In this fourth part of Paul Schwarz's ongoing series, "ZZ Frost" and "DUB" of Dutch underground extreme metal screw-arounds The Sodomised Abortions continue to listen -- we don't know if anyone else is, so we'll not mention the promised live review that is still outstanding (hint hint, Paul). 'The List' (see below) will be featured in each episode of this rant 'series'. Ratings will appear only in the body text of any given 'episode'. Remember, big things afoot in April: we're going undercover and into the true meaning of kvlt -- is that how you spell it, with a little 'k', as in 'kwood'? Paul says it's a British hockey term...

Series One: In Ede and Extreme

Written, edited, transcribed and paraphrased by: Paul Schwarz

Author's note: It has come to my attention that this column rather erred on the 'generous' side, as a good friend once remarked when he was accused of being prententious and longwinded. This week, we're getting stingy -- or zen, depending how you choose to sugarcoat it. Right, that was the last bit of generosity. Go ask for tree fitty elsewhere -- "Hot Hardwood Babes R Us" this ain't.

A campsite in Ede, a relatively modest collective haul of CDs and DVDs: messenger won't go away at the touch of a button. Perfect?

Episode Four: Give Us the Grind, 101

That's what ZZ said after he saw out last edition. 200 words and counting. Now. EXTREME NOISE TERROR have been bootlegged badly, but top whack for twenty minutes sucks even when it's awesome to look through that window of time. [Incompetent interview awesomeness awards extra star to rip off: **]

Barney makes 'brutal', but this ENT is stiff. [Split with Trap Them better: ***]

'Dark Cloud' fits the order of this day. "Who can trust Schwarz on THE CHASM?" asks ZZ. Who indeed [Ahem: *****]

Who can argue with the DEAD KENNEDYS? Not DUB -- and ZZ is fully with that, though it's a dear half hour DVD [Work that vac, Jello! ****]

Hammer-smashing denim and leather '80s into a '90s sound that never existed for most, DECEASED at times "grind like Voivod and Kreator casting a shadow of Iron Maidens [sic] to come", proclaims ZZ. "Approval. But don't ask me why", adds DUB, nodding to the other's final word: "He sounds like the guy on the Combat Records video!" [Bang your head til your dead / It is the only way / Happy blastbeat appreciation day -- ****]
