Pope Goat VII - Book of VII Commandments

(Photo by Sir Ackronomicon)

I'm really excited to post this, as I haven't heard it since we recorded it 11 years ago.

This was the last book of Pope Goat VII to be recorded in my mom's house before Sir Ackronomicon and I set up our domain in The Blue Room. Quite honestly, I don't remember much about this recording session, probably due to intoxication, but I do remember it being the first time I used my guitar for the Pope Goat and that we were screaming through most of it. Listening to it now, it sounds like a cross between Throbbing Gristle, Whitehouse and Acid Mothers Temple.

Of course, it was supposed to be 10 Commandments, but we moved before recording the last three Commandments, and by that time, the Pope Goat commanded us to start fresh, with the Book of New Surroundings.

Necroparthenophagy - "Laiad Chis Ananael"

My work schedule has been eating up all my time, but I'm taking some time out to celebrate.

Today marks the official release of my black metal album on Winged Disk Records. Oddly enough, out of all the music I've recorded since I was 17, this is the first thing that anyone as wanted to release with their own money. Special thanks to Rich Black at Winged Disk for his continued support and guidance.

For contractual reasons, I won't be posting the entire album here, but I will post the title track, which has become a "single" of sorts in the digital domain.
