Ocrilim (aka Mick Barr) "Anoint" (I and Ear Records) - Mick Barr (Orthrelm) continues his penchant to create entirely new bands for each of his outings, now he introduces us to Ocrilim. If you have heard the Orthrelm album you know that you'll either find it genius or entirely maddening, Ocrilim takes Orthrelm one step further losing the drums and turning in a guitar only rock opera.

At least this thread doesn't have the guy claiming that listening to heavy metal increased his intelligence. Be thankful for small mercies.

Check out Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, dude. I don't think you will be disappointed.

I sure was. Their album sucked. Not sure I can remember off hand *how* it sucked; tried to block it from my memory, but I kinda recall assorted Tom Waitish cabaret bullshit mixed into other shtick. Yuck.

That's the newer one, xhuxk.
Well, the thing I like about them most is Carla Kilstedht, honestly. Her violin and singing is a thing to behold, she also plays in Tin Hat Trio. After that, I dig the prog-rock complexity of their arrangements and the bass-heavy, metal-esque way they approach the execution of the songs. Then there's the appeal of their unique-sounding homemade instruments, their unified look in concert, and the odd cabaret diversion (I LIKE the cockroach song).
They remind me of some unholy alliance between Queen, Mad Max, Metallica, and 20's surrealism. Plus, they are extremely nice people, which oftens counts more with me than it maybe should.
What can I say? I've probably seen them a dozen times and am on their mailing list. So I'll just say going to see them might be worthwhile even if the albums don't click with you.

Henry Cow, Samla Mammas Manna, Univers Zero, Art Bears etc. were bands in the "movement." SGM have a certain fondness for the sound (particularly Henry Cow and Art Bears) and you can hear it in their arrangements.

By the way, I should note that I for the most part LIKE The End Records, thanks to all their lovely goth metal stuff that has no metal in it. They are just about the only art-metal label around not addicted to extreme and gratuitous ugliness. So maybe, if that label likes them, Sleepyhead Guerilla Mustard are more beautiful than I thought. xp
