KILL AS ONE

April 29, 2005

i just got off the phone with mark osegueda, singer of DEATH ANGEL, and he wanted to enlist me in recording his track with DESTRUCTION…

DESTRUCTION MOTHERFUKKKERS!!!! FUKK YEA!!

i listened to these guys back in the day. they’re a german thrash metal trio that came out the same time as sodom and kreator. they fukken rewl! they were all upside cross and bullet belt jockin’ back in the day too. so was i.

i don’t know how for sure it is yet but mark called to ask if i was interested and told him it would be an honor. i suspect chris oxford of DEPRESSOR had something to do with it. this will be a blast!


this is when i discovered destruction (1984)


this is when they discovered me (2005)

chris oxford plays all of the guitar and bass for the tracks and gabe gabriloff did extra guitars for the prologue and epilogue and co-produced the music with chris. andy galeon of death angel did all the drum tracks. chris did all the artwork (including the wiccan script) and his buddy mark from peru did the print. i recorded, engineered, and co-produced the record, but chris really did all the creative work. special thanks go out to kirk hammett of metallica and his wife lani for letting us use his studio downstairs to do it.

we sampled all our top favorite horror flicks of all time including evil dead 2, hellraiser, the shining, and other shit you’ll have to guess! eventhough previous depressor releases have been death and grind, this release is definitely the heaviest most crushing and deeply sky darkening release depressor has ever done. it came quite timely as chris, gabe, andy, and i, all childhood friends of mine and hardcorepunk/metal comrades since age 13, hooked up again all with a common vision to create a classic black metal record! …well, it’s also kinda death… a classic black death record!

chris had already been working on it when i started coming over again (like old times) to toke, listen to good shit, watch good shit, and try to understand his complex socio-political views…he makes me vegan. the same goes for gabe. he’s got a mad library of deep deep DEEP metal, punk, rock, soundtracks, darkambient, deathrock, and muppet movies and makes mixtapes of sesame street and classic muppet songs for ku. ku listens to it everyday…over and over…i’m not kidding! i’m going crazy with ‘C IS FOR COOKIE’ 24/7!!

now that the record’s out, we only need to get a solid drummer person to start practicing with and i’ll be playing bass. will from old grandad/hail satan/other shit is suppose to be the drummer but he’s too busy. i really wanna fucking play! live!!! arrrrggggh!!!
