Carpathian Forest - weirdest go-go dancers ever....

I've got so much going on at the moment

and I apologise for not updating the blog often enough

in the mean time

What the hell is going on with these backing dancers?

How'z about some Chinese Black Metal one-man-band awesomeness for a change?

Azathoth - Everybody Sleeps

I came across this band via a really bad demo I found on From This Swamp - The demo is really really bad. A bad rip from a bad tape from a bad recording. You can't really make anything out. Fuzz overlaid with vague screaming. Fascinating. It did warrant a search for online to see what they are up to now. Not much. It was confusing at first, too, because while the band I was looking for is from Italy, there is another Azathoth from Fresno California. This is the other one. But forget that. We are here for the Italians. Dig dig dig and this video came up. And I'm surprised. It is actually quite good. Lo-fi video with nifty animations. Lots of head-banging and a guy playing a keyboard in a field. And insinuations of abuse by a priest to top it all off. A quick brazen frenzied murder. Check it out:




Azathoth is actually a Lovecraftian god. This is the wikipedia entry. Lots of tentacles.


This is Azathoth's Myspace - Facebook - Website (Italian). It looks like there has been no activity on the website or facebook since 2009, so I'm not sure what is happening with the band. Anyway, through the power of youtube we can enjoy their one vid. 


Oh, and this is their Stairway to Heaven cover (Facebook).

Amon Amarth - Viking metal videos

Hey Syphilites,


I have an album by these guys that was given to me in 1998 by a random kid in Italy when I went on a school-trip there. I still listen to it sometimes. 


They are very serious about their vikingness, as these videos attest - At the same time I can spend hours on youtube checking out metal videos. Why is that?

Whiskey Ritual - Black 'n Roll

This is bad. And good.
