Some of you remember Organic Infest, who terrorized the world with Penitence, a slab of iconoclastic death metal that observed the world in fine attachmentless detail.
That band lives on as Organic, a force of death metal which has recorded three albums over the years and is looking toward another. The band sent out a recent update:
Hi there Organic fans!
We know it has been a while since we last had any announcements here.
We wanted to take the time to let you guys know that we are working hard on the next album, and we are soon to enter the studio again.
We’ll keep you posted regarding the process and the progress of it all.
Blessings to all of you always and thanks for your endless support!
We wish them luck in this journey.

my ass is pretty organic also

I only eat ASS
“Only ass is true!” – Paul Ledney
Fresh Ledney interview – he strikes me as a pretty normal guy.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53wG8iC6lWY
Brilliant interviewer, ticks all the boxes.
– Calls himself J-Dawg
– Unironically sells “Vulgar Display to Posers” t-shirts while showing off his hours at the gym
– Receding hairline
Did anyone else notice that Ledney is following the Varg school of fashion?
I wonder if Ledney is also into permaculture… I haven’t been following that closely.
Except they’re the almost opposite of eachother… but old farts dress like old farts, regardless of personality.
I’m sure the upcoming part 2 of the interview will include moar ASS
He would never! Too little bass in the Burzum catalog. It must be heavy, dude!
Indeed, why should he? Profanatica makes respectable sounding brutal black metal despite the silly theatrics, unlike Bumzur… and while I certainly understand the transcendental vibe of the music, I can also see right through it for how contrived it is: goofy pseudo-avantgarde metal for autistic man-children and larpists, which anyone in their right mind will eventually grow out of it.
The rest of the 2nd wave (Emperor, Darkthrone, Immortal etc.) is of course undeniably timeless with few faults.
I get it: you went to McDs after smoking a fat blunt, wanted a cheeseburger, hung out in the drivethru listening to Abba, and then when you got to the window, your cheeseburger was cold. Suddenly life turned bitter; rage flowed through your blood, and then became resentment. You hated anyone who was not upset because his cheeseburger was cold. Who to blame? One of the few really innovative musicians in metal. Call it posing. Yes, that will take him down a peg. Cut him down to size! Nothing hates the superior like the embittered. And that cheeseburger was cold, cold as ice. Just wrecked the whole day. And Burzum was on the car stereo at the time.
Whether it’s autistic, larpy, autistic and all the other buzzwords doesn’t matter, because it’s still brilliant music. You’re just another kind of poseur.
He has sloping sick old dog tits but he does have that Gen X confidence, that sometime before you’re an adult you better pick a worldview and stick with it. Something missing in alot of musicians who just want to get along, therefore never producing any personalities you look forward to hearing speak.
That weird GenX thing where they figure society is a total failure, ignore all of it, and go back to first principles like Elon Musk or Augusto Pinochet.
Whatever criticisms we have of this fellow, he let the interview subject speak at length and prompted him gently, did not redirect the interview.
That only happens if you drink too much of your own piss.
Makes it clearer that black metal was a projection of ideas, not freaky people being weird. Should have asked him about the “I love ass!” comment.
One thing he may be onto is that that is the one part of the body they won’t be able to reproduce in AI bots. In the future it will be “check the ass” similar to how “check the hands” is now required to vet a real chick.
ASS IS ASS, any other detail doesn’t matter.
Ass is not the peak of the universe, but its center. All ASSociates around the vortex of defecation and sodomy. We must worship the ass. Nay, we must become the ass. All is ass, and ass is all.
Better to perhaps be TOO enthusiastic about it than to have some bizarre aversion to it or even equating it with evil. Those people unwittingly reveal themselves. I mean there’s plenty of body parts and even organs we can live without but this is not one of them.
Imagine life without sodomy.
That is well.
Are there any good concerts in Austin during the weekend of the 11th? Asking for a friend.
Nothing else has that immortal, sustaining flavor.
The acceptance of sodomy is the path to wisdom. “The cave you fear to enter hold the treasure you seek.” – Joseph Campbell (hint: ain’t no PLATONIC cave, it’s a rectum!)

Poetic. I see the sins of Christ escaping Hel.
Weren’t they going to re-record Penitence at some point?
Ten years ago, I would have said what a great idea… now I favor leaving the past alone. Blame Cavalera.
I can’t believe how bad they fucked up “War”. I could barely even recognize it.
If they had just re-recorded the first two EPs with the precision of Beneath the Remains, they would have created a legend. Instead? Slipknot with blast beats.
Bestial Devastation doesn’t need a re-recording; it sounds fine as it is. A version of Morbid Visions that was true to the original but with the guitars in tune would have been amazing, though.
I imagine these re-recordings have nothing to do with artistic need. If they wanted to make a winner, they would have done up early Sepultura like mid-period Sepultura. Instead we get this mishmash of influences that seems like a list of winners to target written up by the record label.
Cavalera is going to re-record it as a Linkin Park tribute.
“Modern metal” is excrement, mostly alt rok and numetal.
Sammath are going to be playing shows in Texas next year. Bert Stebbins confirmed appearance?
Every meyalhead in Souf Texass is gonna be there pendejo
Fuck dude I’d drive from California if I thought my van would make it
Is it a panel van with FREE CANDY written on the side?
Cringe
You would do better with a van marked FREE HEALTHCARE, FREE SOCIAL SECURITY, FREE STUDENT LOANS, or FREE PUBLIC SCHOOLING. Them voters, they cain’t stop themselves!
Fuck off with that sappy bullshit and get a life

So say we all
Brett, what is your opinion on these releases?
Monstrosity – In Dark Purity
Sacramentum – The Coming of Chaos
Morpheus Descends – 94 and 97 EP:s
Here’s two out of three:
https://www.deathmetal.org/bands/monstrosity/monstrosity-in_dark_purity/
https://www.deathmetal.org/bands/sacramentum/sacramentum-coming_of_chaos_the/
I’m not Brett, but my take:
“In Dark Purity” is a good album, but also a de-evolution towards heavy metal. These days, I can’t find a good reason to listen to anything by Monstrosity other than “Imperial Doom”. Similar story with “The Coming of Chaos” — good, but devolves into heavy metal, and is entirely secondary to the band’s earlier work. “Chronicles of the Shadowed Ones”, however, is probably my favorite from Morpheus Descends — the songs are more patient and measured than on the debut, and less “slamming”. Apt album title — “shadowed” is a good description for that album’s feel.
I have to agree on Chronicles of the Shadowed Ones. Like Hypocrisy, this band does its best work in EP format.
It seems the history of metal, after heavy metal, has been trying to transcend heavy metal, which still has too much of the rockmoron mentality. I blame Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin. The NWOBHM tried to bring back something more interesting, but even Black Sabbath got sucked into wanting to try to be Led Zeppelin, Def Leppard, and Metallica. The herdbucks are just too tempting, specially if you got cocaine to buy in bulk.
Free cocaine would fix that problem.
Workers of the world (sniff) unite! You have nothing to lose but (sniff) your lack of better living through chemistry.
deep purple has more classical influence than black sabbath
Not really. There are moments inspired by classical music as there were in many prog rock bands, but the composition of the bulk of the songs was straight up rock just with a melodic twist, not to mention that it was weak as shit and about as heavy as a fart in a gossamer condom floating over the catatonic crowd during a church service.
I will say this, the only one I listen to is Morpheus Descends, the others are just not tgat interesting or distinctive.
I can’t hear anything, I’m deaf from a fryer accident.
I can’t see anything, I got Zika from the State Department.

Luxury. We used to have to get out of the lake at three o’clock in the morning, clean the lake, eat a handful of hot gravel, go to work at the mill every day for tuppence a month, come home, and Dad would beat us around the head and neck with a broken bottle, if we were LUCKY!
Back in my day you had to go outside to touch grass.
