Mazurkiewicz is the Dexter of Heavy Metal Lyrics

The Phoenix New Times did a great story today....it was about the re-resurgence of Death Metal greats, Cannibal Corpse! They are playing this Friday, March 11, at Club Red in Mesa, AZ, and coming to your town soon!!!

"The legendary purveyors of the deepest, darkest, dead body-desecrating music ever created, Cannibal Corpse (of Tampa, Florida by way of Buffalo, New York), are headlining the most completely ridiculous lineup ever with Obituary (also from Tampa); Canada’s heaviest death dealers, Cryptopsy; and Abysmal Dawnfrom Los Angeles opening the show."

"None of the bands on this bill are for the weak at heart, whether you like your death metal played with the technical precision usually reserved for the most intense neurosurgery, or if you like your lyrics to be about neurosurgery gone bad. If hearing a large, sweaty man dressed mostly in black scream about eating a heaping slab of maggot-infused brain matter is not appealing to you, you might want to stay away from Mesa this weekend."

Freedom Isn't Free, Nor Is Music

There is a nice little storm brewing online about the availability of music and perceived value. We are staunch supporters of paying to get in at shows and also buying merch and music from the bands we dig. If you want to keep a scene alive or the bands you enjoy, cough up a few bucks for some digital downloads or whatever they might have for sale. With companies such as Facebook now trying to make your posts, be paid for and trying to wring every last cent they can get to keep their stock holders happy, get back to basics.

Music and underground culture has always maintained a solid DIY attitude, but we have to keep gas in the engine and oil in the gears. There ya have it, our public service announcement about making sure the things you enjoy in life are made to last. BTW, the video below was posted by Frank Mullen of the death metal band Suffocation.
