There is a new heavy metal titan  that&#8217;s landed in the world, Dennerz. They go by the name of SKRIBBLE. It seems  as if\u00a0the ole pointy tailed one himself, Satan, dropped some of his seed in  Sacramento,\u00a0California and spawned one of the\u00a0meaner, nastier, pissed off young  heavy music acts the city of Los Angeles and The Whisky A Go Go have seen quite  possibly since Suicidal Tendencies literally destroyed\u00a0the ole Country Club back  in the\u00a0mid-80&#8217;s, cause of a riot my big brother happened to of started. The  legendary tale on that one ends up with\u00a0Cyco Mike Muir of ST driving a cadillac  through the back of the joint after all the bouncers had been either\u00a0knocked the  hell out by the raging ST mob of\u00a0pissed off fans&#8230; (it all began with a smaller  ST boy getting manhandled by a big steroid-using security guard) or they were  literally being held captive in the corner of the club, fearing for their  perfect little bones.<\/p>\n<p>What made this shit-kicking, unrelenting display of fury so poignant for me  was that I thought\u00a0the opening band, IQ whatever-the-hell,\u00a0here this night  deserved to be slapped with an over-sized Polish sausage (one-by-one) in the  face, liken it to a Three Stooges bit, and then when they&#8217;ve all been duly  brought to the &#8216;blacked out unconscious&#8217; state intended, they&#8217;d be deposited in  the nearest goddamn dumpster. Period.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"j\" src=\"http:\/\/img20.imageshack.us\/img20\/896\/tmdpromo435x75it9.gif\" alt=\"j\" width=\"435\" height=\"75\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Whisky A Go Go needs to start working on booking more quality talent and  not just allowing any garage band in the neighborhood to get up onto a legendary  stage made famous by the like of Guns N Roses, The Doors\u00a0and Motley Crue.<\/p>\n<p>Skribble is clearly a black\/death metal band unrivaled, with the exception of  Goatwhore and Daath, amid each genres freshest crop of budding talents.  Featuring a lineup of musicians that are a mirror reflection of the angry youth  of today that are growing up quick in George W&#8217;s regime of world hatred. This  band is not a home-starter-kit that just showed up to get played with either,  they&#8217;ve already shared the stage with notable underground giants\u00a0such as  Cryptopsy, God Forbid,\u00a0Bleed the Sky, Goatwhore and\u00a0Skinlab to drop just a few  on you all. The band launched into a diabolical track called &#8216;Steel Curtain&#8217; to  get it started right. And the crowd here this night ate it up from note one and  craziness broke out immediately with swirling and flailing bodies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"ctl00_Main_ucImageView_imgUserImage\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border-width: 0px; width: 223px; height: 285px;\" src=\"http:\/\/myspace-803.vo.llnwd.net\/01225\/30\/86\/1225646803_l.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"223\" height=\"285\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Russ &#8216;The Beast&#8217; of Skribble<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Russ on lead guitar is called &#8216;The Beast&#8217; and appropriately so, for this  longhaired dude looks like Dimebag if he was\u00a0much taller with a shorter, less  the red dye,\u00a0goatee&#8230; and plays like the fallen guitar God if he was jacked up  on\u00a0enough meth to stop a water buffalo in its own footsteps.\u00a0Up next the band  ripped through &#8216;Vomitorium&#8217; and were able to actually pick up the frenetic pace  they established by blowing everyone&#8217;s head off with the opening tune. That&#8217;s  not easy to do. As a professional critic, when you see that and you have seen  all the great metal acts over twenty five plus years as I have, well&#8230; you  fuckin get a rock hard erection for the band you&#8217;re now head banging too. The  band and crowd seemed to get more energetic with each moving moment, if one can  believe that. The other guitarist, Cody, along with Jeff on bass and the high  octane-fueled drumming from Hades of some &#8216;let all shit cut loose&#8217; dude that&#8217;s  been named Mike in the world but shoulda been christened &#8216;The Pulverizer&#8217; at  birth, were great to watch as they seemed all genuinely well received by every  eyeball in the room\u00a0quickly consumed by their extreme form of musical chaos.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/photobucket.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"width: 175px; height: 211px;\" src=\"http:\/\/i43.photobucket.com\/albums\/e393\/kode1ne\/chadsmallcopy.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting\" width=\"175\" height=\"211\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You would think at some point, people would start passing out from the  constant,\u00a0unrelenting\u00a0exahustion. I know I was ready to nearly lose all my  senses at one point&#8230; and goddamit, I was only watching all of it from the  upstairs level of the club. Next the band torched us all with &#8216;Newest Song&#8217;,  &#8216;Revengence&#8217; and then &#8216;Grotesque Mutiliation&#8217;, which seemed to be the crowd  favorite as it certainly was mine. They\u00a0were two fronters vocally for the band  led by a sinner, Chad, and an even &#8216;more darkened beyond his years&#8217; singer named  Mike, both raging maniacs seeming to have enough combined stage presence to  spare the next fifty mopes that take the platform here in the future. Both of  them were incredible to watch, displaying uncanny talent to just take over  everyone&#8217;s minds and imaginations around them. The band&#8217;s literal &#8216;Electric  Funeral&#8217; was ended with two of the angriest, venom-filled tunes you&#8217;re ever  going to witness live, entitled &#8216;139&#8217;<br \/>\n&#8216;B.T.K. (bind.torture.kill.)&#8217;. All in  all I walked away from this scratching my chin, asking myself: &#8220;Did I just  witness the new Superjoint\u00a0Ritual of the metal world?&#8221; Indeed, I\u00a0did.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/photobucket.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/i43.photobucket.com\/albums\/e393\/kode1ne\/chrissmallcopy.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting\" width=\"165\" height=\"202\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/skribbleabusivemetal\">http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/skribbleabusivemetal<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/ruinsofoldmanagement\">http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/ruinsofoldmanagement<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/ruinsofoldmanagement\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"j\" src=\"http:\/\/img20.imageshack.us\/img20\/896\/tmdpromo435x75it9.gif\" alt=\"j\" width=\"435\" height=\"75\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let me\u00a0please cut to the chase right\u00a0now.
