"worlock" is also undeniable

the "helter skelter" samples are hilarious
and while i really like psalm 69, "tin omen" is my preferred idea of thrash metal industrial

what a headtrip
My issue with "Hexonxonx" is my problem with every song on Rabies that wasn't a single; after about 90 seconds, I start going "okay yes, I get the point; now do something else"

but it has that vortex of samples toward the end

though i think i might be a weirdo who loves rabies
― american bradass (BradNelson), Thursday, 19 December 2019 19:13 (four years ago) link
Yeah but before it gets to that point I've skipped ahead to "Worlock"

I love Rabies

I’ve really enjoyed this revive and few things are more gratifying than watching someone with good taste experience something you love. Which is why I’ve watched way too many of those Lost in Vegas Youtube videos I guess.My entry point was TDP and it will always be my favorite, but also rate Bites/Remission (yeah, I had the double CD so I’ll always mentally combine them), VIVIsect, and Last Rights, as my favorites. I also used to watch the Ain’t It Dead Yet? VHS probably more than was healthy. I never got to see them live. M:TPI and CF&M great, too. Also loved Back & Forth Vol. 2, the Spasmolytic EP, and I think the Inquisition single which had an amazing instrumental version of Mirror Saw that is one of my favorite standalone SP tracks.

too dark park is the gnarliest and coolest album ever made
― american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 27 December 2019 20:46 (four years ago) link
last rights is even gnarlier and weirdly kind of loses me at that absolute terminus of gnarly. gonna keep trying though
― american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 27 December 2019 20:49 (four years ago) link
but like rash reflection -> nature’s revenge -> shore lined poison is the greatest shit i’ve ever heard

Good taste!Ooh, he got good taste!

.@cEvinKey of @skinnypuppy_ changed his album title from "Xwayxway" to "Resonance."The album is inspired by an Indigenous village located in Vancouver but some objected to Xwayxway as a title. Out of respect for them, he changed the title.That's how you be an ally. pic.twitter.com/KZKmUxZl6r— Brian O'Neill (@NYC__Native) January 19, 2021

Getting into Vivisectvi. Is this band getting more credit now with the trend of cyberpunk music and aesthetics? Feel like there's an opputunity for lots of new fans at this moment

I’ve maintained that classic SP’s evaluation outside of old goth heads has been due for a long time. It’s time for the kids to make it happen already.

They’re pretty deep down in that industrial niche. Once the hip kids make their way through Psychic TV, Einstürzende Neubauten, and EDM, then they’ll be ready.

Fuck fuck fuck abort. You know what I meant.

Skinny Puppy were upper echelon of the niche, hardly buried.EB and Psychic TV have had cool cred forever and occupy an adjacent, but different sphere.

Similarly messing up acronyms over here haha.

Vivisectvi is really good but I don't think the bonus tracks/EP at the end of CD copies was a good idea, the tracks are fine and there's some albums I love having the bonus tracks (lots of 4AD EPs at the end of albums) but it didn't work for me this time. Clips from films seem to bother me when I know what the film is, I find it a little distracting at times.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Monday, 27 February 2023 21:13 (one year ago) link
i had never heard Funguss before (the other 2 bonus tracks are 12" b-sides). i dig it.
i've been listening to The Centre Bullet again lots recently and it seems amazing to me it was only ever a CD bonus track, although of course it has a second life as a Tear Garden song too.

They're done, having just completed a four-night stand in L.A. Interesting separate interviews with Ogre and Key.

Full respect, wish I had made the journey to see the tour. They stand near Bauhaus for me in the echoing influence of oppressive darkness always taken one step further. I think Too Dark Park was the peak. Am also a HUGE stan for the Hilt side project. I have more minutes listening to Hilt than SP I think...
