Dethalbum

Need I say more?

What happens when millions of raving fans demand the music from Dethklok Metalocalypse? A full album of brand spanking new songs. Thats what. A few new songs, and some from the show, like Murmaider. Beautifully re-written and composed. Fansong, Awaken Mustakrakish, Thunderhorse, Briefcase full of Guts, Birthday Dethday, Dethharmonic. Frak. Yes.

If you don't know what I am talking about, you can go here.

They have full episodes posted up there for your viewing pleasure, as well as other things.

Last year, a couple friends and I were talking about starting our own metal band. We came up with the name "Wild Turkey Overdrive," but I think somewhere down the line we changed it to something else. Anyway, it never really happened, although we did write some pretty interesting songs, enough to fill at least one album. When we wrote, we wrote at work. Small notepads, passed back and forth, quickly filled up with some of the strangest lyrics that have been read in a long time.

Here's a taste for ya. Remember, these writings are © T, Sean, and Shaun.

Taxidermy (pending)
(written by T, Sean, and Shaun)

Kill yourself with a bag of rocks
TWICE

Turn your pets into stuffed animals
TWICE

Taxidermy! Suicide! Taxidermy!
Something on your arm (oh shit!!!)
Get it off! Get it off!

Black Widow Spiders in your pants
WHY GOD?!?!

Rabid Dogs outside my car
WHYYYYYY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?11!1! Eleventy One

Launch a Hamster to the moon
So he can meet the Space Baboon


Some of them are better than that, organized, with proper poetry... "tablature" i guess you could say. ie:
a)
b)
c)
b)

Etc.

You know though, I would still be down for starting a metal band. I got a great guitarist, and I have some killer vocals. If you can play bass, or drums, or both at the same time, shoot me off an email and let me know. I would love to hear from you.

Also, as a side note, sorry I haven't posted up in the last week n half. I got really sick and ended up bedridden and barely coherent for a week, and lost track of things. I am back though, and I will keep up with the blog.
