the thrashiest sort, in the Eternal Zer Top 10, there must be a seat for Swallowed In Black - fiercest maniac thrashing madness among the kings of thrash! Thrash thrash thrash thrash thrash!!!! CD rip. Sadus website Sadus on MySpace If you know a drummer in the Montreal area available to play that kind of stuff (with the Wehrmacht/Accüsed/Protector touch!), please pleeeeease email laurent at churchofzer dot com
