N.W.O.K.H.M.!!!!!

Meet Method and despite their hilariously cheesy cover art, these ghoulish Seoul progenitors of the 'New Wave of Korean Heavy Metal' scene deliver some of the most epic and amazing Death Metal I've heard in a looonng time. Pelvis obliterating solos, brutal vocals, and mindocaustingly destructive energy along the likes of At the Gates, they've got it all any D.M. fan would want, and then some. Check out their 2006 debut and get ready to get your K.H.M. on!

RPKDM!

-P.S. Bonus live studio cover of "Slaughter of the Soul."

Perspective (is weird.)

Today is the day, one year ago I started my ultimately abortive job prospects at CityLife, which promptly ended nearly three-months to the day I started them. If you would have asked me where I thought I'd be a year from now, it would be hard for me to say that I'd be in Korea teaching English and trying on a daily basis not to die in literally the most accident prone country on Earth. I had everything, yet nothing; and now, I have nothing, yet everything. It's a total mindfuck. Ok. now that the emo-air is clear, here's about the two coolest pictures I've taken since I got here, five months ago to the day.

A bunch of photos from a bunch of stuff that is unrelated in Seoul and Deagu, but also because I didn't organize anything at all this month.

10

Another one from the awesome music weekend in Seoul that brought us Henna Dress. 10 is the project of a Japanese guy and a Korean girl who make some wickedly infectiously groovy avant pop. If that's not enough, think what would happen if Ikue Mori and Yoko Ono had a love child with Merzbow. A must have for any avant rock and/or noise fans.

Henna Dress

Henna Dress is a little awesome Japanese woman who plays some of the coolest lo-fi minimal Nintendo noise you will ever hear. Her hypnotic songs punctuated with everything from low, low, low bass lines to tinny and pretty blips and bloops is so infectiously beautiful, it's jaw dropping. I had a chance to see her in Daegu in Seoul last weekend and Henna said it would be cool if I put her 2009 release "MySpace Diary Excerpts, 2007-2009" up here on the DeadScow, so check this out and be amazed at what I like to call the soundtrack of modern Asia.
