Especially Likely Sloth "But if What He'll What Ant" CD
[Vendlus]
Especially Likely Sloth has very strange goals and an even stranger purpose. This is the most uncompromisingly brutal CD you'll ever hear! Words cannot express the sheer magnitude of this brutal piece of utterly brutal brutality! Guaranteed to make you shit your pants within 10 seconds! Band leader Jason Walton (best known for his project Nothing and his work with Sculptured and Agalloch) claims to be possessed by an eight-year-old mentally handicapped child named Chriss Cobb when composing and performing the music of Especially Likely Sloth. An absolutely barbarous, bloodthirsty, callous, ferocious, gruff, hard, harsh, heartless, impolite, inhuman, insensitive, merciless, pitiless, remorseless, rough, rude, ruthless, savage, severe, uncivil, uncivilized, unfeeling, unmannerly, unmerciful, vicious slab of completely brutal brutalness... the likes of which new synonyms for brutal need to be created! He states that the goal of Chriss Cobb is to preach the gospel of the new hell - the hell that exists now after Satan had revamped it to make it more torturous - and Especially Likely Sloth is Chriss' vehicle for this message. Once upon a time there lived a king and a queen, who were rich, and had everything they wanted, but no children. The queen lamented over this day and night, and said, "I am like a field on which nothing grows." At last God gave her her wish, but when the child came into the world, it did not look like a human child, but was a little donkey. When the mother saw that, her lamentations and outcries began in real earnest. She said she would far rather have had no child at all than have a donkey, and that they were to throw it into the water that the fishes might devour it. But the king said, "No, since God has sent him he shall be my son and heir, and after my death sit on the royal throne, and wear the kingly crown." The donkey, therefore, was brought up and grew bigger, and his ears grew up high and straight. And he was of a merry disposition, jumped about, played and took especial pleasure in music, so that he went to a celebrated musician and said, teach me your art, that I may play the lute as well as you do. Let's put the "X" in BMX! Dig it! Apparently, Satan thought that because the world has become fraught with violence, famine and disease, that hell started to pale in comparison and something needed to be done to make hell a threat again. Brutally brutal brutality! (???/10)
