Marasme - Mirroir


Marasme is an Expimental/Sludge/Post-Metal band from Majorca Spain. They're offering up their full-length album Mirroir for the low, low cost of "on the house". Pretty solid album in the Isis/Cult of Luna vein. Love the band logo too, it's kinda like Lovecraft started a metalcore band. Check it out:

The Sadist With Red Teeth - Opening Credit Song


I've just got one song for this post, sorry for anyone who got excited and thought I had the entire soundtrack (which I don't think was ever released). This is the song that plays over the opening credits of Jean Louis Van Belle's weird ass fake-vampire freakout film Le sadique aux dents rouges (The Sadist With Red Teeth). The opening credits do show the composer of the music played in the film (Raymond Legrand), but not who performs this song, or what the song is called.

This is the kind of thing I usually post on one of my compilations featuring unreleased movie music - see Mummy Came In My Room or Vampire Tickle Fight (aka Amateur Vampire Chiropractory). However it takes me a while to put together one those compilations since I usually rip a song here and there and let them pile up for several months before I post them. So from now on whenever I rip a song from a DVD I'll just put it up and maybe compile them together with custom cover and ridiculous "album" title when I've gotten about 15-20. Or not, I don't know yet, for now, here's the unknown track by the unknown artist from The Sadist With Red Teeth. Bonus points for anyone who can identify the track or artist.



One thing I wanted to point out. I wanted to mention that Mummy Came In My Room should've been titled Mummy Came In My House. Embarrassingly, I misquoted the movie and I just realized right now. I planted my face in my palm and cried out "Oh!" upon realization. Oh well, if Vader's "No, I am your father." line can be misquoted as "Luke, I am your father" thousands, and thousands of times I think my Monster Squad slip up is okay.


While I'm here, I thought I'd mention that if anyone is interested, I've posted Bruno Nicolai's music from Perché Quelle Strane Gocce Di Sangue Sul Corpo Di Jennifer? over at Digital Meltd0wn.

The Taint - Movie Review



Directors: Drew Bolduc, Dan Nelson
Writer: Drew Bolduc
Stars: Drew Bolduc, Colleen Walsh, Giancarlo Agar, Mike Baker and Natalie W. Baker
Runtime: 70 Minutes give or take
Rated: I don't think there's a rating strong enough to cover this thing.


THE PLOT


After the experimental drug Cockzantium (a penis-enlargening serum - invented so women will be unable to resist giving blowjobs to huge penises of the Cokzantium users) is leaked into the local water supply any men exposed to the water become misogynists. Not the traditional kind of women hating asshole misogynists, these dudes are maniacal monsters who are sexually aroused by the act of smashing women's heads in, usually with large rocks.

It's up to the one remaining untainted male, hipster/slacker/schoolboy Phil O' Ginny (director Bolduc) and badass female sidekick Misandra (Colleen Walsh) to fight off the misogynists and hopefully find a cure, or at least an explanation for the taint before these crazy bastards have smashed the heads of every female in sight.

THE REVIEW



The Taint is kind of like The Crazies, if everyone infected ran around with constantly ejaculating erections while bashing women's heads in. Yes, I said ejaculating erections. The infected misogynists all run around with huge Dirk Diggler-ian prostetic wangs hanging out of their pants, shooting jizz all over everything while destroying the heads of every female in sight with everything from hedge trimmers to car doors.

Featuring more head crushing than Riki-Oh and more dick shooting than Robocop, this is the kind of movie Troma should be making. Gross, shocking, offensive, hilarious, but also featuring some fairly excellent production values. For a film that couldn't have had much of a budget it actually looks very impressive and professional and features a few outstandingly well done gore scenes.


This is a tough film to really fully recommend. Not because I didn't like it, - I laughed, I cried, I nearly vomited. I think I loved it. But, I think the ejaculating boner stuff, and the truly disgusting nature of the film is probably going to turn off all but the most hardened trash fiends. But adventurous film fans who want to be truly offended while still laughing their asses off at something genuinely bizarre be sure to check this thing out at once.


HIGHLIGHTS

Squirrel decapitation
He(a)dge trimming

This:



The Taint is available on DVD (with wicked awesome punk flyer style cover) for $10, VHS (the tape is hand-painted by the director) for $15 and the excellent synthy soundtrack featuring music by Drew Bolduc, Philip Heesen III, Robert King, Chris Bolduc, and Brian Beck is available for $5. There is also a package available for $25 that includes the DVD, VHS, Soundtrack and an autographed poster.

Godzilla vs. Heavy Metal


This is post #900 on The Manchester Morgue and I thought it needed to be something really special and obscure. Then I thought, nah, a ridiculous mini album with heavy metal renditions of a few classic Godzilla tunes would be more my style.

This is a split album, Yoshio Nomura on tracks 1 & 3 and Cha Cha Maru on tracks 2 & 4. I love the cover for this thing, Gojira taking a gigantic flying V in the chest, it's like an absurd Guitar Wolf video or something.

1. GODZILLA(「ゴジラ」~メインテーマより)
2. 決戦(「三大怪獣地球最大の決戦」~キングギドラ誕生/「怪獣大戦争」~怪獣大戦争のマーチより)
3. 怪獣総進撃(「怪獣総進撃」~タイトルクレジットより)
4. GODZILLA MEDLEY(「ゴジラ(1984)」~ゴジラ迎撃せよ/「ゴジラVSビオランテ」~スーパーX2/「ゴジラVSデストロイア」~レクイエムより)
