From The Desk Of Toxic Holocaust: “Tim And Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie”

ToxicHolocaustLogoogoWith the new Chemistry Of Consciousness (Relapse), frontman Joel Grind expands the Toxic Holocaust sound, explodes it with color and textures that seem more vibrant than the none-more-blackness of 2011’s Conjure And Command. The speed and righteous indignation of artists like Discharge and G.B.H. combine with the massive mixdown and mastering by heavy-music maven and Converge guitarist Kurt Ballou, creating a juggernaut of an album, a record that fires on all cylinders all the time. “Awaken The Serpent,” “Mkultra” and “Out Of The Fire” smack the listener upside the head like the wayward boot of an especially surly crowd surfer. Bassist Phil Zeller will be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our recent Toxic Holocaust feature.

Zeller: I know that when people think of the tastes of a metal dude, they think gore, horror and dark psychological thrillers. I mean, I love those flicks, but I need to get away from the cliches here. Anyone that has ever spent any time around us will quickly realize that our sense of humor amongst the band is, how can I say it, a little skewed?!? OK, it can be downright juvenile and stupid. That’s where this movie comes into play. Head-scratching humor to say the least and plenty of pee and poo jokes to keep my twisted mind entertained. Every time I watch it, I find myself laughing more and more. Some great cameos in this movie as well. Another movie in this style that would be a close runner-up for me would be Tom Green’s Freddy Got Fingered. Now you know my cinematic taste, which would almost be no taste at all! Warning: This flick is not for everybody! Shrim begin?
