Metal Monday Volume 118 (4.15.13)

Metal Monday Volume 118 (4.15.13)

Rob Zombie has been a hit or miss artist for years now. At least for me, nothing he ever produced musically after 2001’s  The Sinister Urge has been as solid as his late White Zombie work and early solo releases. That’s not to say he’s put out bad albums or singles, it just felt like nothing had that spark or focus that his earlier output had. Perhaps directing was a distraction as well considering that Sinister’s… follow up Educated Horses took […]

Spin Cycle: John5’s God Told Me To

John5 is a well-known metal guitarist who tried out for Marilyn Manson not once, but twice. On the second shot, he ended up getting the gig. If that doesn’t show dedication (or delusion), I’m not sure what does. John5’s newest album is titled God Told Me To. What exactly God told John5 to do remains to be seen. On God Told Me To, there are two distinct playing styles: one electric, the other acoustic. The electric songs seem to have been […]

Spin Cycle: Marilyn Manson's "Born Villain"

Spin Cycle: Marilyn Manson’s “Born Villain”

Born Villain, Manson’s eighth studio album in 16 years, is a triumphant return to form and a gem in the discography of an artist who has never compromised for anyone except himself. In my mind and ears, this should have been Manson’s fourth proper album.  While Golden Age of Grotesque was a somewhat interesting experiment with Tim Skold, Twiggy Ramirez’s (Jeordie White) absence over the course of the next four years (and couple of albums) was duly noted.  […]

The Blerd & Gonzo Cover Convo: “Tainted Love”

Blerd: you there? Gonzo: give me a munte…er…a minute. I want nothing to with a munte. B: That sounds like an exotic animal. G: Yes, you don’t want that thing to burrow into your skin. B: It was a red and black munte; the deadliest munte in the world! Next on Animal Planet! G: Black and red are the worst kind! OK, let’s get down to business. it’s been a mighty long time. B: It has! Where’ve you been? G: First, […]

Tim Skold Certainly Doesn’t “Suck”.

It is so hard to type this without mentioning how brilliant the full-length is but you’re gonna have to wait for that column for a few weeks. If you’ve been a fan of either Marilyn Manson or KMFDM during the last 15 years, chances are you know who Tim Skold is already. For me, I discovered his S/T album while shopping at Mystery Train Records on Newbury Street. He was an integral part of two of my favorite KMFDM records (Symbols and […]
