Men Eater

When i first heard this band, it came as a surprise, the impressive amount of energy they pour out of stage. They were recently formed, i could tell, and were playing in an adverse environment. Their music was unknown to the most of us, but it was obviously, that was about to change. Not much time after that show in Bar Alfa, i saw them again in a festival, not sure but i believe it was SBSR or maybe Rock in Rio. Recognize them immediately and felt good, someone "important" had notice them. Their first album took time to come out but it paid the waiting, it is a heavy profession. Strangely, i stop hearing about them, i thought they were another band that broke up just when they were starting to grow, until now. They open a show for Valient Thorr in July i think, witch went pretty well.

Their second record is out and it is brutal! I just hope they'll keep growing and showing their music everywhere.

Within time they toured this small country (Portugal), released "Hellstone" in 2007 and "Vendaval" in 2009. Now it is time to reveal it to the rest of Europe.

The rest will come, i'm sure. They are fated to higher stages.

TAD Busted Circuits and Ringing Ears

Tad was one of the greatest bands ever.

I only recent came across this documentary, and i recommend it to every one. It is a human story about a super-human band. The documentary reveals the inside backstage of one of the best, heaviest, misfortune grunge bands ever.

Hopeful now Tad can be appreciated as the genial band they were.

"TAD took the idea of playing LIVE very seriously; it was a life or death matter. This DVD not only stands as testimony to that claim, but it’s also a cinematic document of the world’s HEAVIEST band EVER (as Bruce Pavitt so incisively puts it) bodily stretching that assertion beyond any previously known limitations. Over our dozen years, TAD blew circuits and punctured eardrums, herniated discs and damaged vertebrae, pinched nerves and triggered sciatica, incited lumbago here, caused concussions there, a catalog of ailments that we took in stride as occupational hazards—may tinnitus forever unite us—and it was worth every thin dime of the always rising physical cost, an iconic barcode branded into our neural and muscular-skeletal tissues for all time. Better than a tattoo, it’s an open scar that roars, a broken alarm bell ringing from the lost event horizon of a long-dead star, one we could never see—that is, until this DVD clipped it back onto the light box of the silver screen, where it can be deciphered and viewed anew. This documentary telescopes the musical pathology of TAD down into the image of an electrocardiograph recording the minor-mode melody of a final infarct, a demented soundtrack that is neither tame nor de-clawed. It was never meant to be. Dare to feel it, and, like me, risk bleeding internally.

Manifest

Although music is my subsistence, i refuse it as a consumer product massively marketed.

-That'is not music!

Music is an art form, it's not a retail product, it's a way of living.

This is a statement for music as music and against the vultures that use it for profit no matter what. It is for file-sharing and against the oppression and censorship. It is for integrity and against hypocrisy. It is for freedom of speech and against propaganda.
