Snippet of new Chris Cornell song

by hardrockchick [about 1 year, 9 months ago.]

Unfortunately, it must be viewed in a commercial. And, more unfortunately, what I heard sucked. Timbaland is great and all, but I’m not liking this new direction for Cornell. What is going on? Bring back the rock, man!

myspace find: Conqueror Worm

by hardrockchick [about 1 year, 9 months ago.]

Conqueror Worm, presumably named from the Edgar Allen Poe poem, play some wicked doom metal that is heavily influenced by horror films.

1843
THE CONQUEROR WORM
by Edgar Allan Poe

Lo! ’tis a gala night
Within the lonesome latter years!
An angel throng, bewinged, bedight
In veils, and drowned in tears,
Sit in a theatre, to see
A play of hopes and fears,
While the orchestra breathes fitfully
The music of the spheres.

Mimes, in the form of God on high,
Mutter and mumble low,
And hither and thither fly-
Mere puppets they, who come and go
At bidding of vast formless things
That shift the scenery to and fro,
Flapping from out their Condor wings
Invisible Woe!

That motley drama- oh, be sure
It shall not be forgot!
With its Phantom chased for evermore,
By a crowd that seize it not,
Through a circle that ever returneth in
To the self-same spot,
And much of Madness, and more of Sin,
And Horror the soul of the plot.

But see, amid the mimic rout
A crawling shape intrude!
A blood-red thing that writhes from out
The scenic solitude!
It writhes!- it writhes!- with mortal pangs
The mimes become its food,
And seraphs sob at vermin fangs
In human gore imbued.

Out- out are the lights- out all!
And, over each quivering form,
The curtain, a funeral pall,
Comes down with the rush of a storm,
While the angels, all pallid and wan,
Uprising, unveiling, affirm
That the play is the tragedy, “Man,”
And its hero the Conqueror Worm.

Rob Zombie updates

by hardrockchick [about 1 year, 9 months ago.]

Rob Zombie has updated his fans via myspace about his forthcoming album and film:

New album update… sort of

Well, we have for the first time ever written more songs than we need for an album. Everything isn’t 100% finished, but everything is moving along great. No release date yet.

AND…

The big news !!!!

The one and only TURA SATANA from the one and only FASTER, PUSSYCAT! KILL! KILL! has reprised her lengendary role as VARLA in THE HAUNTED WORLD OF EL SUPERBEASTO! How can this movie get any cooler?

The scene involves VARLA and OTIS from THE DEVIL’S REJECTS. Good times in Monsterland.

I recently read about Tura Satana’s love affair with Elvis in Pamela Des Barres collection of groupie stories Let’s Spend the Night Together. She is quite a character.
