Whilst my friend was flicking through a magazine they spotted this band name and were sufficiently amused to announce it to all of us present. I'm glad they did, because it is some of the best punked up metal I have heard in quite some time.Hailing from Oslo, Norway and featuring members of The Cumshots and Emperor including Faust on drums. He once stabbed a man. Cool guy. This is their second full length after forming only last year, an impressive feat for something which is more of a side project than a full time band.
They play a dirty and dumb style of punk rock heavily influenced by thrash metal, so pretty much my ideal style of music. I usually go through phases of really getting into a particular genre but punk was my first love, and the one I can always go back to. To see a band mix hardcore punk with metal so well is a delight.
One quick glance at the track listing will let you know that this band don't take themselves all that seriously. With song titles like "Broken Cock" and "Wheelchair Hooker" you better look elsewhere if you want some political insight or philosophical musings, this band are about being as fun and un-PC as possible. Not that it matters to them one bit, as guitarist Pete Evil puts it, "We can't start a band called Mongo Ninja and be a serious band anyway."
To see a band from the homeland of deadly serious kvlt black metal not give a fuck and play songs with a sense of humour is refreshing. Hail Satan for bands like this that can put a smile on my face.
