my first poll!

since Hekseri are such a major entity

YOU DECIDE!
Which Celtic Frost cover should Hekseri do?
(don't you dare list anything off 'Cold Lake' or even 'Into the Pandemonium', only shit off 'Morbid Tales' OR 'EMPOROR'S RETURN' will qualify as 'Other' . . . I gotta draw the line SOMEWHERE!)

the whole lotta love of death metal ha

I just voted Jewel Throne, because it combines thrash and doom

procreation of the wicked!

i'd say THE USURPER but High on Fire already covers it

abhorred said:

NO!

Sepultura did that, and we all know what that band turned into

'Dethroned Emporor' is another commonly covered track (I think Vital Remains did it?)

litacore said:

did they??....haha...nice...we cover that song

do babylon fell from into the pandemonium. or inner sanctum. those are classic CF style songs.

uh-oh, Into the Pandemonium, with its house music

ugh, picture if you will, 1986, larissa at age 16, having just gnashed her teeth on 'To Mega Therion' for a year

the first CD she buys is INTO THE PANDEMONIUM. Half the songs are . . . listenable. Then . . . electronic music.

no comparison. I refuse to re-purchase that CD again, out of general principle.

but then again, Celtic Frost were known as 'avant garde'

I wish they could have experimented with heaviness instead

I haven't even given a listen to anything besides morbid tales and to mega therion

I guess I should just stay ignorant

I forgot to burn you their 'early demos' CD. good shit.

Maybe I'm just being over-emotional about 'Pandemonium'. But how else can I convey my disappointment with it as a follow-up to 'To mega"?

case in point: VOIVOD followed 'Killing Technology' up with 'Dimension Hatross'. Beyond that, they screwed the pooch, but everything up to 'Dimension", *sigh* great metal!

I picked Jewel Throne because i want to cover The Usurper

Theres enough CF covers for everyone

but but but.....

cover Endtyme by Cathedral......just bust out the whole album Ha

Lets do jewel throne

But first, I say lets perfect fuckin don't burn the goddamn witch

booyah! that works for me!
DBTW is such a sick song--bring the lyrics if ya have 'em!

I got em all down pretty much I just sometimes get blond and fuck things up a little here, and there

Its different when "singing" along to cronos' distinctive voice and then pulling it off perfectly yourself

That song is one of my favorites= very, very sick

hahahaha

eye of lizard
wing of bat
testicle of man
tongue of eagle
brain of rat
Jesus Christ's left hand!

Which hellhammer CDs do you have larissa?

I only have satanic rites

litacore said:

Whooooooooaaaaaaaaa

I have Apocalyptic Raids and the double CD of their demos--I think there'd be some overlap with Satanic Rites, but fuckit. I have like 400 blank CDs right now/

I almost like hellhammer more than celtic frost

Really? I gotta keep a lookout for those early Sodom demos on CD, 'Sins of Sodom', I'll bet they're sloppy as a soggy burrito

Ive got celtic frost live bootleg from to mega therion era

Remember I said "almost", but yeah

I think hellhammer had a very venom-ish sound going

Celtic frost had a sound unlike anything else at all, very innovative
simple guitar playing for the most part, but awesome

on the back of my CD it says
'Venom are killing music, Hellhammer are killing Venom'

Christraper said:

Is it awesome?

no it sucks wicked bad because celtic frost is gay. of course its awsome its celtic frost live.

shoot me now

I see a motherfucking LA Guns shirt under that jacket

noted

wise ass.

raper of christ

should I read that book 'are you morbid'

are you morbid is one of the best books ive ever read

paganmegan said:
you love it

are you morbid will make you hate tom warrior even more. he talks about hellhammer for maybe three pages. it focuses more on making up excuses for cold lake.

making excuses for flushing awesome metal down the shitter?

I'd want to hear about hellhammer not about the amount of hairspray he used causing him to lose his marbles

yeah I heard it's verily DRENCHED with cold lake, and bitching about Noise Records

What a princess

paganmegan said:

you'd probably get more info from the liner notes of the Hellhammer demos CD, I'll bring it

sweet

its definitely true about the cold lake and noise records bullshit but its still a good read for all the stories about them on the road

and it's JEWEL THRONE, by a corpse-painted nose!

we'll have to get right on that

DBTW is first though, I gotta get the verse chugging down and make that chorus riff a little less pedantic

We'll do the gallopy pick attack on the chorus and tighten up the verse
and I need to perfect the solo

Hekseri talks shop for all the world to see!

W00t!

I NEED A TUBE AMP TUBE AMP TUBE AMP

MARSHALL MARSHALL MARSHALL MARSHALL

JCM900

NOTED

I could also use a noise suppressor that isn't a pain in the proverbial balls

or the JCM2000 100W DSL if you can't find the other

avoid the JCM2000 100W TSL, I found the controls way too complicated. More bells and whistles means more shit can malfunction.

paganmegan said:

you might want a rackmounted dBx Noise Gate / Compressor unit instead

So JCM900 is your top recommendation?

do the cover that has the drummer........

Josh_hates_you said:

Steven Priestly or Reed St. Mark?

paganmegan said:

FUCK YEAH

alright

The crate is gonna get SOLD

let's try switching 'em sometime, see if you like it for real

me, I love the JCM onboard distortion, it is the shizz-NICE!

I don't mind the crate, it just lacks a certain BALLS that your amp has for sure
I also need a volume pedal to differentiate between solos and rythm, I don't want to drown you out, or not have the leads heard

or

so what do you think, volume pedal or pickup booster or both?

I think the pickup booster would be easier to control

dunno, I think you should try both out in the store then pick between

I want the Morley, because it has a Minimum Volume setting, no more guesswork for me

If you want something to boost your solos try the Tube Screamer. It doesnt sound like much on its own but when you turn it on over your regular distortion it boosts it way up and give it a great worm tone for soloing.

Thanks

I'm compiling a list of "to trys" for my next trip to guitar center

hurry up and get a drummer so you can do shows !

We're working on it

hopefully soon, we are making progress on that front

incase i didnt say it in the last post, the MP3s sound good, even though i hate Black Metal !

Well, we're not exclusively black metal

Thanks, at any rate

out of curiosity, how many bands have covered circle of tyrants?

opeth
pro-pain
others?

i'd say the trooper might be a more covered song...
it'd be close

I haven't yet heard Dokaka do a Celtic Frost cover. We should petition him over in Japan.

No please, no more dokaka

The dokaka in existence is mind boggling enough

HELLHAMMER > CELTIC FROST by a few hairs at least.

ITP is a good album though.

I voted "Jewel Throne", cause a bunch of bands have done the other 2.

obituary

the only good jcms: the 800 and 900.

2000s can suck my bum.

yeah, the 2000s don't compare really

our mission is for a 900 and the destructo-beam

the destructo-beam can be accomplished with the addition of a bbe sonic maximizer and a hush super c.

litacore said:YOU NEED TO COVER VISUAL AGGRESSION

good suggestion. great song.

Obituary did Circle Of the Tyrants. Poorly I might add. I always liked Eternal Summer, because its got a great "haaaaaaaayyyyy" right near the end.

Larissa, I listened to the mp3s. Completely brutal shit. Im impressed. Is that drum machine on the demo?

Christraper said:

I second the tube screamer. An old bandmate of mine ran the tube screamer with his Marshall JCM 800s (not just for solos....always) and the sound was just incredible. It boosts the natural distortion just enough to give it major meat and overall tone. Try to get one of the classic re-issue ones.

\m/ CHERRY ORCHARDS \m/

Seriously, I went with Jewel Throne.

skullet said:

i'm going to check out the tube screamer, but I am leaning towards getting an equalizer pedal to turn on just during solos , for cut through, not extra volume or gain. Very soon I am going to purchase some manner of a tube amp because working with a solid state is kind of a handicap, at least for brutal metal

skullet said:

HAILS Randy how are ya bro!

yeah, that's a drum machine. Start calling us Godflesh if we're not careful!

nah, seriously, we're making considerable progress on the drummer front finally. So hopefully we'll be brutalizing by Spring.

YES!!!

My dream of a Hekseri/Hexeri/Abhorred tour is finally attainable!

No, hexerei are gonna be too busy playing with jaded and lacuna coil at locobazooka and maybe even trauma concept and wretched asylum


we'll never be lucky enough to be graced by their nu metal presence

i suppose you're right

i'll just have to settle for my cardboard cut out of their singer, and pretend he signed my grundle

I had a five-way with all the members of Jaded...
















































.....not really.
