The band Great White in their album "On Their Knees" sings
these words "Knocking down your door, going to pull you to the
floor, taking what I choose, never going to lose, going to drive my
love inside you, going to nail your ass to the floor."
This is Motley Crue. Their albums for Electra [sic] Asylum sell millions, and they are one of the top 10 grossing concert bands this year. Their albums include songs like "Bastard." "Out goes the light. In goes my knife. Pull out his life. Consider that bastard dead." "Live Wire." "I will either break her face or take down her legs. Get my ways at will. Go for the throat and never let loose. Going in for the kill." And "Too Young to Fall in Love." "Not a woman, but a whore. I can taste the hate. Well, now I am killing you. Watch your face turning blue." This is the cover of the new album by the band Abattoir. The title song is about a homocidal maniac, and notice on the cover the arms of the man wrapped around the woman. In one hand is a long knife. The other hand holds a hook being pressed against the woman's breast. This is the cover of an album entitled "Rise of the Mutants" by the band Impaler. Notice the man with the bloody meat in his mouth and hand. He is kneeling over the bloody arm of a woman. The back cover shows a woman with a bloody face at the feet of the drummer. While both of these albums were released on independent labels as opposed to major labels, they are reviewed and featured in teen rock magazines and are available in local record stores. This band, WASP, recently signed a $1.5 million contract with Capital [sic] Records. This is their first release. The capital [sic] item is entitled "The Torture Never Stops." Violence permeates the album as well as their stage show, which has included chopping up and throwing raw meat into the audience. Drinking blood from a skull. And until recently the simulated rape and murder of a half-nude woman. This single is available in record stores across the country. The cover features the cod piece that lead singer Blackie Lawless wears on stage. In this picture, there is blood dripping down his stomach, hands, and off of the blade between his legs. The song that accompanies this photo is "Fuck Like a Beast." This band, Piledriver, fuses together the elements of sexual violence and occult in the song "Lust." I forgot. It is right here in front of me. The song is called "Lust." The lyrics say, "Hell on fire. Lust, desire. The devil wants to stick you. The devil wants to lick you. He wants your body. He wants your spirit. Naked twisting bodies, sweating. Prince of darkness. Prince of evil. Spread your legs and scream. This is no dream. Degradation. Humiliation. Thrusting, shoving. Animals humping. He is like a dog in heat. You are just another piece of meat. Craving demons fill you with pain. Now you are bloodied and stained, hurt and beaten. He will possess you. He will molest you. Sex with Satan. Sex with Satan." |
