Fighting Talk

I have been on a massive soundtrack binge recently. If OST's where heroin I would be dead in KFC in Blackburn with caffeine and sweetner pissing out all my openings. But thankfully they are not. So I got listening to a selection and realised taht they don't make music like this anymore, do they? Films nowadays are all about some shit nu-metal/rock/mosher music that is bought onto the soundtrack. With a few exceptions its all shit mosher music now. Back in the day when I was a kid and I watched films it was always ace seeing montage/pump-up/getting amped sections in films.
So here are some of my favourites I remember....

Can't find the actual end credits for this song/film but this one does a better job I think. Everyone remembers this. Arnie taking on this whole army single handedly.
Commando - Power Station - We Fight For Love
"I don't need the knife John"


Now a film that loads of folk have seen but most forget. Its a cracker, Stallone, big trucks, arm-wrestling everything you could want.
Over The Top - Sammy Hager - Winner Takes It All


YES, every kid loved this. If they said they didn't then they are a fooking liar.
Karate Kid - Joe Esposita - Your The Best (Around)


Stallone's second entry! Rocky had the market cornered when it came to 80's pump-up montages. Its always hard choosing one, this is probaly my favourite.
Rocky IV - Robert Tepper - No Easy Way Out


And finally this used to be the best part of California Man back in 92. Infectious Grooves! A High School Prom! and then that ace thing where everyone starts dancing together. Sweet. Brendan Frasiers best film in my eyes.
California Man - Infectious Grooves - Feed The Monkey.


YES!
Feel free to let me know if anyone thinks of some more.
Fuck off.

Mosh Mosh Get A Wash!

This little post was inspired by the always hilarious Metal Inquisition blog. If you have never read it you most certainly should. Side splitting at times.
As it goes, they have been reffering to a certain brand of extreme music ( used in the loosest term) as "wigger core" or "wigger slam". Now to those uninitiated in this most-awesome-of-awesome genres, its basically the most retarded elements of both Death Metal and shit Mosher metal. Characterised by New Era/Thrash caps, combat shorts, Myspace haircuts and using the term "slam" to describe your music. Now far be it for me to pass judgement on peoples fashion/music/lifestyle choices its a part of modern music that does quite annoy me. You know, death metal and hardcore have been wearing the same t-shirt for years. The 90's saw many death metal riffs popping up in hardcore bands across the world. The entire H8000 scene was built on that very mixing of genres and Victory had one or more bands that crossed the streams as such.
The Red Chord, a band I do rate, had this style nailed from the start, and in such a more proficient way. Since then it seems as if its got more and more watered down. like a taped copy of a copied tape of an original. It gets diluted every time its cloned. I can guarantee what sort of music a kid wearing a New Era cap, combat shorts and a t-shirt with a indescipherable logo will be into when I see them at the bus stop. I'm not that old yet, I still get excited by new music but there seems nothing powerful or extreme about slam-death, wiggercore or whatever you fancy calling it.
Plus its guilt is never clearer than the amount of feckless tools who seem to think its necessary to give lessons on pig squelling ( don't get me started) vocals on Youtube. At least more comedy value for everyone else...just like this tool here....

Its an easy target really. But hey, who cares?

So to combat bad mosher metal, I have got this quite sweet demo of a new Scottish band called Uncalm.

UNCALM -2009 DEMO

Back in the day there used to be a band from Aberdeen called Filthpact. They where ace and played really aggro crusty hardcore. They split and Uncalm rises from the ashes. More grind and power violence afflicted than Filthpact. This is a recording they are offering on there Myspace for free. Download, enjoy and spread the word.

HOLY FUCKIN ROAR....ITS FREE!

Those awesome people at our label have decided to give you scumbags a completly free, downloadable compilation of the current Holy Roar roster plus some cheaky little exclusives and unreleased stuff.

HOLY ROAR FREE COMP

We are on there, but so are Brontide, Holy State, Throats, Tomassi, Jealous and a rare, not heard by anyone cut from November Coming Fire.
So do yourself a favour and download it. And give Alex and Ellen a high five.

I was going to have a huge rant about my dissatisfaction with the music industry or at least the way it works. Over the last few years I have noticed certain things and attitudes. I was going to mention it all. But my friend George explained it a lot more eloquently than I ever could at his blog Hot Salvation.
So go read it and then go and buy his ex-bands final album. Its a true classic of UK music. And I more than reckon will become as cult and heralded in years to come.

I also enjoyed this video of a dog sleepwalking.
