Death Folk Society
Last Friday, the excellent Guardian published a very interesting, as always, essay by non other than the Arch-Drude himself, Julian Cope.As he is regularly doing on Head Heritage, Julian praises his favourite acts from the underground worldwide scene and he points that "Across the world, underground scenes are using the shell of heavy metal - the volume, the grinding riffs, the imagery, the nomenclature - to test rock'n'roll perceptions and explore boundaries, all the while shamelessly subsuming other vastly different musical styles into their own work".
Julian knows his shit and he is by far one of the best music writers around, so read on!
... and ofcourse listen:
Wolfmangler - Dirge.mp3
Cadaverous Condition - There is no death and there are no dead.mp3
Sangre Cavallum - A Canção Da Pedra.mp3
PS. I don't include samples from Six Organs Of Admittance, SunnO))), Comets On Fire & Acid Mothers Temple as I SUPPOSE that you know them alright. If not... well... educate yourself!
right on!!
or should I say "head on" instead! :p
thnx!
