CRIMESCENE MERCH has put up shirts to correlate with all of the Cult of The Seven Crowns releases that came out on A389 earlier this month, the Penetration Panthers seven inch is available on clear vinyl with pink swirls real radical, and all that Gehenna related ish is fucking choice as hell you should stop by A389 and scope around they just dropped a bunch of stuff that has never really been heard except for by small circles of people in darklit rooms and copious wafts bongsmoke. All the stuff is out on Itunes too if you are so inclined....I tell you what I never expected something I recorded to be on Itunes but thats the modern world for you I suppose.

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.

For Those Who Fear Tomorrow: You Have No Idea

A whole lot of things in my world that I haven't really spoke upon, playing with a band again really stoked on that shit's starting to come together. Penetration Panthers, if I get my way you'll hear that name a lot more.

Last weekend we played down in SoCal for the Integrity/GEHENNA show at the Chain Reaction. That show was huge and I am real grateful that I got to be apart of it. It's always nice seeing people out in a about in other cities. If you are an aging punker feeling down and out I suggest getting out and going to a bigger show like that to remember what it's all about. Or at least what it's about sometimes. Earlier in the day we played a super secret show down the street. Penetration Panthers, Violent Ruler, Gehenna, Integrity, Slaughterhouse Death Kamp.....got super duper faded and had an all-around good time. I can't begin to describe how surreal it was to be apart of the weekend. Just thinking about what my 16year-old self would've thought about the whole thing makes me kind of laugh. I remember when Integrity played Reno like 7 years ago with Ringworm....never in a million years did I think I would play a show with them at some hole-in-the-wall bar in Anaheim California.

I was trippin out on how Integrity and GEHENNA are getting super popular again and I realized it's because the lyrics and the music and the overall affect of these bands is almost TOO relevant for our current state of affairs. Each day it becomes less and less likely that we will pull-out of our collective tail-spin into oblivion. Honestly we probably never had a chance this ship was sinking looong before I ever got here, and long before most people got here too. But in these last two years and especially this last 6 months it's becoming increasingly apparent that we are fucked. Then you think about bands like Integrity and GEHENNA and you start to feel their message and you realize that they have literally been SCREAMING at us for the last 20 years trying to wake the world up to the reality of our situation.

Not that you know I completely condone being an out-right motherfucker, being honest about who we/you are, and what's actually going on is a step in the right direction. And I must say Im glad to have dudes like the ones in GEHENNA to show me how to WIN in such a rotten world.

By The Way this video was filmed in Reno! Take that!

Breaking Thine Law

Dream Deceivers (1990)

This is a really great KNPB-produced PBS documentary about a teen suicide pact made over Judas Priest in Reno in 1985 with one of the two kids, James Vance, unfortunately surviving a twelve-gauge blast to his head and the following absurd and frivolous lawsuit over supposed subliminal messages in the music. This happened in the suburban neighborhood we nicknamed America, where our old band practiced, where Jake and Ryan were jumped and stabbed a minute back, and where Miles and the Lundahls live. Perhaps a hex was cast on olde Black Forest Lane. This story is nearly as outrageous as a Reno 911 plotline, but as if shot from the other side of the law; the disaffected and alienated teenagers in Reagan America. Look out for what happens in a town preoccupied in the tourist and adult industry, a county with the highest heavy drinking rate in the nation, and within a state last in education and concerned with gambling on the future of Nevada. Is it clear yet why all of the bands here sound like Nirvana or Pantera?

Also worth noting:
-The influence of this movie for Harmony Korine on Gummo. He's mentioned it as a favorite, and his dad was a filmmaker for PBS in Nashville.
-Vance's lawyers office is shown, and is now a Church of Christ right across the street from us on Sinclair, very arguably an 'infamous' epicenter of metal, punk, and skateboarding in Reno.
-The kid playing guitar in the window sill and the metal fans at Frederic de LongChamps' beautifully designed Washoe County Courthouse as Priest rolls up. Dope.
