Jihad

[Nate The Great]

Has anybody else heard about this 'Freezing Mood, Carnage / Jihad' split album featuring Mayhem and The Meads of Asphodel?

The Mayhem material is from 1990, and it is supposed to be the only material recorded in a studio with the original line-up (featuring Dead on vocals).

The Meads of Asphodel material was inspired by the 9/11 attacks. I'm assuming that means it is some sort of celebration of those hijackers. If that is the case, has the band simply done it for notoriety? Or is the material actually against terrorism.

Tha album cover has some Taliban guy on it. The End has it, but they don't show that part of the cover on their website.

i was wondering how long its gonna take to some ass hole to release an album about jihad....


i dont know, however, if this is against , or pro jihad???

 

[JayKeeley]

I think it's just 'about' jihad without any leaning in particular. From their description, it sounds like they try to introduce middle-eastern sounds into their music.

We had a thread about Meads...I'll see if I can dig it up.

From December 3rd:

I don't believe Meads of Asphodel are any good though I have nothing to back that up... Anyway, as far as the Mayhem side goes, this split was only a cash-in re-release of the two studio tracks with Dead "Freezing Moon" and "Carnage" from the "A Projection of a Stained Mind" comp.

I'm more curious as to the stance on 9/11 and "Jihad" in general.

 

[NAD]

That's intriguing at the very least... ... . .uikj.. . .

 

[Nate The Great]

NAD: Have you heard The Great Deciever. AWESOME band!

 

[NAD]

Nope, but I have the King Crimson boxset of the same name!

What are they like?

 

[Nate The Great]

They have that Tomas Lindberg guy from At the Gates, Lock Up, etc. They play metalcore with a hint of industrial influences. They are easily the best new metalcore/hardcore band around. The riffs remind me of Grip Inc. It's all about the riffs.

 

[NAD]

Tomas Lindberg + Grip Inc. comparison = on the list.

 

[Dead_Lioness]

a band that combines middle east music with metal, is Orphaned Land.
you guys are familiar with them ?

their album will be released on Century Media next month.

...best new metalcore/hardcore band around...

Quoted for the oxymoronity. Yes, I made up that word.

 

[Nate The Great]

I'll oxymoronity my foot up your ass!

Does this strike anyone else as a bit...daft?

 

[Hell Mike]

FYI, Pelle (Dead) was not in the original Mayhem line up. Those two songs are fucking great, especially from that recording session, which is indeed the only studio recording featuring Pelle on vocals.

Original Mayhem lineup: Euronymous, Necrobutcher, Manheim. Necrobutcher has not been in mayhem all the time from the beginning-->now, though. He was kicked out (For being 'too normal', I believe) and asked to come back after Euro's death. Manheim was never anything but a hippie.
