Mississippi Ghosts

inspired by the music of the almighty Down; bigger && stock credits here

haven't done it in a long time, so here it goes, some recommendations:

music: Dax Riggs. The man behind the great Acid Bath. After their end, he had two other bands, Agents of Oblivion (awesome!) and Deadboy and the Elephantman (haven't check this one yet), and then went solo. So far, two albuns, easily among the best i found recently: We Sing Only of Blood or Love and If This Is Hell, Then I'm Lucky (recorded originally with Deadboy, but released only this year, under his name);

movies: Mark Of The Devil and Let Sleeping Corpses Lie; this last one is probably one of the best zombie movies ever made. They may be not as ugly and decaying as the ones from Night or Dawn Of The Dead, the movie itself may be not as bloody and fucked up as Braindead or Evil Dead, but some of its (darkest) scenes scared me to death and, of course, made me love zombies even more. Also, the (very unknown) actors did a pretty good work on it!
Mark of the Devil is probably the most brutal, cruel and raw movie i've seen lately. It takes place in the 17th century, and follows the story of a witchfinder apprentice and his master. The torture scenes are incredible and it gives you a great ideia about how things worked at that time between the religious ones and the (not always) witches.

and yeah, that's it for now xxx

listening: Dax Riggs

_{(click image for bigger && stock credits)}

i know everyone has a girl jumping with a umbrella nowadays, but i was playing around and really liked the result, that's why it's here =]

3º. new music:

Cavalera Conspiracy - Inflikted



i've never been a big fan of the Cavalera brothers, but this album kicks ass \m/ Their first work together since 1996, and it sounds thrashy and dirty as the old Sepultura albums, what is great.

Kingdom Of Sorrow - Kingdom Of Sorrow



you join the vocalist of a kick ass hardcore band and the guitarist/ vocalist of 2 killer stoner/ sludge bands and you have Kingdom Of Sorrow.
Jamey Hasta, from Hatebreed, joined forces with the almighty Kirk Windstein, from Crowbar and Down, and the result is a fucking great album, with the usual killer guitar from the bearded chubby guy \m/

4º. what a hell of a movie!



Butterfly: A Grimm Love Story, based on the true story of a man who killed and ate a volunteer victim, it's simply amazing!

Vampira

Sad news:
On January 10, 2008, Maila Nurmi, better known as the legendary 1950's Los Angeles B-movie horror hostess Vampira, passed away in her sleep at the age of 86. Said to be the inspiration for the Morticia Addams character in The Addams Family, Vampira was the original glamour ghoul and the iconic star of Ed Wood's Plan 9 from Outer Space. She was also the subject of the classic song Vampira from The Misfits 1982 release Walk Among Us =[

en la lluvia me prometiste tu sangre

it seems i'm addicted to this song:

'enfermo llegue
y para componerme
ando de vago
no me des tu obediencia
porque te enseño mi cuerpo de lodo
de donde la piel estubo debil
con una hambre que no me deje cantar

en mi vida
el oscuro me mantiene
cuando yo te vi
en la lluvia me
prometistes tu sangre
yo no me quedo

ya que calle de este mundo
cargo un navaja dios mio para ti
cuantas veses me mordiste
y cuantas veses yo me fui
ya no estoy enamorado
con tus mentiras
pa el infierno me duermo
porque el infierno es la unica verdad

en me vida
el oscuro me mantiene
cuando yo te vi
en la lluvia me
prometiste tu sangre yo no me quedo

estrella de la mañana
samael te persigo a ti
y si me quemo sin alas
ademas me muero por ti'

The Mars Volta, Asilos Magdalena (from Amputechture, 2006)
