CRACKHOUSE - Still Alive
Horror Pain Gore Death Productions
One the fall outs of the modern metal scene is the encroaching lack of a sense of humor amongst listeners. I blame that on hipsters and weak shit over serious liberal types afraid to laugh less they look offensive to others. Oh sure it's easy to shoot typical fish in the barrel for an easy laugh (ie: politicians and religious types). But for me anything is a target of opportunity because extreme music is suppose to be fun as well as dangerous.
CRACK HOUSE from Philadelphia (aka: Hostile City USA or Filthadelphia) are pure fuckin scum punk/metal in their approach to their craft and crack is their muse.This is pretty much a fake live album and it's great as well as funny. Yes being insulting is funny and bands from Philly (a place I know well) have always had a knack for it. RANCID VAT comes to mind although these guys (ok, their promo) cite GG ALLIN as well as THE DWARVES, MIDNIGHT and NEKROFILTH as influences. Speaking of Philly bands I just saw old friends THORAZINE last weekend.
But getting back to this, CRACK HOUSE are a four piece act who mix old hardcore with grind and some thrash into what they call Crack Rock n Roll. It's an easy shtick to follow. On here they let loose with eleven cuts some old and a few newer ones all recorded in what they say was "an abandoned building in north Philadelphia". Then the recording was engineered at the studio which added the audience sounds like a classic 70's live album. Years ago when my friend Andy & I started Scumfeast Zine, this is the type of band we use to love promoting. Total fuckin scum, ya gotta love it and it's strictly limited to 100 copies.
