NO MORE WHINE. NO MORE WHINE. currently envisioning vocalist as frustrated bogan mother in checkout que at highpoint.

OH COME ON HOW MANY TIMES CAN YOU JUST WHACK THE OPEN STRINGS AND EXPECT TO CALL IT A RIFF
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 8 Aug 10
seriously though what do singers in these sorts of bands do on their downtime? Can't sit around writing about stripping bones all day.
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 8 Aug 10
8 am breakfast, 9am work, 12pm lunch, 5:30 prepare dinner, strip bones (silence, while I), 6pm, 'friends' marathon on arena
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 8 Aug 10
if I wrote for pitchdork I'd defs be talking about the guitar effect on the start of skin coat sounding like eviscerated gore or something.
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 8 Aug 10
but I don't.

what's like wet bile? Is there such a thing as dry bile?
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 8 Aug 10
seriously I can't imagine this guy sitting there with a cup of ginger tea for his throat going 'like...WET bile! aha! got it guys!'
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 8 Aug 10
grimm-ger tea? Nah I'm not that desperate for jokes to pad this shit out. Yet.

#Iwearmyhumanshield. Oh yeah brohemian rhapsody, I've been there heh heh heh
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 8 Aug 10
man I so should've used that as a come on line when I first met Allie. Hey baby, can I crawl inside yr human shield?
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 8 Aug 10
SEXY DOOM
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 8 Aug 10
actually this is crossing the line from parody to erotic #thingsididntwanttoknowaboutmyself
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 8 Aug 10
man I know you're all messed up serial killer doom vocalist guy and everything but you know who else does 'creepy' vocals? Korn.

"that snare roll was out of time and no amount of grimm reverb will hide it!" - khanate drummer cries out in anguish
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 8 Aug 10
grimmverb.
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 8 Aug 10
it creates an illusion of space. Like in an empty warehouse where singer can strip bone and crawl inside human shield. GRIMMVERB.
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 8 Aug 10
10:37 mark in 'under rotting sky'...'they just make it up as they go along! I can do that!'
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 8 Aug 10
it's not exactly a fast song dude. You could have fitted an 'is' in between 'sky' and 'empty'.
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 8 Aug 10
'no joy'? no shit!
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 8 Aug 10
was that another real fadeout or just a fake one?
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 8 Aug 10
okay it was real this time.
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 8 Aug 10
on to things viral. Pete loaned me this record when we were starting whitehorse and I was like 'this band is a joke...right?'
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 8 Aug 10
ambient sonic explorations + 2 inch computer speakers. Not a good combination for that full analog deep space odyssey #hailtheskull
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 8 Aug 10
dude's voice is deeper on this record? #obviouspubertyjoke
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 8 Aug 10
amidst fracture prose that sounds like it's been mangled by a translating program: 'no good times in here'. Lost it.
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 8 Aug 10
no good times here? No shit dude.
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 8 Aug 10
dude was in a band called SHADOWCAST?!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Dubin I know it's not the *real* one but fuck...
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 8 Aug 10
hey it said truth is CHANGED, not change. Way to ruin my fucking joke songmeanings.com
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 8 Aug 10
starting to get worried about that lump on my hip. Ingrown hair or RED RED INFECTED 1 2 3 RED REEEDDDDDDDD?
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 8 Aug 10
I was gonna make fun of the bit crushed vocals but I actually really like this bit.
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 8 Aug 10
hey drummer: Boris want their 'lead drums' back. Ah that's better, back in the saddle!
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 8 Aug 10
gone! Not gone! RED!
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 8 Aug 10
dude really loves red. He just said it. 'that's what I love'. RED.
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 8 Aug 10
man I'm glad they ended that song at 19 minutes and 14 seconds. Anything more than like, 19:15, and I was gonna skip forward
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 8 Aug 10
if I had a dollar for every open low string SOMA had played in his career to date, I could almost afford the shipping on southernlord vinyls
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 8 Aug 10
droning feedback make me go sleepy time. why you wake me up with same drum beat you play on all song?
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 8 Aug 10
I feel like this is subject matter that was already covered in the Anthrax classic 'potters field', sorry Dubin
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 8 Aug 10
so this song is about research into the afterlife by killing someone and burying them and getting them to 'tell me what it's like' yeah?
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 9 Aug 10
seriously I know paraspychology is a fringe 'science' at best but who would peer review that shit?
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 9 Aug 10
you did this for me? Aww, that's nice.
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 9 Aug 10
oh come on that's the dopesmoker riff. I'M ON TO YOU O'MALLEY.
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 9 Aug 10
a song that clocks in under ten minutes? If I'd bought this record I'd feel ripped off.
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 9 Aug 10
is that a fucking elephant sample? Kudos to them if it is!
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 9 Aug 10
Vocals: A Dubin; Guitar: S. O'Malley; Bass: J. Plotkin, Drums: other guy; atmospherics: Mzungu the elephant.
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 9 Aug 10
okay, on to 'capture and release'
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 9 Aug 10
hey track one is called 'capture' and track two is called 'release'. SMART.
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 9 Aug 10
so I'm pretty sure when he sings about 'my home/basement' he means his parents basement.
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 9 Aug 10
this is a 20 minute song about getting the bus home from games workshop to get started painting the new warhammer figures you just got.
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 9 Aug 10
hey I'm pretty sure you just played this song on the first record!
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 9 Aug 10
oh wait no this one goes Da, Dun, DAAAAAAAA, not DAAAAAA, Da, Dun...
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 9 Aug 10
PLUG YOUR GUITAR BACK IN YOU JERK.
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 9 Aug 10

hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 9 Aug 10
another song about blood hey? RED blood?
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 9 Aug 10
trying is not enough? Aw, come on little guy...it's not that bad!
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 9 Aug 10
'and there I am above you' again...erotic. This is creeping me out. #sexydoom
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 9 Aug 10
"I hold you way too long, I won't let go". Aww. He likes to cuddle! I like that too. To be held.
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 9 Aug 10
okay this sounded like a funny idea but my cough's gotten worse and worse and now my chest really hurts.
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 9 Aug 10
Clean hands go foul. Last one. Second one to start with vocals. No wonder they broke up. #runningoutofideas
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 9 Aug 10
oh christ he just rhymed bad and sad?
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 9 Aug 10
my brother used to refer to this stuff unlfatteringly as 'I hate my parents music' but it's actually starting to be kind of appropriate.
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 9 Aug 10
seriously why can't you write about happy things instead? Like flowers...Roses are REDDDD RED RED REDRED
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 9 Aug 10
jake bannon wants his vocals back...haha just kidding sif jake bannon's done anything original #thankyoutrythefish!

*fades in with volume knob for 20 minutes* it's ambience!
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 9 Aug 10
the kids I can hear in the people next to the office's backyard laughing aren't making this any less creepy
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 9 Aug 10
I'd forgotten that this record is less hilariously overwrought and more flat out depressing
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 9 Aug 10
ARGH! Again with the screechy screechy! I knew it was coming but still, scared the crap out of me!
hashtag normalman @dasetraitor 9 Aug 10
well...that was that. I actually really like Khanate but I never wanna listen to them again. My chest hurts and I'm sad. #comedybackfires.
