MERCILESS DEATH on CAPITAL CHAOS 2008

March 3rd, 2010 25 comments

MERCILESS DEATH on CAPITAL CHAOS 2008 @ On The Y Sacramento, CA 6/16/2008 also on the bill were BONDED BY BLOOD, PSYCHOSOMATIC & DEVASTATOR.
Merciless Death is an American thrash metal band from Canyon Country, California USA.
Originally founded by Dan Holder and Andy Torres in March 2003, they were soon joined by Andy’s brother Cesar on Drums and Mike Griego on Rhythm/Lead guitars in September 2003. Mike eventually quit due to personal differences.

In an interview with Dan Holder in 2007 and available here, Dan said it all began when he met Andy during their sophomore or junior year in high school. They had a class together and Dan had just received a leather jacket for his birthday and Andy took the opportunity to say “hey, nice jacket man”. After that they started hanging out and slowly started the band. Before Dan met Andy and Cesar he wrote music and lyrics and saved them because he knew that one day he would meet someone who shared the same desire he had and that happened when he met them. Merciless Death played their first show on March 24, 2004 at the Chicago Bar in Santa Clarita, California.

After recording a self released Demo, Annihilate the Masses, and self released album Evil in the Night, the band soon signed to Heavy Artillery Records and re-released their debut album Evil in the Night with a new layout and cover artwork by Ed Repka (Evildead, Megadeth, Nuclear Assault, Toxik, Venom). Merciless Death appears on the Speed Kills…Again compilation with Avenger of Blood, Enforcer, Hatred, Toxic Holocaust, and Warbringer. They toured the US in August and September of 2007 to promote the critically acclaimed re-release of Evil in the Night and supported At War in October 2007.

Some have guessed that the name “Merciless Death” comes from the song Merciless Death by Dark Angel. However, in an interview with Andy Torres in 2007 and available here, Andy said the band’s name originated from a conversation with Dan Holder in which Dan came up with a possible name for the band “Merciless Onslaught” and Andy asked him about replacing the word ‘Onslaught’ with ‘Death’. From that point on they called themselves “Merciless Death”.

DECREPIT BIRTH on CAPITAL CHAOS 2009

February 28th, 2010 7 comments

DECREPIT BIRTH on CAPITAL CHAOS 2009 perform “The Infestation” from the album ” …And Time Begins” @ The Boardwalk~Orangevale, California 3/29/2009 also on the bill were MALEVOLENT, PSYCROPTIC, VEIL OF MAYA, WHITE CHAPEL & SUFFOCATION
Decrepit Birth are a death metal band from Santa Cruz, California, USA, signed to Nuclear Blast Records. They have released two studio albums (…And Time Begins and Diminishing Between Worlds) through Unique Leader Records and a demo independently. They are well known within the death metal genre for their fast, technical riffing mixed with virtuosic solos, and their deeply philosophical lyrics. Both of their studio albums feature artwork by renowned fantasy artist Dan Seagrave.
http://www.myspace.com/decrepitbirth
Decrepit Birth began as a cross between progressive and brutal death metal, playing complex riffs and re-occurring patterns at speeds around 300 bpm.

Recently, they have evolved into a much more melodic act, mixing direct influences — both musical and lyrical — from 90s death metal acts such as Cynic and Atheist. Their newest work, Diminishing Between Worlds, is heavily solo orientated and resembles later incarnations of Chuck Shuldiner’s band, Death.

DEATH ANGEL interview on CAPITAL CHAOS 2008

February 16th, 2010 16 comments

DEATH ANGEL interview with MARK OSEGUEDA on CAPITAL CHAOS 2008 @ The Boardwalk~Orangevale, CA 5/28/2008
Death Angel is a Filipino-American thrash metal band from Concord, California. Initially active from 1982 to 1991, the band reformed at the Thrash of the Titans benefit concert for Chuck Billy in 2001.
Death Angel was formed in San Francisco, California, in 1982 by cousins Rob Cavestany (lead guitar), Dennis Pepa (vocals, bass), Gus Pepa (rhythm guitar), and Andy Galeon (drums). After considering a number of different names for the band, including “Dark Fury,” Cavestany and D. Pepa settled on the name “Death Angel” after coming across a book by that title in a book store. In 1983, the band released their first demo, Heavy Metal Insanity, with Matt Wallace serving as producer. According to Mark Osegueda, the group was then “more like a metal band, more like Iron Maiden, Tygers Of Pan Tang and stuff like that,” as the so-called Bay Area thrash movement was only just beginning to rise to prominence at the time, and make its influence felt. Osegueda, a second cousin of the other four members who had been working as their roadie, became the group’s vocalist in 1984 and performed his first show with the band on a bill with Megadeth in April of that year (at one of the four Megadeth gigs to feature Kerry King on guitar).
http://www.deathangel.com/
Death Angel continued to play club gigs in and around the San Francisco Bay area for nearly 2 years, writing songs and refining their stage show. In 1986, the band recorded the Kill As One demo with Metallica’s Kirk Hammett (whom they had met at a record store signing in 1983) as producer. Due to the underground tape trading wave of the early 1980s, the demo was distributed extensively and brought the band to the attention of a still-wider audience; Osegueda later recalled that prior to the release of the band’s first album, “we were playing in L.A. and New York, and the crowd was singing our songs, because there was this underground tape trading….That’s what keeps it alive, and I think that’s absolutely wonderful.
http://www.myspace.com/deathangel
The success of Kill As One led to a record deal with Enigma Records, who released Death Angel’s debut album, The Ultra-Violence, in 1987. The band recorded the album when all the band members were still under 20 years old, and the album sold 40,000 copies in just four months. A video was filmed for “Voracious Souls,” a song about a band of cannibals, but it never aired on MTV due to the nature of the lyrics. The group released the follow-up album Frolic Through The Park in 1988, which spawned the single “Bored” (which was also used in the 1990 movie Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III), the video for which did receive regular airplay on MTV’s Headbanger’s Ball. Frolic featured more diverse material than the straightforward thrash of the first album; the album included a cover of Kiss’s “Cold Gin,” and the relatively light, playful “Bored” was written under the seemingly unlikely influence of U2, and the guitar playing of The Edge in particular. The band toured worldwide for the first time and found notable success in Japan, selling out 2 full Japanese tours.

LoDeck- Rude ft. Alaska

January 24th, 2010 4 comments

Lyrics: (dont know if all right, put it up myself)

LoDeck
This is more ironic then getting
fucked over by virgin records
or beating woman with
alanis morissette instrumentals
its like getting jacked for
your lucky pack of menthols (Weee!)
or writing a suicide note on your forehead
while blowing out half the face off before hand
i left pink bunny slippers
on a paralyzed mans door mat
to teach luck a lesson
while bumpin Ain’t Know Half Steppin
ill stab you with border officials
just to smuggle in weapons
—dam your stupid
I kill beats even if I loop em
Truthful to hoes even before i scoop them (Sup bitch)
i tell em i but i will never call
i got a vendetta with you all
Dont tell me ill blow up
i hate doing what im told (wha?)
Girls that play their part
will get it in their hole

Alaska
my catalogs, contain chains whips
and cattle prods. leather restraints
asphyxiated to your faints
scriptures written in paint
prophetic mosaic
leave pathetic flows sedated
ill take away your mouth
like a agent in the matrix
im no angel but i make trips to heaven
write a masterpiece in seven
—remain anonymous
train for dominance
im Felix Trinidad beat you so bad
think Tims your dad
Im Joe Stein Burg
i put my soul in rhyme words
time serves to remind the lines blurred
in your mind, revisionist
vision with the twisted viciousness
i exist to twist i mix up with
say my name backwards
five times in the mirror
ill appear and tear a hook through
your interior, cause your inferior

The reason im moody?
Fuck it im rude
The reason im rude
even though half the time im subdued
the way im subdued
is a paranoid existence
and the reason im moody
is nothing but occupational instance

the reason im silent?
well most people are dicks
the reason that most people are dicks
is because the world is shit
even though the world is shit
all i can do is exist
so the reason im silent?
im just one of those dicks

(Hmm..) Stop!
and walk half the world
in mechanical shoes.
wingless planes. Oh My Gawd!(?)
If it was any other day
i would be sick Rotten!
just because today cause
im a MC, thats glutton
i dislike writing
cause humans got to like sumthin
and i dont like…tuna…crab salad
(and i dont like finger painting)
Im tired and antisocial
except for the wrong moments
United States is corny
but i love burgers
Politics is for bullshit artist
rock the voters with clumps of garbage
(Ahhhh!)
id love to make one party join and
disappear like Lucas
with the lid off with tears of fears
yes its the hit off
to bad im addicted to taking the
progress pre-predicted
eventually we might be as smart as insects
in two billion years
sex and death will
be a thing of instance (Oh Well)
in my imagination your all figments
of sickness and style
phone cable voice projection
non-pretentious unless you dont
fit into my next sentence…
a word is a word, is an extra paint
source like an appendix
a poltergeist knocking inside some one pregnant
my eye sockets a filled with clear jelly
its obvious i fry a little cod piece
kamikaze, crash into a junk yard
full of rusty gaggle
when i die cut off my head
cause i dont trust nobody

the reason im silent?
well most people are dicks
the reason that most people are dicks
is because the world is shit
even though the world is shit
all i can do is exist
so the reason im silent?
im just one of those dicks

The reason im moody?
Fuck it im rude
The reason im rude even though
half the time im subdued
the way im subdued
is a paranoid existence
and the reason im moody is
nothing but occupational instance
(Yes!)

(Meaa…)

(Wicked)
