Keep Ruling Violently

schools out thank the gods, another semester fumbled

Hell yeah in the next coming weeks there will be a couple vinyl releases brought to you by the homies, on saturday the mighty VIOLENT RULER will be dropping their first full length, SWELLING THE MORGUE. In fact if MO woke up he should be fucking around with transparencies and diddlin' with layouts as I write. the release party is on SATURDAY in Reno at Jub Jubs Thirst Parlor. As it stands I don't know any information on pre-ordering and all that but I'll pass it along once it's passed along to me...
For the woefully uninitiated VIOLENT RULER is hands-down the best metal act in Reno, taking the best parts from 80's splicing it with the best of the 90's, then they smother it with drugs and let it bleed. In other words they are top-notch Thrash Metal unit that make bands like Toxic Holocaust look like a cheap after-school special in comparison. But don't take my word for it you can check out six songs right below. They also are in the process of recording some other other shit so yeah be on the lookout for that as well. I've also heard rumours of a West Coast tour this year, don't wanna give too much away, but itll more than likely beINFAMOUS, and it might get RAINY and they might take a Pro-wrestler with them....anyways keep your ears and eyes open.

Violent Ruler DEMOlition

Demons of the Static Age

Word has it that with super high bit-rates this video appears to be more than it is...I haven't actually been able to watch it yet, and certainly not download and watch it proper, high and defined, but yeah check this shit out. No lie I've listened to this song more than any other in the last couple of months(beating out Joanna Newsom, Big Boi, Isobel Campbell...that is one large feat). While static is an interesting medium, they really need to get someone with a Carpenter/Kubrick aesthetic up on their videos and start churnin' out the new DARK...you can pick up a super Fidelic version of the video somewhere on this website but not entirely sure how...how helpful

Which House?

The Flaming Lips famously stated, "Finally the punk rockers are taking Acid", I would like to say, "Finally nerdy computer geeks are taking cough syrup". If they were ever to accurately remake a classic horror film(mostly Nightmare on Elm Street) The opening shot would be a descending aerial view of a sleepy neighborhood that slowly descends on to one open upstair window....this song would be playing and their would be choppy cuts of an underwater scene and maybe some stock owl footage spliced in there really artfully. Plus that guitar solo sounds ripped straight from David Gilmour's hands circa 1983.
