Please check out my other blog… (or Corroded Funeral is dead, long live That’s How Kids Die.)

Hey folks,

If you liked the now dearly departed Corroded Funeral, you’re bound to like the new blog I’ve started, and I hope you’ll be kind enough to check it out. To be honest, I haven’t been entirely happy with CF for some time now, and decided it was time to get yet another fresh start.

That’s How Kids Die will feature commentaries on pop culture for the sick and twisted, ranging from music to film to everything in-between. The blog is currently in its infant stages, but I hope you will continue to it as it grows and develops.

Thank you for your support.

death death doom

Anytime I travel, I always try to make some time to hit up a local record shop in search of additions to my already rather voluminous CD collection. Purchases during my recent sojourn to Omaha, NE are as follows:

Shrinebuilder

Josh Haun — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 15:23:53 +0000

I just got my hands on a promotional copy of the debut album from Shrinebuilder, a doom/sludge supergroup featuring Scott “Wino” Weinrich (Saint Vitus, The Obsessed, Spirit Caravan, The Hidden Hand), Al Cisneros (Om, Sleep), Dale Crover (Melvins, Altamont), Scott Kelly (Neurosis).

With a lineup like that, the band has a lot to live up to, and let me tell you that from what I’ve heard so far, this shit delivers. Thick, Sabbathian riffage, crushing tempos and a spacey, psychedelic edge, basically everything you’d expect from these dudes is present and accounted for, and I’m only two track into this bad mofo of a record.

Unfortunately, for reasons unknown, Neurot decided to send out a promotional version of the record that doesn’t include track 5. Perhaps to deter internet piracy?

Either way, stay tuned for a full review via Sonic Frontiers.net

In the meantime, you can check out Shrinebuilder at their official myspace page.

Assjack, Hank III’s metallic alter ego.

Josh Haun — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 01:56:28 +0000

Hank Williams III is a man possessed by not one but two red-eyed demons. On one side is the surly spirit of his hard-livin’ grandfather Hank Sr. and on the other is good ol’ Satan himself. Equally capable of whipping up boozy, shit-kickin’ country and ferocious, noisy punk-metal, III’s musical palette knows no bounds. Finally, he treats us to an official studio album from his metallic alter-ego, Assjack.

Rather than enlisting the talents of his backing band, Hank has opted to record everything himself here. The result is a fucking awesome amalgam of gnarly metal, crusty hardcore punk and just a hint of his country roots. Songs like “Tennessee Driver”, “Gravel Pit” and “Cocaine the White Devil” are short sharp shocks of crushing, catchy extremity that harken back to the days of crossover and metallic hardcore. There is absolutely nothing trendy about Hank’s approach to metal, this is the real fuckin deal crafted by a true diehard. One can hear influences ranging from COC to the Melvins to the Dead Kennedys and everything in between.

In summation, I highly recommend checking this out, in fact, you should probably be celebrating the man’s entire discography.
