It's a good little piece, but it skips two things I would have mentioned. The first is the story of Nicolò Paganini, who in his time had a sort of proto-Robert-Johnson myth surrounding him, and less forgivably, occult-themed hard rock acts like Coven. Coven is the missing link between Sympathy for the Devil and Black Sabbath. In fact, they had a song called "Black Sabbath," as well as a bassist named Greg "Oz" Ozbourne (Which is not the same thing as Ozzy Osbourne). Musically, they're typical of psychodelic California bands of the time. If Led Zeppelin, with its heavy guitar blues songs about vikings, is proto-metal, then Coven is proto-proto-metal. But their album art was pure fucking metal: Incidentally, Coven is credited with introducing the sign of the horns to rock music, which is quite a brag. In a similar vein, but of more recent vintage is The Devil's Blood, from the Netherlands: Sadly, they appear to have disbanded after a brief, but brilliant career. "Jefferson airplane but about Satan" was the pithy version I heard once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Squarehead Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Going through the thirty odd pages of this thread is proving to be a lot of fun! Having a hard time figuring out if this thread is actually for terrible music though (the superb song in the first post strongly suggests not), anyhow here's the song that ruined Theresa May's day: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oedipus Wreckx-n-Effect Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 This post is mainly for @Collimatrix, because he's never heard much of Omar Rodriguez. I'm a huge fan of At The Drive In and The Mars Volta (And hell, some of Omar's solo work too). Here's a sampling of his insanity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoooSeR Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 @Sturgeon, @Collimatrix, this is really cool lecture/presentation from Mick about his work on DooM soundtrack, he goes in details and shows some of his experiments with sound/music during his work for ID Software.

True, but Colli is also a ball of ironic detachment so tightly wound that it produces a sort of black hole of affected prose. So it's not surprising that this concept becomes an ouroboros to him.

You end up memorizing small personal details about the posters, and thus get drawn inextricably into the web, and feel reluctant to ever leave because of all the effort you've put in. You learn that @Oedipus Wreckx-n-Effect's blood type is O negative, and that @Tekky is insecure about his height and athletic prowess and will do anything to improve, including getting hit in the face with a volleyball for two minutes straight, that @LostCosmonaut loves cats even though they continuously bite him, and that @Toxn ghost-wrote S.M. Stirling's Draka series. Soon, you feel like you really know these people and that you owe them some sort of reciprocal hospitality. Then, before you know it, I'm sleeping on your couch, demanding that you cook me dinner and give me rides in old WWII airplanes, like I did to @T___A that one time.

Putting on my necro-psychologist's hat; I think your issues stem from your sublimated desire for your chosen psychopomp to release you from the crawling hell that is undeath.
