Grind and b-movies go hand in hand.

So, this is a post to celebrate the sheer awesomeness of the band of crazy individuals known collectively as Graf Orlock. Named after the vampire in the alltime classic vampiremovie Nosferatu, the band brings to the stage, full-on, teeth to the curb, grinding hardcore, lathed to the brink with a shitload (read: A SHITLOAD) of movie-quotes.

A good example is the song "Days of high adventure" from the newest of their records, Destination time today. The song kicks off with a quote that goes like this:

"What is best in life?"
"To crush your enemies, have them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women!"

5 scenepoints if you can figure out where its from.

Also, the song "The dream left behind" contains the theme from Jurrasic Park.

Here is the bands three records "Destination time today", "Destination time tomorrow" and "Destination time yesterday".

Stating the obvious I STRONGLY recommend that you track down these releases on vinyl, both to support the artist, but also because of the amazing packaging. For example, the 10'' Destination time tomorrow has a pop-out-of-stomach alien that springs out when you open the packaging. A-MA-ZING!

Here you go kids:

To do covers or not to do covers?

Let me say it like it is, there is certain bands that you should keep your hands off, in terms of playing covers. Your crappy deathmetal band should stay away from doing Carcass, Slayer or At The Gates covers. Unless you are indeed one of the aforementioned bands. As such, At The Gates covering Slayer makes more sense...

The same logic applies for blackmetal bands covering Darkthrone and so forth...

This said, some bands are able to lift the burden of covering extremely influential bands in their own "genre". This, my friends, is one of them. I bring you four Black Sabbath covers by the one and only Thou, as presented on their "Through empires of the eternal void" 12''.

Listen, and be crushed!
