The Hard-Ons with Neil Hamburger - American Exports
HEY. You. You like Black Flag? Ever wonder what it would sound like if Neil Hamburger fronted the band? Well boy howdy do I have the 7" for you. Neil Hamburger and The Hard-Ons team up to produce probably the most hilarious Black Flag cover of all time (Six Pack). Also included are three other shredding punk tracks fronted by America's favorite greasy, cup-cradling comedian.
Harriet Tubman was a heroine to the slaves.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers are slaves to heroin.

Decapitated - Organic Hallucinosis
First and foremost: fuck tha haters. Everyone that cried into their neckbeard when this album came out (and are probably still are currently) need to chill out. This album has some of the best death metal grooves ever. By grooves, I mean the riffage is what would shoot out if Meshuggah impregnated the last Decapitated album and the child was raised on an iceberg by a demon. Or something like that. If you were dissuaded by crybaby zipper-pants retards back when this album was released, listen to it. It's great.
RIP Vitek :(

Anaal Nathrakh - In The Constellation Of The Black Widow
I totally slept on this record until recently. I've always loved Anaal Nathrakh, one of my favorite bands for sure. Mick's riffs shred, V.I.T.R.I.O.L.'s (AKA Dave Hunt) vocals shred even more. Literally. It sounds like his throat is being shredded into a bloody pulp. Cool. If you haven't heard them before, I highly recommend you browse through this blog and listen to
The Codex Necro first. It rules.
While I wouldn't call this their best effort, it's still totally awesome (and necro). There are a couple snoozers that I didn't really enjoy, but overall a totally sinister listen. Dave continues to demonstrate the fact that he can do every form of vocal delivery in extreme music as well as belt out the most epic clean line you've ever heard once or twice an album.
Too Long No Read: Music sound good. Voice guy crazy. You listen.

Heavy Metal Parking Lot is now available on Hulu. If you don't know what that is, stop being a dork and go watch it. Essentially, two dudes just talked to a bunch of awesome metal heads tail gating before a 1986 Judas Priest show. Fuckin' Priest, dude.
Watch it here.
