Elephantman 7"

Yeah, it's been 2 fucking months since anything has been put up on this blog. My computer got eaten by a virus and I can't speak for the other doomz out there that are welcome to add content; maybe they were high, in jail, drunk, or comatoast, or whatever. We are not and probably will never be 'consistent' in the terms of standard music 'acts' out there, that's just the way we operate.

So hot air aside, I've been wanting to throw up some recordings by one of my favorite bands that popped up in our circle by pure matters of chance....and they fucking killed it under the banner of Elephantman.

Here's a blog posted by 'Creepy' Mike of Capitalist Casualties that tells some of the tale of Elephantman:

let's start with the way this band started. capitalist casualties was on tour in japan, and in nagoya a guy came up to me and said "i'am coming to the states, and i'am gonna start a band, will you play guitar for me"? well i figured he wouldn't actually make it to the states to start the band so i said yes. one year later he walked into my work at buffalo exchange and wanted to jam. i had put my foot in my mouth. he had a young drummer named elliot and an old friend of mine frank from plutocracy and agents of satan on bass. about 6 months later we started playing shows, soon after we had shared the stage with warmachine, catheter, carniceria, walken, capitalist casualties, artimus pyle, maggot colony, wasteoid, straight edge kegger, cruevo, noxagt, shadow people, l.i.e.,pig destroyer, phobia, benumb, vulgar pigeons, fall of the bastards, wormwood, and many others. we recorded a 7 inch on elliots label i.o.i. records, and some other shit that isn't out yet. we became popular fairly fast, due in part to very violent gigs, with most fights including band members and members of the audience. our sound was not unlike that of sleep, iron monkey, old napalm death, and capitalist casualties. well after about three years we are gonna play again here and there. if anyone has ever seen us, leave me a comment, good or bad!

You can find Mike's myspace profile here. (if you'd like to drop him a line)

And here's a review of their 7" released on drummer Elliot's label (Impatience or Indifference)

"These guys crank out some solid hardcore/punk with a little bit of a crossover feel at times, as well as some fucking killer sludgy riffing and more of a strange rock vibe on occasion - making for an interesting combination of sounds. Members of this band have played in a slew of other great acts like Capitalist Casualties, Agents of Satan, and Plutocracy, among others, and their vocalist hails from Japan, bringing with him a shrieking intensity not unlike what one would expect from the country. But like I said, this is diverse material, so don't expect it to mirror the work of the musicians' past efforts. I really like the killer basslines that run all over the place between the percussion and the guitars, I think that's an enormous strength here, but their penchant for throbbing sludge riffs is also a nice balance for their faster, more grating side (perfectly exemplified by their scorching cover of Black Flag's Thirsty & Miserable)".- www.aversionline.com

Kalmex and the Riffmerchants 'Electric Bukkake'

I released this CD by these true Doomz back in 2004. It's my favorite release on Intolerant Messiah because I think it's the best album I've ever released. The reviews for it were a mixed bag, from 'terrible', to 'baffling', to 'genius' which to me has historically been exactly the response the best albums out there receive by the fans and the music publications. The only negative criticism I agree with is that the cover is total shit. They had a really depraved concept for the cover but the artist they chose failed to deliver it properly and due to time restraints to get the fucking thing released we just said 'fuck it' and went with the artists piece anyway. I think if it had a better cover, it might have been better received by 'outsiders'; all us Doomz, on the other hand, could really give a fuck about the albums cover art, it's the music that we're after, not the drawings. This is not the final release by the Riffmerchants as there will be at least one new release by them this year; 'Ultrasonic Holocaust'. 'Ultrasonic' has been in the making for years and got 'back-burnered' due to a communication lapse between the band and Eric Wood from M.I.T.B, Bastard Noise, Neanderthal etc. This album is a collaborative piece between the Riffmerchants and Wood. Recently, the merchants and Wood have revived the project and it should finally be completed and properly released in the next few months. Since I'm pre-occupied with moving (again), I have posted the 'one-sheet' I sent to all the mags, zines, and distributors for the masterpiece that is 'Electric Bukkake' to give my description. Enjoy the doomryde! ~ Lord Ballsakk

Stnkweedo goes to Elmwood......for 60 to 90

Stnkweed Malone wanted to personally share his experience with the Shadow People and the Shedwellaz a bit more so here goes:

"The Shadow People started where the 'Dwellaz left off. Since Zodiakiller (R.I.P.) & Lobo Lobiano weren't around. Tizoe also wasn't available. So me and Eons started doing Shadow Peeps, until the 'Dwellaz could start doing stuff again. So me and Eons started messing around at his house. Eons made the beats and did the cuts, and sometimes I would help with the samples for hooks. We soon had a few tracks together. Tizoe soon came back into the picture and got on the last tracks. Leech filmed a video for us. It was extreme and too offensive for some, but is was good. The Shadow People's style, in my mind, was supposed to be very offensive; not 'happy hip-hop', but more of the stuff people never say but maybe would like to say; basically 'over-the-top' is what I was going for. I think that's part of the reason that Riley didn't keep going with the project; it was a little too extreme. I soon got back on meth and stopped doing music. Then the Kompound started up by Savage, Frank (Lepr), & Tizoe. I soon joined along with Lobo, then due to people moving and drugs and jail and all kinds of shit, the Kompound has kinda been put on hold. So I took the opportunity to start up the Shedwellaz again. TC Bone Locs (Go Like This!) had his studio in RWC and made the beats and I rapped, the rest is history. Basically we're just trying to do the Shedwellaz with pretty much anybody that's down with us helping out with the project. I think it's part of the reason it's so dope. It represents the West Bay Koalition's reputation for variety. TC's other band 'Murder of Crows' has helped us get hooked up with shows and things have been going good. I'm writing this the day before I go to jail for a stretch but I ain't tripping 'cuz I know all the Doomryderz and West Bay Dankdaddies have got my back. Big shout out to Lord Ballsakk for doing this website. Be on the lookout for a whole bunch of of Shedwellaz projects coming out in 2009.... we've recorded over 40 songs in the last 2 years!
Peace out ~ Stnkweed Malone ~ West Bay Presidente."

Plutocracy 'Dankstahz' album, "one of 20 US grindcore releases you just must own" - Terrorizer Magazine #181 March 2009

It was one thing to finally get some Doomryderz acknowledgment from the major metal press via the fact that 'This Comp Kills Fascists' made Decibel magazine's Top 40 releases of 2008 and made mention of Agents of Satan, but having Terrorizer magazine place Plutocracy's 'Dankstahz' album at #17 of the top 20 US grindcore albums that you must have is just fucking sick as fuck! I literally jumped off the couch last night when I turned the page to glance over the list and saw Pluto at #17!! I think I even spiked the mag in a display of victory; football style. Know what? Terrorizer is dead on spot listing this album as one of the most important grind records ever.....FUCKING EVER!! Think about it for a second. If you know you shit about grindcore and have never thought that this album actually is that historical and important to the genre....then buy a bullet and rent a gun, you fucking elitist faggot!!! Put this record up against all the current retro-grind out there, and you'll just want to slap yourself for never hearing this (if you haven't) and punch yourself in the junk (if you've never seen them live). Monumental and genius is how I think of this album. Kalmex and Stnkweed wrote this fucker in a haze of dope and malt liquor and proved their mettle and their METAL!! Terrorizer got it kinda correct although the cover art shown is not the actual cover art for the LP, the actual cover art on the 625 Productions/Slap-a-ham released ltd. LP* has the Pluto logo and a weird picture of an alien-like looking fetus (that's what I see anyway) and on the back they re-used the 'Freedom Denied' 7" cover art with the song titles. Also, the best way to listen to the Dankstahz album is on vinyl of course so fuck the CD and listen to this uploaded version of JUST the Dankstahz album and not all the older stuff (which is also killer but best listened to separately on their own as their own). And why the D.A. name drop, Terrorizer? The Pluto side of that split fucking crushes the D.A. side!! So sick of all the D.A. ass-licking in this scene....yaddaimeen? ~ Lord fucking Ballsakk

Plutocracy 'Dankstahz'

I ripped the Dankstahz tracks from the compilation CD so the track numbers say 7 thru 22

* The 'Dankstahz' 12" LP was limited to 500 copies because the shitty record plant (United?) broke the fucking plates for this masterpiece. Some German label asked Pluto to release a 10" version for Europe and who fucking knows exactly how many copies that sleazy dude pressed and sold of that version. (do you know? tell me if I'm wrong, I can handle it)

Shedwellaz

This is Stnkweed Malone kickin the real story of the Shedwellaz. I started the 'dwellaz after being in a rap group with my homeboy J-ster and Penz-oner, the group was called The Factor and was sampled by Agents of Satan on their 625 debut 7". They (J-ster & Penz) wanted to do more intelligent hip hop and I wanted to do it all (more crazyshit) so we went separate ways, but we will always be friends. So Kalmex told me Dan from Spazz was doing some dj work, so we got him on beats and cuts. We used to do, sell and weigh dope in my homie's Eighth-of-Dank's backyard shed so my homie Casper called us Shedwellaz. So I kept the name and repped the game. So the first line-up was lil' Josh aka 'Eighth-of-Dank': the shed facilitator, Stnkweed Malone: wack mc eliminator, dj Eons: dope beat rotator, and Lobo Lobiano: the nocturnal human beast. We soon recruited Zodiak-iller (976, Factor, No Le$$) and Tizoe Davinci(wsg ,kompound). We cut our first real track at Trainwreck Recording studio (engineered by smokin bomb tom). deadbodieseverywhere let me use a better 4- track for the group (I still owe them a 4-track to this day...I'm such a dick but they still love me). Anyways that's when the fun really began, when I went mobile. We had dj Optimus Prime, Leon, and Tizoe all making beats at this time along with Eons. I would always help with samples we even had Mike Silva from Apeshit doing bass lines. The dankraphone devils: Zak-1 and Gino soon got in on the mix, but i was on alot of drugs so things didn't go so good for the group. Now I've got my shit together and I have added a new member to the family: TC Bonelocs (Feldmans, Translators, Murder of Crows) and any old member I can find that's down to rhyme. I just want to stress that not one person did everything we all did everything, even Shanky Tooth (Emetic, Bullshit Excuse, Riffmerchants) made a few beats. Optimus Prime probably produced with me the most notorious Shedwellaz song ever, 'Evil Souls' (featuring Zodiak-iller r.i.p). Satan's Pimp put out our only vinyl (12" EP). I'm trying to do some remixes with some Zodiak-iller flows, we just need to get some acapella's from Eons. But the tradition lives on, me and TC are still in a shed doing this shit straight out the gutter muthafukaz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Check us out! Call me (Kindred aka Stnkweed) at (415)572-8960 or call TC Bonelocs at (650)218-5535. It's hard to keep it all together when you're on drugs and broke, so thanx to all the people out there who show love to us and not hate! ~ Stnkweed aka Showtime. I'll see u when I get out of jail.

Shedwellaz 'Back 2 tha Shed' (tracked 2007 thru 2008 at the Habitat by TC Bonelocs)

BULLSHIT EXCUSE CD

BULLSHIT EXCUSE (1999 - 2000)

Began in '99 after Shanko moved to RWC and wanted to jam. He recruited Leon from Apeshit to play drums and we started to jam out in Leon's Kitchen. Deshko caught wind and wanted to do vocals and Kindred also wanted to be involved. Around that time, Shanko, Kindred and I (along with some other RWC OG's) were working at a cabinet shop in RWC. The name Bullshit Excuse comes from phone calls our boss received from employees calling in sick. Alot of the song titles refer to our time working together there. Bullshit Excuse existed concurrently with the reunited Plutocracy. We played several shows locally and did this recording sometime in 2000. After the recording, we changed our name to MethKamp which devolved later into Singaia. These songs are from a limited run of CD's (100?) released by Deshko on his Family of Resistance label, and are only about half of the songs that were recorded. Tony Easly did the awesome cover art. Shortly after this recording, Kindred, Shanko and I started Kalmex and the Riffmerchants with Thomas and Dan Lactose. ~ Frank aka LEPR aka Ramon Salcido
