Cosmic Putrefaction – The Horizons Towards Which Splendour Withers

This is an enjoyable venture into atmosphere. The songs are like soundtracks to strangeness instead of being songs per se. Yes, they are songs, but the structure and timing produce a mood, often unsettling, like being affected by a horror movie.

Yes, there is brutality, a distinctly heavy guitar sound, and death metal sort of rasping vocals, but the effect is more than just heaviness.

I’ve heard the album many times, and each new listening session produced more discovery, so if you want to invest in an album that will unfold in this manner, I recommend it.

Deranged – Deeds of Ruthless Violence (Agonia Records)

Much respect is given to this band. I remember when I first interviewed the drummer for The Grimoire of Exalted Deeds he was cordial and answered questions as if we were old friends.

The video for “Killing Spree” is still one of the best death metal videos in my opinion.

I was dismayed when the singer, Per, left the band. I accidentally ran into him at a show in New York and was happy to have had a chance to tell him how godly his vocals were, and I wished him luck with his label Regain Records.

You can imagine how happy I was to hear the new album. I never stopped listening to the band. Indeed, I would support it even if it were disco. The band has earned that kind of loyalty.

If you are familiar with Deranged then you really don’t even need a review. You will buy the album as soon as you hear that it is available.

If you never heard the band then perhaps you are new to the scene. In that case, you MUST get their “Rated X” album, and everything will fall in place from there. It is a death metal masterpiece. After that indoctrination you should get Deeds of Ruthless Violence out of respect, and then fill in the rest of the blanks in your collection.

Memoir of Exalted Deeds



Bill Zebub will release a memoir this week titled “Fanzine Editor, Radio Personality, and Movie Maker” alternatively called “Memoir of Exalted Deeds.”

It will recount the history of his various creative outlets but will focus primarily on his magazine. You will get an insight into his humor. Are you ready to see the wizard behind the curtain?

The original manuscript was 150,000 words, which is more than in an epic fantasy, so quite a lot had to be taken out.

He will begin work on a second memoir that will focus primarily on his movies. He had never provided a director’s commentary, so the book will be the first time that he will reveal certain information.

Both books will seem like a slapstick novel. Bill Zebub makes himself look like an idiot in his movies, but that is because he IS an idiot. There is no ego-stroking here.

If a fool like Bill Zebub can make a career out of movies and magazines, then you have no excuse.

Feel free to Email bill@billzebub.com with questions, or to be put on a mailing list.

Words of Sorrow


Bill Zebub’s first book of poetry and short stories was published on April Fool’s day, but it is not a joke. Rather, it is a collection of the tragedy that you might not expect from the King of Idiots (the head of a record label gave Bill Zebub that title).

The book is published in several countries, including Germany, Spain, France, Italy, and England, so you can go to the amazon site for those locations for more merciful shipping costs. The link in America is https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086PL2C4N -spread the word.

This is also available as an eBook in MANY countries, including Australia, India, and Mexico, so check the amazon site for your region. In America, the eBook link is CLICK HERE.

Whichever format fits your needs, please support this very first work. Bill Zebub prefers reading actual books instead of words on the screen, but he knows that his own tastes are not generalize-able to the public. Both forms are very affordable.

Indiegogo deletes Bill Zebub


Fans who participated in the crowdfunder for Bill Zebub’s upcoming atmospheric horror bombarded the legendary director with Emails asking why their contributions were refunded.

#indiegogo is NO friend of independent movie makers. Either someone over there who had extra time to flag movies banned Bill Zebub, or there was a knee-jerk reaction.

The movie is sold at Walmart! The movie is not porn. No movie that Bill Zebub has made can be considered porn unless you are socially retarded.

Bill Zebub will Email the funders to offer alternate arrangements.

DICKSHARK ATTACK



Verotika

I must preface this review by making people understand that when someone watches a movie, the desire is to be entertained. Some reviewers feel that they need to point out flaws and to criticize despite having no education in film or training in making movies.

It must also be pointed out that any movie that is seen has a sort of handshake with the viewer. Within as little as a few minutes to the viewer knows the rules that were established and either agrees to continue watching with acceptance, or continues in denial, and maybe at some point stops the experience.

I am not invested in this movie. I have never owned or even enjoyed a Misfits or a Danzig album, nor have I ever read the comic book that presumably led to the movie “Verotika.” I point this out so that you know that I am not invested in either the movie, the comic book, or Glen Danzig. I am not familiar with any of the aforementioned art or artist.

Now onto the movie. Within minutes I was able to discern the rules of the movie and continued to watch it as such. I sensed that the spirit of the movie was not serious. This might be completely wrong, or unintended, but that was my personal feeling.

Horror movies have long been considered the junk food of cinema. While there are exceptional movies, like “The Mist” there are nonetheless movies that perpetuate the stupidity stereotype. Indeed, many American horror and science fiction movies are just silly action movies with blood or lasers respectively. American horror also likes to validate idiotic ideas, like tales from primitive cultures being real. It seems that the bigger the budget, the more uneducated the writer are (if their premises are indicators). It is understandable. The most common I.Q. is 100, which is quite stupid, so appealing to a large crowd means simplifying the movie or else risking low acceptance.

Horror fans may require blood and other ingredients in their films, but I often wondered how many times a horror fan can see the special effect of a throat getting cut before the trick becomes boring. Yes, there is a throat-cutting scene in Verotika, but I am not mentioning it as an insult. I really am curious if horror fans can see the same gimmick in dozens of movies the same way that an infant is endlessly amused by a simple trick. If the answer is yes, then the throat-cutting shot will make such fans happy. There is plenty of blood in this movie.

I am happy to see that Glen Danzig is not afraid of female nudity in this silly era of primitive censorship. For this reason alone I will not state anything negative about the movie. I also refrain from any sort of bashing because I noticed that people on social media are ridiculing the movie, and I do not want to join in. Many of those insults are also from people who haven’t even seen the movie yet. The expectation is to hate it. It seems like gossiping housewives, so I would rather not join those ranks.

It is true that if this movie could be a comedy if I invite friends over and drink a lot. It can definitely provide that kind of fun. I don’t know what the intention of the creator was. The movie might have been made in total seriousness, sort of like “The Room” which might actually be the case. Regardless of the intention, I decided, within minutes of watching, that this was to be taken lightly.

If you have a fair amount of discretionary income, I would suggest buying this even if it is to be a gift from someone else. I want to support anyone who provides content that is currently under attack. Fuck censorship, and fuck puritans. It’s bad enough that politically-correct retards are infecting the ranks of metal – the feeble-minded sheep are trying to sanitize horror. Fight them with a purchase of any movie that spits in those faces.

CandlemASS – tHE pENDULUM

When I received this album, the first thing I checked was who the vocalist was. I couldn’t believe it when I saw the name. Johan Langquist . He had delivered the magical performances on “Epicus Doomicus Metallicus“- I held hope my entire life that he would return. In fact, I heard that he was one of the singers who were considered for “King of the Grey Isles” – and although I was dismayed when Johan wasn’t chosen, I had to admit that the former Solitude Aeturnus singer was perfect for those songs.

The first song on The Pendulum starts out with almost a “Symptom of the Universe” feeling, rooting me in the world of Black Sabbath as I try to orient myself in this new Candlemass music.

I must give the disclaimer that Johan does not sing the way that he did on Epicus Doomicus Metallicus, so do not have the unbearably anxious feeling that I had as I cursed every delay.

If you love Candlemass then I do not need to state anything because you will buy the album without question. The only remarks that I would like to make is that these songs live on their own. They are not an extension of any other album. This production is unique to this E.P. so you won’t get a comparison to anything else. You must simply trust that these godlike musicians have offered something that you must hear.

Bill Zebub’s New Horror

The highly sexy Bill Zebub is developing an atmospheric horror called “Sicko” – take a look at the crowdfunder https://igg.me/at/atmospherichorror/x/8486493# and perhaps you might be inclinded to get a limited edition hand-numbered Blu(e)ray for a normal price (Bill Zebub wants YOU to benefit from the increase in value).

This campaign also is offering the PROFESSOR DUMDUM t shirts, as well as posters, props, and your mother. Have a look, unless you’re gay.

If you get offended by that, you’re gay.

Also, if you’re gay, then you are gay.

Sicko

Assmonster and Antfarm Dickhole


Antfarm Dickhole and Assmonster might get re-edited for a Bluray. Both movies have been out of print for a while, and fans have begged for a re-release. If you search for them you will see that they fetch quite a hefty price. As such, Bill Zebub does not want to devalue the discs that devoted fans have collected. Whenever he raises a movie from the dead, it is in a new form.

Speaking of collectors, if you are a true fan, then you may want to get the limited, hand-numbered art edition, signed by the extremely sexy Bill Zebub. This is only for a short time, however. https://youtu.be/7uJLXIdvs40 Make excuses, or make something happen. That is the motto in the land of Bill Zebub.



Holocaust Cannibal gets Re-edited


Bill Zebub is actively re-editing HOLOCAUST CANNIBAL which will be re-named “Die Nazi” and shall be presented in HD on the ABSURD HORROR DOUBLE FEATURE Bluray that is to be released in May.

As with other re-edits, Bill Zebub likes to select alternate performances and camera angles wherever possible.

The original movie was shot in 2012. The 2020 re-edit will reflect his style as it is now. “It’s fun to look at footage with a fresh attitude.

If you enjoyed the original cut then you might enjoy seeing the changes in the new edit.

The change in name also has to do with the idiocy of merchants and consumers. HOLOCAUST CANNIBAL very blatantly describes the movie as ANTI-nazi in the synopsis, but shallow people see the word “holocaust” and jump to stupid conclusion despite the photographs being silly. In fact, when the movie was initially announced, FYE made huge pre-order, but an executive saw the title on the list of upcoming releases and was triggered by the word, which resulted in him ordering the movie to be removed. Yes, that is how stupid some people are, and it has only become worse since 2012. People can’t be bothered with reading a synopsis or with perceiving a word in the actual context. Why are people rewarded for having shallow thinking while people who engage in active thinking are punished? (It is ironic that the chain carried seven movies with the word “holocaust” in the title, and some of them actually depicted nazis raping or abusing Jews, whereas in this movie, the only people who experience atrocities are the nazis).
