KETTLE CADAVER "Among the Damned" DVD
Well, beat me with the wow stick! This DVD is simply... utterly WOW!
Similar to their debut DVD, but better... bloodier... meatier... sicker!
It has its epic moments... its disturbing moments... its "how the hell??
and WHAT the hell???" moments and everything in between.
At first I must admit, I was skeptical.... I was, dare I say, a little
worried that it wouldn't compare to the first one. So many bands put out
one great thing and after that, it's all downhill.
But Kettle Cadaver have really topped themselves. What I really appreciate
about this DVD is that it's a perfect balance of grainy film (but NOT 'budget'
- you can actually tell what's going on)... high quality
(MTV worthy- i.e these guys actually seem to know what they're doing when armed
with equipment) and still keeps in with the whole underground art.
I know, it sounds like a paradox.... but trust me, when you see it, you'll know
what I am talking about. Expect to hear: a little punk, a little thrash, a little
Metal, a little Rockin' Metal, a little noise- industrial, a little Black Metal...
and a little hardcore. Expect to see: a 'road warrior' worship video that kicks
serious ass, some 'backyard' bloody- gouging- stuff flying everywhere fighting,
sluts & snakes, amazing live performances, genital mutilation, the aftermath of
some serious facial mutilation and some things that well, I couldn't even begin
to describe.... Very rarely do I ever stumble upon anything that could simultaneously
make me blush, say 'ouch', turn a sort of green, giggle and cringe.
Yes... I do believe this is actually the first.......
