Now, I love the Soviet Panda as much as the next dude wearing an ascot, but sometimes he sisses out when it comes to music. I mean, does anyone really care that much about Daft Punk? It is just a couple of Frogs with synths, right? So let us turn to a subject of more interest to everyone: grindcore.
As a disclaimer, I have never actually heard any of the bands I'm going to write about, but I love their names, t-shirts, and album covers. I hope no one is offended if I get details wrong.
We'll start with Cannibal Corpse. That just sounds tough. And their graphics alone are enough to give your grandmother an aneurysm. Zombie things eating their own intestines... these cats have active imaginations. I only worry that their music can't possibly be as evil as their album covers.
Let's go with a classic. King Diamond. Shrieking opera vocals... a mean widows peak... throw in some church desecration and you have a recipe for fun. I love it when people miss the irony of Kiss.
Wow, the internet is awesome. I just found a website with a list of death/black metal bands. All I can say is FUCK INDIE ROCK. Spoon cannot hold a candle to Thanatopsis or Oppressor. I'm out. I was going to write about more of these bands, but I want to go check them out instead. Sorry if I'm a bad blogger. This is my first attempt. Death to false metal.

most memorable moment in hardcore history meeting mainstream cinema -- cannibal corpse's appearance in ace ventura: pet detective. so amazing.
as far as cannibal corpse goes... i say "Fucked with a Knife" is evil enough...
Blah. Irrelevent content coupled with stale cliched prose. Please, no more.
