Off The Hook and Actual Pain 06/02/10

Greetings. We are now selling to this great shop called Off the Hook in Montreal. Their order is in the mail and should be there this week...

Check out this interview we did with them over at their blog. 

You know what I forgot to mention? The last time I was in Montreal was with Watain from Sweden and our show got canceled because they were killing pigeons in the parking lot with slingshots and, I shit you not, they had a box with a stick holding up a corner and a string attached to it with bread crumbs under the box so when the pigeons would go under the box to eat the crumbs, they'd pull the string trapping the bird. It was like a black metal Bugs Bunny cartoon. The fucked up part is that it actually worked pretty well.

They needed the pigeons for their blood. They tried to buy some crusties dog but they weren't selling.

Restocks 05/26/10

We restocked John the Bastard, Eyeorborus, and Batanix in tees and tanks because they sold out so fast. This will be your last chance to get these designs, once they're gone they're gone for good. Click here to go to the shop!

Darkthrone "Circle the Wagons" out today 04/05/10

Darkthrone sail against the tides of trend and disposable metal; uncompromising and defiant as ever – an ideology expanded upon by Fenriz when explaining the meaning behind the title:

“The new metal decade starts with our album. It is a message to the Invaders of our metal domain to circle their wagons!!!

With our own brand of heavy metal/speed metal-punk we are a constant ambush on the modern overground metal traitors. Join us in our fight against instant gratification…. and let’s see who stands when the smoke clears…

Album by album we gnaw away at the overwhelming mass of so-called raw metal out there – well, the only time i saw something raw wrapped in plastic was when it was DEAD meat. And so in the long run, all raw bands with old raw sound WINS – and your plastic paradise instant gratification sound vanishes with time".
DIE HARD! “I HATE, THEREFORE I AM” – Fenriz

Artwork for the album comes once again courtesy of Dennis Dread, notable for his talents on previous Darkthrone albums, Fuck Off & Die and 2008’s Dark Thrones and Black Flags, as well as for US greats, Abscess.

Tracklist:
Those Treasures Will Never Befall You
Running For Borders
I Am The Graves Of The 80s
Stylized Corpse
Circle The Wagons
Black Mountain Totem
I Am The Working Class
Eyes Burst At Dawn

The Evil Dead Tonight 02/06/10

So stoked for this midnight movie.

I’ll never forget when I met Bruce Campbell at the King Dome for a Q13 kid’s fair when I was 12. He was in town doing a signing to promote his new Fox TV show Brisco County Jr, and everyone there good give a rat’s ass. There were dorks galore, with paper mache chainsaws chanting, “Ash!”, over and over again to a B movie actor in a cowboy costume, on a makeshift riser, in the King Dome, surrounded by 12 and 30 year old virgins, and carnival rides. My Mom gave me and my friend Charlie a ride there, and she waited in line with us for an hour or so (thanks mom!). It was getting late and Bruce Campbell’s manager announced to all the ravenous nerds that he would stay to the end and sign all the autographs. “Ash! Ash! Ash!”

We finally climbed the steps onto the five foot riser where Bruce Campbell sat at a folding table, dressed as cowboy, signing autographs on a stack of glossy 8 X 10s of him and a horse. Nervously, I waited as my Mom got an autograph then my friend Charlie, then I go to get my ad for “Army of Darkness” torn from a Marvel Comic autographed when I hear a loud crash and scream from the side of the stage, my mom had stumbled and fell backwards onto the ground.

Bruce Campbell raced over and helped her up along with his manager who had been talking to some other official looking people my mother was now lying next to. I was mortified. Beyond embarrassed. By the time we got to the parking lot it was hilarious and has been ever since.

Tonight at midnight at the Egyptian: THE EVIL DEAD
