TRIPLE THRASH TREAT SWOZIFIED

Woo hoo!

So this week has been chosen by Swoz of the rather splendid Milton Keynes band Hard Target (go here for the band's myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/hardtargethc, get their ep here: http://www.rucktionmusic.com/default.aspx?Search=hard%20target&SearchIn=*&PageNumber=1&ProductsOnPage=20),

rather sweet sounds coming your way!

1.Vio-Lence "Bodies on Bodies"

For those not in the know, Vio-lence was the band Robb Flynn used to be in before deciding to start a band with cringeworthy lyrical refrains like 'Let Freedom Ring with a Shotgun Blast'. Nice metal thrashing madness!

2.D.R.I - 'Thrashard'

The Dirty Rotten Imbeciles themselves with some tight, tight crossover. 'Suit and Tie Guy' is my personal favourite but this is SWOZ'S TTT not mine!

3. Holy Terror - 'A fool's Gold'

Another band I'm totally embarassed to know nothing about! Good tune!

That's it for this week.

Thrash out.

日本語をべんきょうする

I've been studying (or trying to study) Japanese seriously for the last 3 years or so. Progress is up and down, but recently I've started meeting someone every couple of weeks to practice my speaking and check over some grammar points. I'm also going to start posting a Japanese language post with every post I do from now on, to help me learn. So I'm NOT being a showoff or pretentious, most of the time it'll probably be all wrong anyway. Peace.

I'll endeavour to translate this post later! Probably through the help of this site:

Triple Thrash Treat via Khaled!

Khaled Lowe is a brother in metal and booze. He has a great knowledge of and taste in metal bands. He also directs some pretty sick vids for people, with Ninebar and TRC but 2 videos in his resume (go here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Anz_kVX3KGk and here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHE3T3Z6ieQ for these treats).

Any I asked Khaled for 3 video choices for his own TTT, and here is the result. Pretty Awesome choices!

MORBID ANGEL - 'Rapture'

Also one of my fave videos, this shows the 'Angel with one of their most furious jams. Are they actually going to do a new album with Dave Vincent or not? Someone let me know please. Thanx

FORBIDDEN - 'Step by Step'

Forbidden are totally a band I drastically need to educate myself about. Banging shit.

CARCASS - 'Heartwork'

One of THE reasons I got into Death Metal, this song and video is great. This comes from a time that Sony/Columbia did a distribution deal with Earache (around '93/'94 I think) and as such some of the videos from this time had a high budget sheen to them. Longtime fans of Carcass seemed to hate this era of their output, I remember reading someone from Autopsy saying that Heartwork 'sounds like fucking Queensryche'. I still love it regardless, and their earlier stuff too.

Peace out thrashsters. Cheers again to Khaled.

I just can't tell...

:(

Busy like no way I have been before!

Man. Busy is NOT the word. Almost every moment in my life right now is related to my course. I get up at 7 am, get into uni at about 8:30 ish and go to bed at 1 am the following morning. The only breaks I have are my coffee at uni in the morning, lunch, dinner and maybe 2o mins or so on msn talking to some friends. But it's paying off. Hopefully that Lionhead placement will be mine! So motivated, I love it.

"Rucktion Sam"

"We may be elitist, but we’re still human, and explaining to that kid why you kicked him in the face so hard for trying to push mosh is the difference between that kid finding hardcore as something they want to be a part of and never coming to a show again."

If you want a good laugh go to this blog, it's full of lots of ROFL gems like the above
