Saturday Songs to Get Stoned To

Editer's Note: Metalsucks actually did a good job on both Saturday and Sunday of providing songs to get fucked up to.
I know it's not Saturday, but I'll be out of town this weekend for a day battle, so this will have to do because I'm sure Metalsucks won't do any better.
On one of the occasions deathgrindfreak posted something not death metal or grindcore related it turned out to be the full album of a band I've always wanted to hear more of after seeing them play with Despised Icon and Ed Gein. Swarm of the Lotus is by far one of the loudest bands I've ever seen. This counts Ted Nugent and Slayer. Although those bands played in large venues, Swarm of the Lotus had the same full stack rigs in a fucking bar. It was almost excruciating.
I've always had a couple of random Swarm of the Lotus songs I listened to, but this is a pretty fucking solid album containing melodic, sludgy riffs. Slower music really doesn't usually get my attention, but these guys pull of the heavy really well. I've uploaded the first seven songs as I truly have music ADD if it's not absolutlely enthralling, and this drones on at about track eight. If you dig all these however feel free to get the rest of the album and enjoy in your indica induced bliss.
These guys have some other material out as well. Some sort of sweet picture disc, a song on an Eyehategod tribute at least, maybe more.

Sunday Songs To Do Bong Rips To

Since yesterday Metal Sucks (and me) didn't do anything yesterday I'm going to do it today. I'm using Crowpath because Mr. Childers made a post about asterisk* and some people (including myself) commented about them. These guys are an awesome Swedish band that I first found out about in High School. Their metal is chaotic and groove laden enough to make for a good soundtrack or background to/for some bong rips that give a heavy kick to your brain.
I can understand why people label them as deathy because I sometimes see a strong Hate Eternal influence, and you can even compare them to Ed Gein(though this may be more coincidence). Crowpath utilizes odd time signatures in the drums, the rampant,insane riffing and the "slinky" yet crunchy bass a lot of bands use. They have a sort of tech style that is reminiscant of Ed Gein kind but Crowpath differs in they don't play it almost to a powerviolence/noise level. They actually manage to get really brutal (obviously the Hate Eternal reference) in both slower parts and lots of blasting passages. Then they start to lay down sick grooves that are low end heavy. The bass riff in the uber groove at the end of "Twenty Years Delayed Abortion" is a really good example of this. The vocalist(Henrik Ivarsson, awesome Swedish name) does a lot of standard screaming he also blurts, wretches, scrowls and even screeches out some dense, heavy and very expressive words that seem more accessible than most of the American "poetic" lyric writers I'm used to. Except Jacob Bannon. <--"The Suburban Plague" contains my favourite lyrics, but there are some other good ones too. Fortunately these guys are a metal band and not hardcore, so lyrics aren't a super, super important element for me with these guys.

The other songs I posted besides the ones above are:
"Like Flies To Flames"
"Kings Among Cockroaches"

The four songs I posted are from "Old Cuts and Blunt Knives" which is a discography of their vinyl releases and "Red On Chrome" is their first full-length album. I know they've released two records since then but I havn't heard them. I'm sure they're great though. If anyone needs specfic track details let me know.

Saturday Songs to Do Bong Rips To

Since Metal Sucks hasn't posted anything to smoke lots of pot to today, I'm taking the honor again. Wait until you hear this shit.
Brain Drill is from somewhere in CA. They the kind of bone liquefying tech metal PsyOpus and Necrophagist play. Necrophagist is a little more straight death metal and PsyOpus is a little more contemporary ADD/spazz grind, which sort of puts Brain Drill in the middle. Ridiculous fast blasts, probably even lots of gravity blasting for good measure, all kinds really fast guitar sweeps/scales/riffs and bass runs/rumbles with the cliche "inhuman growls and bloody shrieks". It's not that these guys are particularly progressive with their lyrics or at all experimental/proggy a band, but fucking one-legged autistic christ they're fast. And their singer really fucking let's it out. His lows are terrifying, and throat grinding while his highs are intense shrieks of desperation from being eaten. For me, it really just all comes together. You get head trauma from the blasts and when they slow down to use some groove it's heavy enough to asphyxiate you.
This awesome musicianship combined with the bands interest in zombie apocalypse, consuming copious amounts of marijuana, excessive cursing and being genuinely awesome are all things I enjoy to do every day. The songs I uploaded are from "Apocolyptic Feasting" but "The Parasites" is also on their EP of the same name. Here's a full track listing of the CD with the songs I uploaded italicized.

  1. Gorification
  2. The Parasites
  3. Apocalyptic Feasting
  4. Swine Slaughter
  5. Forecfed Human Shit
  6. Consumed By the Dead
  7. Revelation
  8. Bury The Living
  9. The Depths of Darkness
  10. Sadistic Abductive

I also recommend "Swine Slaughter", as it rips faces off too.



This is my attempt at not making some ridiculous pun that's not at all funny. This is brutal and fast.

Saturday Song to Do Bong Rips To

Since Metal Sucks posted two Burst songs I'm doing another one of these. Burst is is cool if you're into more mellow hard rock kind of stuff but that's for pussies. I think you guys should listen to this Coalesce song after a few rips from your bong. There's this uber thick groove they lay before using more weird progressions. You can absolutely feel the hate that was festering and boiling inside these guys before they let it lurch out in their form of a metal Black Flag song (not considering their cover of Jealous Again, this is more like My War). It's both the best and worst opening song of 012:Revolution In Just Listening. Sean Ingram starts it off with some "spoken word" (for lack of a better term) before the aforementioned groove starts and this all combined makes for such of good song overall that it's hard to outdo. Eternal, terrifying juxtapositions continue.

Fuck the Get Up Kids and fuck Reggie and the Full Effect.

Saturday Song to Do Bong Rips To

I try to read Metal Sucks and the only thing they post on weekend is a song I can do bong rips to. Considering I just bought a bong on Saturday while still in OH for thanksgiving. But they don't do this every weekend so I'm taking the oppurtunity to do it for them. I'll probably link my posts on their site somewhere to show them how much they suck ;p.

Right now I'm gonna use the song that fit best for my trip back and forth from KS. I've always tried to hype up any band I like from OH since it is my home state, so this is almost ironic. Especially if you consider one of my best friends is Ringworm's touring drummer (no more name drops I promise). Anyway, when you're at home you can sit down and listen to the fifteen minutes of epic presented before you. I favor most music that's short and fast, but Mouth of the Architect is so good at weaving groove and melody in a way that's absurdly metal.

I did not wish to be here, but I will go where I desire.
