CRADLE OF FILTH - MIDIAN

Cradle of Filth was basically dropped into my lap during high school. An old friend of mine used to get free promotional CD's that would feature random songs from seemingly random CD's. For example, a CD would feature a song by NIN, and then maybe Kittie, just random. So whenever he'd pick them up he would always grab me one, so I was just listening to one and Suddenly this song came on, and it was fuckin crazy, and until that point, I've never really heard anything quite like it. That song was "Cthulhu Dawn" and ever since I've been hooked on C.O.F. They are hard as fuckin hell. Midian is loosely based on a book called Cabal by Clive Barker, in which a young man named Boone is suffering from an unspecified mental illness. Although this is not serious enough to institutionalize him, he is nonetheless seeing a psychiatrist named Decker. To his horror, Boone is informed by Decker during one session that he, Boone, is responsible for the brutal mutilation murders of eleven people that have terrorized the city recently. Boone is informed that he does not recall these horrors because his mind has blanked them out of his consciousness. Before he loses all hope, Boone begins to believe salvation may lie in a place called Midian, a semi-mythical city that offers sanctuary to monsters — both the human kind and otherwise. He hurriedly sets off to seek Midian without realizing the full truth of the insidious events that lead him to such a decision. So with all that in mind, I think you owe it to yourself to not only check out this amazing album from Cradle of Filth but also go to your nearest book store and pick yourself up a copy of Clive Barkers' Cabal.

WINDIR - 1184

I stumbled upon Windir awhile back, and this was when I was really getting into Black Metal. Windir was my introduction to Viking Metal or Folk Metal. It's an interesting genre, It's like if metal existed in 1184. Black Metal with mythology based Vocals and with the rhythm belonging to that of a ancient Norwegian folk song... bizarre, and completely fucking badass. As is often the case in black metal bands it was the project of one man, Terje "Valfar" Bakken. The band broke up when Valfar died of hypothermia amidst the hills of Sogndal on January 14, 2004. Many of Windir's lyrics are written in the archaic local dialect Sognamål, of Sogn, Norway (In the early Viking Age Sogn was a petty kingdom). See, where else can you get a great metal album and a history lesson? This album may very well change any negative thoughts you may have against Black Metal (if you have an open mind).

WRESTLER OF THE WEEK!

So this weeks W.O.T.W is a personal favorite of mine, and has been for a very long time, you could probably say he IS my favorite wrestler. I'm talking about the Homicidal, Genocidal, SUICIDAL SABU!!! This dude is a monster, stopping at nothing to win a match and putting everything on the line (including his own body and well being) to win a match. Every match is a War. I remember the very first time I watched a SABU match, it was the infamous "Stairway To Hell" ladder match against the SANDMAN. It was a very violent and captivating match, but one that engraved in me the impression that SABU can simply not be stopped, after a move that went FUBAR, SABU hit his jaw on the metal security rail, breaking it. He simply grabbed some athletic tape and wrapped it around his head (Im guessing to keep his jaw from flopping around) and continued the fuckin match! WHAT?! A FUCKIN BROKEN JAW AND THE DUDE KEEPS GOING! I was a fan ever since. He is the only dude I know who could receive a gash in his bicep (during another legendary barbed wire match with TERRY FUNK) and again, grab some tape to keep it shut until the match was over (a wound that would require more than 100 stitches... which he received from a foot doctor by the way). During most of his years he never talked, he never cut a promo or said anything, which just added to that insane mystique that Sabu had about him, some say he was the one that brought tables to hardcore wrestling. No matter what happened, he just kept going... and he's still going (even though the assholes over at the WWE thought it would be cool to release him, fuckin cunts). He is a legend in the states, he is a legend worldwide, he is SABU! I had the honor of meeting SABU at the Gathering Of The Juggalos 2005 and he was cool as hell. There has never been another Sabu, and there never will be. So here's to you SABU! You are the shit! You are my favorite wrestler and YOU are the WRESTLER OF THE WEEK!

-This is that first match I saw, between Sabu and The Sandman. Just watch and see why I admire and look up to Sabu.

"Stairway to Hell"

"Backmasking is a recording technique in which a sound or message is recorded backwards onto a track that is meant to be played forwards..."

While recently searching for some videos on youtube I found this and it made me think. Backmasking has been telling people to do drugs and worship Satan since fanatical religious groups and bored stoned teenagers started to play records backwards, could this all just be coincidence? Or is it actually what it is, a reversed hidden message? Weird? Sure. But you'll have to draw your on conclusion. So watch it and tell me what you think. BACKMASKING: FACT OR FICTION?! Who knows...

PUNK-O-MATIC!

This is just a cool game I found one day just doing a random search. You click and drag and make your own Punk songs (in the vein of NOFX and Bad Religion). It is a great way to kill time belive me, and you can create some pretty cool punk songs.

Samurai Wisdom II

"It is said that even after one's head has been cut off, he can still perform some function. This fact can be known from the examples of Nitta Yoshisada and Ono Doken. How shall one man be inferior to another? Mitani Jokyu said, "Even if a man be sick to death, he can bear up for two or three days."

SAMHAIN - INITIUM

When Glenn Danzig left the legendary Misfits in 1983 he went on to form another legendary band, and that band my friends is Samhain. Samhain is an edgier Misfits if that makes any sense, it is darker and has more of a menacing mood to it. What a way to depart from the Misfits, and anyone expecting another Misfits album shouldnt. I was completely overwhelmed when I first heard this amazing album, and being a long time Misfits fan, it was a welcome suprise that just made me appreciate the music of Danzig even more. So check this out. and remember to buy it after you do.

ZOMBI 2 REVIEW

A Zombie is found aboard an abandoned boat off the New York coast which belongs to do a famous scientist. Peter West, a journalist, hears of the disappearance and heads to the boat to snoop around, where he inadvertently meets Ann, the daughter of the lost scientist who is also snooping around the boat for any clues that might lead her to her missing father. The duo travel to the Antilles to find out what happened to Ann's missing father and get any other information they can. They meet Brian, a ethnologist, and Susan, his "lady friend", who offer them a ride to the Island of Matu (the last known whereabouts of the missing scientist). When they arrive at Matu Island they find Dr. Menard who is searching for the cause and cure of a recent epidemic of a strange virus that is "bringing the dead back to life". They all too soon realize that this epidemic is more than any of them anticipated. Is it science or Island Voodoo? Will Peter get his story or more than he bargained for? Will Ann find her father? Will they all make it out alive?! This is the fuckin movie that introduced me to Lucio Fulci and I absolutely love it! A classic among zombie flicks, this one goes above and beyond most. Zombi 2 (known in the US as Zombie) is Lucio Fulci's loosely based sequel to Zombi (which is actually the Italian title of George A. Romero's' Dawn Of The Dead). Featuring some of the most gruesome and gory scenes I have ever seen in a Zombie movie, it's an amazing spectacle of bloody gleeful mayhem that die hard Gore Hounds crave! You ever want to see a zombie fight a shark? It's in here. Ever wonder what it would look like to see a woman get her throat ripped out by an undead flesh eater? It's all here. A great movie by the "Godfather of Gore" himself Lucio Fulci. This movie looks amazing, great cinematography, a perfect, haunting soundtrack that really drives the movie and brings the terror on home. If you're a horror fan than you should really do yourself a favor and watch this movie! Get it now! I give it 5 out of 5 stabs to the fuckin' dome!

WRESTLER OF THE WEEK!

When thinking of who could possibly be this weeks WRESTLER OF THE WEEK, it didn't take long for the next W.O.T.W to pop into my head. A DVD I ordered awhile back finally came, The legendary King Of The Deathmatch Tournament, Japan, 1995. After watching in awe (I haven't seen it for years) the choice was obvious. CACTUS JACK! You are the WRESTLER OF THE WEEK!! Some might be wondering why I didn't just say Mick Foley to cover all bases, but I think CACTUS JACK did a lot of things that MANKIND never did, and the same is to be said about MANKIND, hell, even DUDE LOVE had his moments, but right now I want to focus on CACTUS JACK. Was he a glutton for punishment? Maybe, he certainly has had some of the most memorable matches I have ever seen and holy shit could he work the mic. I really don't like the term "spot wrestler" or to say that they seem to lack general wrestling ability, they can just take obscene damage and dish out the same, CACTUS JACK was different. He made you feel something, he could make you laugh your ass off and then make you madder than hell and he was a pretty good wrestler as well. He is a HARDCORE LEGEND! You knew that when you watched a CACTUS JACK match that you weren't going to be disappointed. I genuinely put a lot of thought into this, wrestling has always been something I've been into, and people give it shit, but they can kiss my ass. It's either in you or it's not, you either love and respect it or you don't. CACTUS JACK had love for the business and for the fans that most other wrestlers did not, and still don't. He cared about putting on a great show and in the end he always made sure that the fans knew that he appreciated them just as much. So this is for you, CACTUS JACK! YOU ARE THE WRESTLER OF THE WEEK, YOU HARDCORE SON OF A BITCH! (and I mean that in the best of ways, Thank You).

-So here is the legendary match Between Cactus Jack and Terry Funk to determine the "King of the Deathmatch" from the '95 Tournament, this match is a barbed wire/explosion match!
