Ed Gein's Car - Making Dick Dance (1984)

Ed Gein's Car, brilliant. Releasing their LP in 1984, the same year notorious serial killer Ed Gein died of cancer. Within weeks Ed Gein's Car were kicked out and banned from every single bar they played at in the outskirts of New York so they moved to New York City to infect the 'Big Apple' with their witty hardcore/punk assault. They were regulars and a favorite at legendary CBGB's. If it's good enough for CBGB's, it should be good enough for you, fucker.

Ultra//Negative - Finally I'm At Peace (2011)

Okay, so here we have your standard album cover...you know the type, black & white with a brutalized baby face that looks like it was born with a pipe bomb in it's skull. It's a rare condition...that happens to no one.

You may already have got the idea that this band just spews negativity and thrives on entropy. Oh, and their name is Ultra//Negative. Fast and furious jams that span for an entirety of 8.5 minutes of pissed off hardcore, sludgened power violence (©).

Do not fucking watch this if you are not at least a little bit desensitized and or depraved. It's basically a one minute snuff flick. I only post this because I got a laugh out of the bands Facebook status "ULTRA//NEGATIVE MUSIC VIDEO. Watch before it's banned by youtube"
(I watched it, pussy)

Antediluvian - Through The cervix of Hawaah (2011)

Holy fuck. Through The cervix of Hawqah is fucking it man. I know I already jumped the gun early in the year by calling Mitochondrion's Parasignosis album of the year, but I can at least assure that both of these will at least make it on my top 5 for 2011.

After hearing their EP Revelations in Excrement I was expecting great things from Antediluvian.
They took those expectations of mine and beat me over the cerebrum for a solid 36 minutes.

Cloudkicker - Loop & Let Yourself Be Huge (2011)

Ben sharp is Cloudkicker. Together they rule. Here are two new Cloudkicker releases that deviate away from the signature Cloudkicker sound. If I'm being honest, I probably wouldn't pay much heed to these albums if they were not created under the Cloudkicker banner.
I respect Ben Sharp as a musician and appreciate all his latter efforts, so I'm giving these both a fair chance. Mainly post-rock in it's sound with very little to do with metal. I need to listen more. I have no doubt these will probably grow on me.

Blasphemophagher - The III Command of the Absolute Chaos (2011)

Yep, once again Blasphemophagher offers your ear holes an unholy onslaught, chalked with bible spitting and altar vomiting. I have listened to this album all day today, those Jehovah Witness's are lucky they didn't knock on my door because I would of dick punched the bullshit out of them.

Band Q&A week

Greetings travelers of Severed Heads Open Minds,


Over the next couple of weeks I am going to be doing interviews with some gnarly bands! Some that have new material on the way and some that have already released new material, but all of them rule. Follow the fuck out of this blog from now on, set as homepage, show it to your grandmother and most importantly spread the word, or else a nun will die.

Always hunting for continual participation. (contact at: chris_dalessandro@hotmail.com)
