Screech Owl, I Am The Chisel
Happenings of late - I started running, and I beat Guitar Hero 3 on expert. I am the unbeatable lord of the five buttons (perhaps the Lorde of the Fyve Magicks, if you prefer). However awesome as those two things may be, I am here to relate a brief story.
I went to the record shop in order to by the new Autechre and Ladyhawk albums (neither of which they had, which is strange because Zulu is excellent most of the time). Not to be deterred, I bought some used CDs ( a Blue Oyster Cult live CD, and the debut from Godspeed You Black Emperor, which is still their best, dammit)., and a new CD. It is an album by the Canadian band Wold. They are a black metal band. My love of heavy metal is fairly well documented. This is an album of particular note - it is incredibly poorly recorded and noisy, even by black metal standards. It is one of those gloomy, harsh noisy things that can be hard to listen to sometime. Nonetheless, I picked up a copy of Screech Owl because, well, it was reasonably priced and had neat art. I figure the worst thing that could happen was that I have extended the musical career of a Saskatchewan black metal band by 16 dollars. Also it was released on Profound Lore records, and they have released some neat things lately. I love small to midsized metal labels for some reason. Always had a soft spot for Hydra Head and Southern Lord. Any record label whose abbreviation is Sunn is okay by me.
