Apologies for the unexplained absence for the preceding fortnight, gentle ones, but rest assured that posting will resume with gusto upon the arrival of the new year. In the meantime, share with me this horrid lump of coal that I found in my inbox. Another mad one man metal band in the mode of Brown Jenkins or Aarni, this Ygolonac seems fixated on the fictional grimoires of the Mythos, from what can be deciphered from the song titles and the band name. Ygolonac is the lord of the perverse and sadistic, the only Old One outside of insidious Nyarlathotep capable of taking human form, and notorious for the ravenous mouths screaming for blood from his palms and groin, traditionally cast in the role of curating the library of suppressed tomes which tend to drive mundane minds into madness. Ramsey Campbell's brutal and bitterly funny "Cold Print" is perhaps the finest Lovecraftian story produced in the seventies, and while the retro vibe of this nasty debut is probably meant to transcend time and space, I can sense a little disco cokestache under all the noise, maybe just slowed down 800x.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Yet another long-out-of-print soundtrack that has been repackaged several times in packages of dubious quality and legality, Ennio Morricone's Red Sonja is a haunting piece of majestic oddness. Combining the epic bombast required for the material with his usual penchant for strange sounds, nonsense vocals, and unusual instrumentation, Morricone deftly mixes with hordes of wind instruments with 80's synth pads, spooky choirs with thunderous junkyard timpani. I'm not positive which version we have here, and we are bereft of song titles, but it hardly matters; let the music entrance you, and pay no heed to the blade at your throat. </div>

Well, Swamplings, I apologize for the brief lapse in posting once again, but I have squeezed out the end of another wild week and I should note that I might not have endured without the help of Yob's new album <i>Atma</i>. Yob is one of the longest running and most potent doom acts in the world, and remains a group of genuinely nice people amid a vast ocean of douchebaggery. I'm not going to post <i>Atma </i>- you should just go <a href="http://www.insound.com/Atma-Vinyl-2xLP-Yob/P/INS97752/">buy it </a>- but instead have this first LP, another album that simultaneously encourages spiritual reflection while pelting the listener with anvils from space. I've been waiting all day to say this:<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, we arrive at the 500th post and so I give you Rudimentary Peni's aptly titled <i>Cacophony</i>. Notable as not only one of the most vital and well known works of Lovecraftian music but also as one of the most insane, terrifying things ever committed to wax, it is largely responsible for my fascination with the Mythos and therefore for the existence of this Swamp. A sharp departure from the band's bleak anarcho-punk sound and long held to be an account of Peni frontman Nick Blinko losing his mind, these songs seem like random fragments stitched together and pasted to a padded wall inside a cell. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There a hints of punk and hardcore, shimmering instrumental exploration, drinking songs, collages of mad noise, multi-tracked gibbering, morbid story-songs, threatening doggerel, and references to (and jokes about) nearly every facet of Lovecraft's work. Much of this is driven by Blinko's horrific vocals, which range from cheeseball operatics to metallic growls, from snotty punk taunting to inhuman gurgling, often simultaneously. Famously, one interlude is composed of a choir of clacking, gnashing teeth; another is a melange of wheezes and death rattles. It's hard to believe it all came from one man. The album is overstuffed, impenetrable, and baroque, in sharp contrast with the minimalist path the band followed afterwards - it's as if all the horrid knowledge in the universe flooded out from between Blinko's jaws. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The Mummies were the ultimate lo-fi garage punk noise act, partially a nutty monster novelty group but also the best band playing in the style, hands down. There's a lot more than just caveman rock here too: surf, bluesy vamps, biker anthems, spooky haunted house themes, instructional dance numbers, and frat rock classics, all smashed up into one glorious fucked up mess. This first LP is only the beginning of a long stretch of classic material, but it's as good a place to start as any.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The great grandaddy of all horrorcore rap, Gravediggaz' <i>6 Feet Deep</i> fused the skewed, dusty funk of Wu-Tang onto Addams Family organ and a lyrical prediliction for horror theatrics, although in contrast to what followed, many of the songs are tongue-in-cheek, goofy, and digressive. Containing two members of hip-hop veterans Stetsasonic and RZA from the newly-famous Wu-Tang Clan, plus the late Poetic, they initially formed after being screwed by Tommy Boy records in various ways. What at first was a one-off spleen venting became a movement in underground hip-hop, with a legion of horror obsessed freaks taking to the 808 and mirroring the rise of underground death metal in the early and mid-nineties. I've made a little game lately of comparing landmark albums in the respective genres; let's call this one <i><a href="http://fromthisswamp.blogspot.com/2011/02/autopsy-mental-funeral.html">Mental Funeral</a>.</i></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's another one that helped cultivate the Swamp we lurk in: <i>Feel the Darkness </i>by Poison Idea. One of the few hardcore to bands to be legitimately terrifying in their day, Poison Idea consistently put out the best and toughest records of any punk band for years, peaking with this one. Lacing their sinister, complex hardcore with greasy blues and classic rock riffs, they practically kick their way into the room through your speakers, stomping all over your shitty record collection. Singer Jerry A. tackles what seems to be the day-to-day grind for the band: drugs, crime, cops, and alienation, and behind the punk doggerel he sneaks in quite a bit of bleak poetry. Literally, the heaviest band on the planet.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Another crucial piece of your narrator's youth - Deicide's <i>Legion </i>is a classic or crazy, evil death metal merging cartoon Satanism, Lovecraftian cosmic horror, and a level of heaviness heretofore unheard. The track "Dead but Dreaming" is an important piece on the map of Lovecraftian metal, one of the best known and earliest. <i>Legion</i> clocks in at just under thirty minutes, but packs more brutality and nihilism into that short time than a dozen albums by lesser bands. It's easy to forget in light of later shenanigans, but at one time Deicide was the evilest, hardest band in the world. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Counting down to my 500th post and perusing the archives lately has brought to light some glaring oversights, albums I haven't posted yet that form the backbone of my musical taste. Many of these (this one included) have remained un-posted because I listen to them so much that I can't imagine life without them.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first one that came to mind was <i>The Evil One</i>, the most well known and arguably the best album by Roky Erickson. I have posted many Roky albums here before and casually assumed that anyone perusing my little Swamp would at least have a passing familiarity with the man. A huge percentage of albums on here are directly influenced by him, and many others have a spiritual kinship in their themes of paranormal phenomena, struggles with madness, and weird gibberish.<br />

Lyrically, Roky draws from vintage horror movies and urban legends as much as he uses early rock n' roll's predilection for mantra-like refrains and cribbed blues motifs. Musically, it's basically Buddy Holly and Bo Diddley squeezed through a proto-punk meat grinder. Creedence Clearwater Revival's Stu Cook played bass on and produced much of this album, lending a layer of cosmic hillbilly mystique to a record already doomed to obscurity.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course now Roky is known as an essential part of any rock fan's collection and he continues to produce new material, against all odds, but this is the pinnacle.</div>

From deep within the swirling mad vortex that calls itself Italian Black Metal, Necromass mixes in some primitive death and doom sounds with their typically melodramatic hate opera. The over-the-top foppery of most Italian metal is subdued here, replaced with a cool restraint that makes the wilder moments that much more potent. Much of the album grooves along at a nice mid-tempo gallop, punctuated by twin leads and unpredictable mood swings. Vocalist Charles Blasphemy (what a name) growls with gusto as well, more in the style of the Swedish death scene than the typical second-wave tortured wail. Another forgotten treasure from the underworld, brought to you with nothing but contempt and malice.</div>

Gravediggaz beat them by a year, but the debut album by Three 6 Mafia is perhaps the defining moment of horrorcore rap. The filthy low budget production, the predilection for violent imagery, the revenge fantasies and the murky, cobwebby atmosphere that define the genre are all here in copious amounts. Roughly equivelant to <i>Scream Bloody Gore, </i>the record still sounds menacing, vital, and prescient.</div>

While we're on the weird outer rims of heavy metal, let's stop over in darkest Italy, home to many truly bizarre bands of all sub-genres. Antonius Rex, the brainchild of Jacula leader Antonio Bartoccetti and vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Doris Norton. Of their many simultaneous projects, this is the darkest and most explicitly occult, enough so that they were dropped by their label and forced to self-release it in limited quantities some years later. Mixing the baroque organ fugues and jazzy psych of Jacula with a cinematic adventurousness influenced by Goblin and Morricone, with the pair's sometimes distracting vocals and breathless narration kept to a minimum. This version is a recent reissue containing the extended track listing of later versions but with the original, suppressed cover art intact. One can hear influences on occult rock modern bands, especially Blood Ceremony, but nobody has the freeform batshit wildness of this monster.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been sifting through the archives this week, spurred on by sickness and cabin fever, eventually arriving at a pile of poorly tagged, low quality mp3's of The Old Ones. Downloaded years ago from the baffling <a href="http://www.9productions.net/">9 Productions</a> website ( seemingly a relic from 1994 but sporadically updated with new information, despite being 90% perpetually "under construction"), The Old Ones are a classic example of a one-man project driven by sheer love and madness, content to languish in obscurity and bereft of shame or self-awareness. Existing for years on the same fringes of doom populated by <a href="http://fromthisswamp.blogspot.com/2010/07/aarni-bathos.html">Aarni</a> or <a href="http://fromthisswamp.blogspot.com/2010/05/brown-jenkins-angel-eyes.html">Brown Jenkins</a>, this anonymous Czech fellow continues to make music under this moniker - there is another album and multiple singles, and a sequel to this semi-full length is promised sometime this year. This one is a bit of a mess - I corrected the incoherent tags as best I could, but the volume is wildly erratic, the guitars are tinny and muffled except for the occasional solo, the vocals are too loud, and the drum machine is laughable. Still, crazy-eyed ambition and enthusiasm go a long way in bands like this, and The Old Ones have no shortage of either. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
As the end of another exhausting and wild week draws to a close, I find myself drawn to this seminal album from the legendary Possessed. Much like Venom's <i>Black Metal</i> record, <i>Seven Churches </i>basically spawned an entire genre of heavy metal, in this case death metal. Not that it existed in a vacuum, but the degree of ugliness, spite, and heaviness expressed by these high school lads was unprecedented, and a huge influence on the first generation of DM bands, especially Death. I'm too drained to expound any further, and it shouldn't be necessary anyway - just sit back and feel the hate roll over you.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been an Angry Samoans fan for over fifteen years, and as time grinds on I find myself beginning to understand the later, stranger work of fucked up front man Metal Mike Saunders. I mean, <a href="http://cosmichearse.blogspot.com/2011/07/back-from-samoa.html"><i>Back From Samoa</i></a> is an all time classic, and even the second album <a href="http://elsmonsdiminuts.blogspot.com/2011/06/angry-samoans-stp-not-lsd.html"><i>STP Not LSD</i></a> seems less baffling and more amusing and memorably nutty in hindsight. By the time this weird seven inch record arrived in 1996, the rest of the original lineup was long gone, as were all of their replacements - in fact, this is just Mike on guitar and vocals. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Saunders was one of those characters too fucked to play drums but charismatic enough to be a "singer," like Joey Ramone or Iggy Pop. The first Samoans show was as the opening band for <a href="http://fromthisswamp.blogspot.com/search?q=roky">Roky Erickson</a>, and his twitchy shadow looms long over their style: surreal, horror-movie influenced lyrics and a complete lack of self-editing, combined with a youthful enthusiasm for weird drugs and fifties pop. Once Mike's bandmates had jumped ship he was left with the name and without anybody to tell him NO.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So we arrive years later at this thing. Side one is a loose parody of the John Cougar Mellencamp song "Rain on the Scarecrow," but instead of lamenting the plight of the modern farmer, it's a jab at recently croaked Grateful Dead slob Jerry Garcia. On the surface it seems like an anti-dope song, but Saunder's long history of drug abuse is obvious not only to those aware of the band's career arc, but also to anyone with a pair of ears and a copy of this record. The flipside is a similarly warped cover of "Heroin" by the Velvet Underground, likely cribbed from Roky's cover, which fades into another Coug joke. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So why does this record exist? Saunders is no stranger to drugs, and sports a giant mane of hair that probably stank worse than The Stooges. He can barely keep his guitar in tune and both of the songs he's parodying are old news, even in '96. The answer is in the grooves, though, I can feel it. Better listen to it again...</div>

Here's a bit of pompous, low-budget symphonic black metal from Germany's Cryogenic, paying homage to the Lovecraft story of a doomed city locked in a vicious cycle of death and rebirth for all eternity. Defined by cheap synths, phony choral vocals, rubbery drums, and a sort of cardboard epicness that makes me think these guys are probably LARPers in their spare time, <i>Celephaïs</i> has a certain charm that makes up for its lack of atmosphere or audible guitar. For fans of Bal Sagoth or Septic Flesh, especially the kind that likes to make armor out of soda pop boxes and duct tape.</div>

Well, the gateway to Mediafire seems to be closed temporarily, so I must improvise tonight's entertainment. I thought this timely with the passing of Bil Keane, creator of the widely loathed Family Circus. Though numerous parodies of his maudlin creation existed, often with his blessing, only the now-defunct <a href="http://namelessdread.livejournal.com/">Nameless Dread</a> was actively suppressed, presumably after touching some dark nerve in Keane's soul. Fortunately I have many of them preserved in my private archive and now I shall <a href="http://fromthisswamp.blogspot.com/2011/11/nameless-dread.html">pass them along</a> to you, dear ones. Presumably normal transmissions will resume tomorrow. </div>

This is the soundtrack to the cult television show "Fishing with John," starring John Lurie. Taking the loose framework of a PBS nature show and twisting it into a hilarious beatnik riff on culture shock, cryptozoology, manliness, booze, frenetic dancing, and the nature of sport, the six extant episodes stand as one of the weirdest TV experiments ever. With guests like Tom Waits, Willem Defoe, Dennis Hopper, and Jim Jarmusch, and wild expressionist music by Lurie's many amorphous jazz combos, it's settling nicely right now with the mixture of whiskey and cough syrup fueling your helpless narrator's feverish battle with Mother Nature herself, also nicely reflecting the over-arching theme of the show. Perhaps tomorrow will find me more lucid, or perhaps floating face down in an icy bog somewhere.</div>

Just stopping by for a moment to drop this bizarre monstrosity on you before it's too late. Columbia's Aggressive play an oddball mutant thrash, musically more in line with the gibbering weirdness of The Accused than the more meat-and-potatoes nuclear stuff most retro-bands are ripping off these days, with a wild vocalist and hints of gang-chorus hardcore, proto-death, grind, and NWOBHM. All of this, plus one of the best album covers of the year. </div>

Miami's teenage horror rapper Spaceghostpurrp has released what may well be the year's darkest and strangest mixtape, <i>Blvcklvnd Rvdix 66.6</i>. Sounding like it was recorded on a tiny, busted cassette player and liberally slathered in Godzilla and Mortal Kormbat samples, and as murky and uncommercial as any deliberately obscure black metal kvlt, this bloated monstrosity is a purple smear of ugliness, a robotussin stain on the plush carpet of hipster rap. It's anti-social, unfiltered, and wallowing in sociapathic obscurity.</div>

Copenhagen's Gorilla Angreb played a ragged, boozy mix of old L.A. punk in the style of <a href="http://fromthisswamp.blogspot.com/2011/07/more-fun-in-new-world.html">X</a> and mid-nineties <a href="http://fromthisswamp.blogspot.com/2010/09/rip-offs-got-record.html">garage scum</a>. Once again the lyrics are impenetrable to me but the sound and sentiment transcend my limited faculties, speaking the universal tongue of rage, sweat, love, and spittle. This is their entire recorded discography minus some live material, and essential listening for keeping out of the cold.</div>
