GOD IS DEAD


Ever since the Chuck Biscuits hoax back in October I've been withholding emotion whenever news of death flares up on the internet. Unfortunately, this time, it seems the rumors are true. Lord Petrus Steele (aka, Petrus T. Ratajczyk, aka, Pete Steele) was confirmed dead yesterday at age 48 evidently due to heart failure. In case the photo above didn't ring any bells, Steele was the bassist and towering 6' 7" frontman for legendary Thermonuclear Crossover act CARNIVORE. I had the supreme (cough cough) pleasure of witnessing Carnivore at The Ritz in NYC back in 1988 and Steele commanded the stage like a hulking Gulag sergeant. The throngs of skinheads in attendance clearly didn't get the memo that his lyrics were largely satirical and when the band launched into 'Race War' it seemed as though Steele's prophetic declaration was about to come true: "EVERYBODY'S GONNA DIE!!!!!" Incidentally, skinheads seem to miss a lot of memos. Like the local anti-racist thug who tried to pick a fight with me a few weeks ago while I was out shopping with my daughter. Or the Aryan Nation clown on the public bus who tried to hand me his business card. But I digress. In addition to releasing two of the funniest and most inflammatory NYHC albums of the 80's and flashing his cock in the pages of Playgirl magazine, Steele also penned the lyrics for Agnostic Front's Cause For Alarm LP (the controversial lyrics to 'Public Assistance' being echoed a few years later in 'Der Untermensch'). He later went on to enjoy a relatively successful career with TYPE O NEGATIVE, who played music your girlfriend probably dances to in the shower. When it comes to purgative revenge fantasy, ugly self-loathing and ol' fashioned hatred, very few will ever rival the blunt intensity of his malignant wit. This weekend be sure to eat the brains from your enemy's skull in memory of Pete Steele. The world is now a smaller, wimpier place.

MIX TAPE!

The dignified headbangers at TODESTRIEB RECORDS in the UK have requested a playlist for their awesome monthly podcast feature! I was charged with creating a ten-song mix tape suitable for a night of drawing. I decided not to take the easy road with a bunch of pandering metal songs so hopefully you will be exposed to some new sounds. Enjoy!
