People like Shelley, Penrose and even going as far back as Milton and stuff like that. Your lyrical approach is not terribly blatant which is refreshing. The lyrics are definitely designed to make you think. DF: Well, yeah, Thought provocation definitely enhances understanding doesn't it? There are a lot of blase word used like, the use of the "cunt" word a couple of times, but the rest of it is kind of poetic and it is nice to bring it down a notch now and again.
Sometimes that is the best word to convey what it is you are trying to get across so why not use it? DF: Yeah. Most of the time I am using it to represent the "vagina" laughs and the use of that word alongside artistic prose just seems to leak out more. Do you think that because of the distorted nature of the vocals you would need a lyric sheet to pick up some of the songs lyrics?
DF: Well, it's not distorted. There is a bit of reverb used but that is it. Obviously, in a lot of places but I mean, extreme music demands an extreme approach lyrically. There are a lot of places where it is quite Gothic, as in Gothic music, but there are a lot of different styles and you have to convey that anger. We have to convey that passion and it is meant to sound otherworldly. There are a lot of death metal bands that are at the other end of extreme so, I do think that there is a fine balance between the two.
I can sing clean but I just don't think that it would work. We do what we will but, I think that people expect it. It wouldn't be right to do something that is all clean throughout. It would dispel the aura that the music generates. What are tour plans like for this record? DF: I would rather do like a ten date tour in major cities and put on our production, bring across the dancers and the stage props because it is an experience to couple with the music.
If we went six weeks and just did the club tour we would, probably, end up killing each other! That would also mean that we couldn't bring the big stage show so, that is what we are debating now. And trying to avoid bankruptcy! I think that is what we are debating now. I mean, we do sell a lot of merchandise so things are good but we do try and put a lot into what we do. The only people that benefit are the fans when you give them a concise album with good production and packaging.
You are very fortunate to have such a loyal and growing fan base. Are you ever concerned that they will encroach upon the artistic process that you go through to make an album?
DF: Without sounding callous, no. Because when you start doing that you start writing music for other people and yes, I did say before that fans are awfully important but, we have to be happy with what we are doing. Anything other than being happy with your own art means that it suffers and it is not from the heart.
Obviously, you consider how people are going to react but firstly, you write music that you are happy with. While fantastic on your home sound system, on stage every symphonic break translated into both guitarists turning their backs to the crowd to look interested in their amps or, even worse, hanging their arms and waiting.
Maybe it was him they showed up for all along! Either way, his eagerness and constant appeal for chanting were essential in engaging the crowd, men included.
Although vocalist Satyr and blastmachine Frost have always been the respective mind and muscle of Satyricon, they could not have picked a better supporting cast for either musicianship or enthusiasm; windmills synchronized like clockwork and the frontline constantly acknowledged the front row with eye contact.
While I usually leave making fun of aging metal stars to the boys at Metal Inquisition , I have to say that the bald spots on the heads of Dani Filth and the Paul Allender who looks like a cross between Glenn Danzig and Boris Karloff were pretty visible from the bar where I watched most of the show.
Poking fun at Cradle of Filth for their appearance is easy, but had the band appeared on stage without their assortment of leather clothes and bondage gear or sans an elaborate stage piece in this case a crucified skeleton toppled on one side , I would have been let down. That's according to reports from Ghost Cult and MetalSucks. Cradle of Filth, the Dani Filth -led English extreme metal group, are currently on tour in the United States — 3Teeth and Once Human in tow — as part of their Lustmord and Tourgasm trek, performing their album Cruelty and the Beast in its entirety.
And while they didn't explicitly mention the two openers, the message did include hashtags for them. That could be because, per the reports, the unspecified members of the opening bands tested positive just before doors opened. Taking from concertgoers' accounts, Ghost Cult relayed that "no announcement was made in the venue that the other bands would not perform. Animal activists — charge!!! His brother, the blue one, had a normal bratboy haircut until this morning, when he looked into the mirror and saw that two looooong ass nipples had grown out of his chin during the night.
The last one. Oh, dear. You know starfish? On the other hand — yes, I will. Fuck you. Karl Logan — Manowar. I mean, the rest of the dudes in Manowar might not fit into the world, but at least they fit into Manowar. Big, manly, men with big, manly hair. Ridiculed across the globe, but consistently hailed by a select few. But even if they mistook him for a deranged girl, pony cuts look just as shitty on those! What — the — fuck, Manowar?!
Were it his combing skills? Greg Trull — Dreadnaught. Whatever, fuck off, hair loss is no excuse for making a bad haircut of what remains.
Beggars can choose, they can choose not to make a complete hash of that last thick thatch of hair on the back of their head, growing it so long and twining long thin dreadlocks from them. They can choose not to connect that hair to their beard via the sideburns. They have a choice.
Yet despite the gawd awful look, I hope Greg never cuts his hair. Check it out at into this clip to see what I mean. Poetry in motion. And that helicopter move at the end is definitely the coup de grace. Bad haircut? Devin Townsend. So, yeah, Devin, I sympathize. Logan Mader — ex-Machine Head. Just look at those… things on his head.
Are they made of hair? Plastic tubes?
