RETURN FROM TOUR....NEW THINGS

Tour was, as it always is, better than the rest of life. Despite being only 3 days long. We hit Edniburgh, Aberdeen and Glasgow with the superbly heavy Diet Pills. Played with some awesome bands like Holy Mountain, Divorce and Loinstorm and got immensly drunk. We are all now broke and tired. But that is what its like being in a band and I would not change it.
I also got some new things to watch.....

Q The Winged Serpent : Larry Cohen's classic, slightly spoofy, non too serious monster movie. Giant, ritual killing, stop motion serpent terrorizes David Carridine and New York.
Salute Of The Jugger : Post-apocalyptic brutal sports with Rutger Hauer and Private Pile.
Alligator : Another classic from when I was kid. Giant alligator munches its way through the sewer system and eats lots of folk.
Nightmare City : Italian, low-budget disaster/zombie film with immensly shit make up effects but has a charm that I can't deny. Look how bad it is....

Scanners : The old Cronenberg classic on VHS, charity shop find.
Blood Camp Thatcher : a.k.a. Turkey Shoot. Australian, exploitation number. Future prison stuff, the rich hunting the unmates, Big brother, totalitarian society. Has Fifi from Mad Max as a prison warden.
And this horribly creepy rabbit mask we found in a fancy dress shop in Nottingham.
Superb work all round. The only problem is I can't afford to pay rent or tax now.
Thank you to my good friend Si for getting me into this one. Supremly heavy doom/sludge trio Warhorse. Heaven Turns To Ash.

HEARTS SLOW DOWN......

Having beenascrabbling for this for some while now, it was with the good fortune of the Raw Nerve board that it finally came up again. I have been over playing this crap, taped copy on C90 for years. It does not do this album justice in the slightest. What album? The unreleased Redrighthand album " They Sang and Chanted For Hours, Then The Locked In Hundreds Set Themselves Ablaze". A true crime on the last decade.
During the Narcosis years our vocalist peet had been doing this band ( they in fact started before he was in Narcosis with a different line-up and many twists and turns to the story) that was eventually recorded in 2004 by our good friend Mr John Kettle. The recording was a bit of a stress and headache but this was the finished product.
But then the label went skint, they couldn't afford to release it, it got shelved save for a few CD-r's and tapes of the recording which have been circulating for years.
The line-up at the time consisted of people that have/are in They Are Cowards, Narcosis, Like A Kind of Matador, Charger, Hard To Swallow and Gruel.
At the time everyone was blown away by this album. It is still to this day a horrible, angsty, drawn out affair. Avoiding the more conventional "rock" element of doom. Instead its replaced with dissonance and pure distorted filth.
