Music Video: "Ministry: Lieslieslies"

With the turmoil of our western democratic system, industrial metal legends "Ministry" have come forth with a smack in the face of George W with their politically charged (and appropriately titled ) "Lieslieslies" track, from the 2006 release "Rio Grande Blood".

This is their second most current release and some of their most political work to date. Their latest on the other hand, "The Last Sucker", continues this deeply political vibe, with an even more pissed off sound! It is said to be Ministry's last album of original material by founding member Al Jourgensen, sighting that 20 + years the band has run its course. I digress a little. Just enjoy the track and feel the anger.

*Extra: Lyrics added below clip. Words of beauty arn't they!

(Stay tuned for a full review of the album coming soon!).

Lies Lies Lies

"Gentlemen we have called you together to inform you that we are going to overthrow the United States government
Do you still think that jet fuel brought down the World Trade Center?
[Laughter]
Does anybody else see a problem here?
If the government has nothing to hide why are they so afraid to answer a few questions?
This story does not add up

[Verse 1]
I'm on a mission to never forget
3,000 people that I've never met
We want some answers and all that we get
Some kind of shit about a terrorist threat
Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies [x3]
Surprise surprise

Lies Lies

[Verse 2]
I'm on a mission to dig up the truth
You think we're stupid and there's no proof
Well let me tell you that the time has come
To pull the trigger on the smoking gun
Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies [x3]
Surprise surprise

Lies Lies Lies Lies

[Chorus]
Don't listen to me listen to your head
Don't listen
Don't listen to anything, they've said
Don't listen

Lies Lies Lies Lies

America has been hijacked
Not by Al Qaeda, not by Bin Laden
But by a group of tyrants
That should be of great concern to all Americans

[Verse 3]
I'm on a mission to bring out the facts
You got your stories but they all have cracks
Misinformation, lies and deceit
What made you think that we were all asleep
Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies [x3]
Surprise surprise

Lies Lies Lies Lies

[Chorus]
Don't listen to me listen to your head
Don't listen
Don't listen to anything, they've said
Don't listen

Lies Lies Lies Lies

[Outro Chorus:]
Don't listen to me listen to your head
Lies Lies Lies Lies"

Lyrics for the "Rio Grande Blood" Album

The control of an under educated population in a tyrinical media manipulated society!

Want access to the truth of our world?
It involves our own societies, our families, our friends and Countrymen. We are having the the facts manipulated and darkness pulled over our eyes! Corporation & governments (often one & the same) are trying and succeeding to control the populus with mindless propaganda entertainment (TV, commercial radio, movies, newspaper), the B.S war on terror, ID cards that track your every move! Be informed!! Wake up to reality!

The corruption of governments, needless loss of human life through greed / war, manipulation of facts by governments, fact falsifying media barons who own majority media publications (inc' television news broardcasters) & blatent destruction of human civil liberties is TRUE horror in every sense of the word!!

This doco will blow your mind and shatter your perception of our world!
It seems too insane to be fact, but these guys put forward a stunningly convincing argument!
Be warned, once absorbed there is no turning back!

Media: "Zeitgeist" (Part 1) "Federal Reserve" (In 5 parts).

Never understood why we have such turmoil in economies?
Financial markets soar like a bird then plummet like a stone, just when everybody is living prosperously?
Now you will!
This is truly astounding information on how the Federal Reserve Bank controls (& has controlled) governments, society and war!
It is taken from part 3 of the Documentary "Zeitgeist", but I have made this the first posting as I feel it is the most shocking of all!

Music Review: The Amenta - Occasus (2004)

Ferocious primeval Death metal played with explosive blast beats, threateningly fast tempo-ed guitars, dominantly powerful raspy vocals and ambient synth elements lay in wait for the listener of the 2004 release "Occasus" from the band "The Amenta".

A highly innovative follow up to their acclamied Demo of 2002 "Mictlan", The Amenta play with crushing efficiency paving a new force in extreme music. Influenced, but far from a clone of any previous band, The Amenta have inclinations of death, black, industrial, thrash metal embodied in their brand of powerful chaotic intensity. For all its extremity, The Amenta know how to slam the breaks on just at the appropriate moment to provide the listener with beautiful sound scapes of syth ambience before again jumping into a whirl wind of perfectly balanced brutality. This synth ambience too plays a prominent part in the bare bones structure of their raw music tracks, enhancing an already masterful music and helping the band forge their exquised sounds.

Production wise the recording is solid with a perfect balancing between vocals and instrumentation.

This is a surprisingly strong release that is a damn shame has barely made a ripple in the music scene. Hailing from South Australia would certainly have played a part in this, for if The Amenta came from the USA or Europe, they would most certainly be highly promoted and playing with the biggest names of the metal world by now. Lets hope the rest of the metal fraternaty realise what a masterful work the band has delivered with the “Occasus” before it sinks between the dark cracks into metal obscurity.

Film Review: Night Creatures (1965)

In a word, spectacular! One of Hammer Studio's finest works is delivered in the form of Night Creatures a.k.a Captain Clegg. Part adventure, part drama, part thriller and with a smattering of syilized horror, Night Creatures is one big dose of fun!

A terrifying buccaneer adventure involving smuggling across 18th century English Marshes by celebrated pirate, Captain Clegg and his men. The dastardly villain disguises himself as the quaint village clergyman of 'Dymchurch', "Doctor Blyss", whilst carrying out his pirate activities under the alias of Captain Clegg. Clegg’s henchmen, dubbed the ‘Marsh Phantoms’; are extremely efficient at scaring off the locals, disguising a look-out as a scarecrow, transferring contraband alcohol in hearses, and generally sending the town's populus into disarray. Hot on their trail is Captain Collier, the English officer set with the assignment of exposing the gang and bringing them down. His suspicions initially aroused by a mute seemingly tormented by a face from his past. (Note: While the plot proved to be a fraction transparent initially, this hiccup is soon but a faded memory thanks to outstanding production values and gripping story).

The legendary Peter Cushing shines in one of his greatest and most charming roles playing "Dr Blyss", an absolute delight to watch and impeccable in his delivery of character. He is for lack of a better word, flawless. The support comes from an almost as brilliant cast including: Patrick Allan as the obcessed ruthless "Captain Collier", Oliver Reed as "Harry" the "Squires" son, Derrick Francis as the "Squire" and the divine Yvonne Romain as "Imogene", the young orphaned bar maid. Additional characters of note include a mute earless "Fedrret", a King's battalion and the ghostly horsemen.

With a setting of 1700's England, Captain Clegg is craftily shot and had me firmy planted in a totally believable world. Atmospherics as can be expected with any quality "Hammer" production, are exceptional and the film delivers the goods with its gothic church, creepy graveyard, rustic tavern, victorian architecture and fog laden marshes.

If your a fan of Hammer studios, or just after a quality well produced wild ride, Night Creatures is an absolute must see!
