Like a Rose - Ashley Monroe
- Band Name: Ashley Monroe
- Record Label: Warner Bros.
- Release Date: Mar 5, 2013
- Summary: The second solo album for the Pistol Annies member includes songs co-written with such artists as Sally Barris, Guy Clark, Vince Gill, Lori McKenna, and Jon Randall.
- Record Label: Warner Bros.
- Genre(s): Country
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 8 out of 9
Mixed: 1 out of 9
Negative: 0 out of 9
Mar 5, 2013If you've ever bemoaned the absence of traditional country sounds in an era of pop, rock and even hip-hop production, be still—Ashley Monroe is throwing you a country music lifeline.
Mar 5, 2013Slowly you'll realize just how rare it is for a major-label Nashville hopeful to put this much care into every song even if you're not convinced by the one that connects whipped cream and whips.
Mar 12, 2013There's a good balance here: classicist in the Lee Ann Womack neo-countrypolitan sense, yet neither stodgy, frail, nor nostalgic, but rather as thoroughly in tune with modern millennial existence as Taylor Swift.
Mar 12, 2013Not only does Vince Gill's production keep her decidedly on the country side of instrumentation, he understands keeping the mountains in her voice and the Parton-esque shimmer in her airy soprano.
Mar 20, 2013There's not likely to be a more earthy feeling and backward-sounding country album released on a major label this year.
Mar 12, 2013Although there exist exceptions, like the gorgeous "Used" (in which Monroe drops this corker: "Used, like a house where a family lived until they died and there's a soul in every room"), the record as a whole slithers into a sort of unsatisfying middle ground.
Score distribution:
Positive: 3 out of 4
Mixed: 1 out of 4
Negative: 0 out of 4
Jul 12, 2013Sadly she would not even be in the conversation but this album deserves a Grammy for country album of the year. This is the best thing I have heard this year in country; song writing-prefect. Every song on this album was "taken care" of pretty good. The lyrics are the closest thing one is going to get to poetry in country music this year (along with Kacey Musgrave). Unlike Kacey, the Album is not too slow and sad. There are many fun songs on Like a Rose. 9.4/10 only because of songs like "She running me out of your mind" and "you got me." "Monroe Suede" is the best ride in country music this year.… Expand
May 18, 2013This album has stayed in heavy rotation at my house for the past several months. It's an excellent blend of classic country sounds and themes with sharp, contemporary songwriting. Ms. Monroe's voice and persona are endearing in ways not often found, let alone in a young performer. Very impressive.… Expand
Sep 7, 2013Was unfamiliar with this artist until I took a listen. The title song and one or two others are pretty with nice hooks. The rest seemed like vanilla standard country.… Expand
Jan 21, 2014I'm not a huge country music fan. I like to listen a track or two from to time, but this is the first time to give an album a try. And will probably be the last.
It isn't bad, just uneventful. There was nothing stimulation about the music or lyrics. Pretty standard. Good, but standard.… Expand

Google's sly response to Microsoft's Scroogle shwag
21st Nov 2013 | 23:17
We can hear Google snickering
Like all big companies, its fair to assume Google has questionable treatment of user privacy. But Microsoft has questionable taste in its methods of informing the public about said treatment, despite pointing out valid issues.
With its snippy sayings on shirts and mugs, Microsoft's Scroogled campaign really can't be taken all that seriously thanks to the shameless Bing plugs - though it's still of course a pretty blatant jab at the search engine Goliath.
Which is probably why Google came back today with a subtle swing: "Microsoft's latest venture comes as no surprise; competition in the wearables space is really heating up."
Touché, Google.
Considering the company is merrily chugging along with its Google Glass in the wearables department while Microsoft is, well, peddling t-shirts, it's apparent where that dig is aimed.

Giggle and guffaw at these other blips.

Things To Know Before You Come
Current Conditions
An informed visit to Valley Forge will make for a more enjoyable experience. The park has a number of ongoing projects that may impact your visit. Any weather related closures or closures caused by construction projects will be listed under current conditions.
Laws and Policies
Before you visit Valley Forge National Historical Park, please become familiar with park laws and policies. These regulations not only protect our visitors, but also the many cultural and natural resources in the park.
Special Use Permits
Gatherings and commercial activities in National Parks often require a special use permit. The purpose of these permits is to ensure the protection of the park's natural and cultural resources, as well as to minimize conflicts between park visitors and your guests. Find out if your event/project requires a special use permit.
Did You Know?
None of the original soldier huts remain. The huts that you see in the park today are reproductions based on the model that General Washington wanted the soldiers to follow. Despite a lack of tools and the relative haste in which they were built, most served as decent shelters for the troops.

Devonta Pollard, a freshman forward on the University of Alabama basketball team, was arrested Tuesday and charged with kidnapping a six-year old girl in Mississippi.
Pollard's mother, Jesse Mae Brown Pollard, was actually arrested last month as part of this conspiracy, which stems from an April 30 incident in which Jashayla Hopson was taken from her home.
She was found unharmed the following day.

Hall of Fame cornerback defends Browns rookie quarterback Aaron Wilson
Hall of Fame cornerback Deion Sanders stuck up for hard-partying Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Johnny Manziel.
In Sanders' view, the former Heisman Trophy winner is a bit misunderstood.
"The quarterback mold was created by Peyton Manning, Eli Manning, Drew Brees, Tom Brady," Sanders told 105.3 The Fan. "When we don't see [partying] from those guys, we kind of think it's wrong because we don't see it. That does not mean that Johnny Manziel has done one thing wrong. We just haven't seen something of his kind. I like it. I love change."
Manziel has become a fixture on the nightclub circuit, raising eyebrows around the NFL.
"The kid hasn't done anything," Sanders said. "They're putting him out there like he's Justin Bieber — like he's egging folks on and doing wild and rich folks stuff. He's not doing stuff like that. He's a good kid."

Cabernet-Braised Short Ribs with Gorgonzola Polenta and Mixed-Herb Gremolata
Servings: Makes 8
- 8 to 9 pounds meaty beef short ribs
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon coarse kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup (about) vegetable oil
- 2 750-ml bottles Cabernet Sauvignon
- 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons all purpose flour
- Gorgonzola Polenta
- Mixed-Herb Gremolata
PREPARATIONView Step-by-Step Directions
Arrange ribs in single layer in 15x10x2-inch glass baking dish. Mix rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper in small bowl; sprinkle all over ribs. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour before continuing.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy wide ovenproof pot over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add ribs to pot and cook until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes per batch, adding more oil to pot by tablespoonfuls as needed. Transfer ribs to large bowl. Pour off drippings from pot; discard. Add wine to pot and bring to simmer, scraping up any browned bits. Return ribs and any accumulated juices to pot; bring to boil. Cover; transfer to oven and braise until meat is very tender and almost falling off bones, about 2 hours. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahead. Chill uncovered until cold, then cover and keep chilled. Bring to simmer before continuing.
Using slotted spoon, transfer ribs to large bowl; cover tightly to keep warm. Skim any fat from top of braising liquid. Boil liquid until reduced to 2 generous cups, about 20 minutes.
Mix 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons flour with fork in small bowl until well blended. Whisk butter mixture into reduced braising liquid. Whisk over medium-high heat until sauce thickens very slightly, about 2 minutes.
Divide Gorgonzola Polenta among plates. Top with ribs and sauce. Sprinkle with Mixed-Herb Gremolata and serve.
Stick with Cabernet and try a selection. Two we love are the rich, ripe 2005 Blend No. 815 from Joel Gott (Sonoma, $17) and the 2004 Cabernet from Columbia Winery with black cherry flavors and a velvety texture (Washington, $15).

The Fall Plant Sale is just days away. If you haven't already, it's time to take that hard look at your late summer landscape and figure out what new roots you'll need to plant this fall to ensure those bare spots left open by last winter's damaging freezes become bright and cheery garden spots come next spring and summer. That's right --- It's time to "Plant Roots for A Bright Tomorrow!"
The HBG Fall Plant Sale offers a unique, gardener curated list of plants procured from respected regional nurseries, local growers, and our own Botanical Garden greenhouses! As has been done in recent years, the Plant Acquisition Committee has identified a dozen plants to feature at the sale as Blue Ribbon Winners. These prized plants go that extra mile in your garden, be it for their easy care, their drought or cold tolerance, or their ability to attract and host birds, butterflies and bees. They will be identified at the sale with special "blue frame" markers.

NBA sharpshooters Kyle Korver and Klay Thompson went 1-on-1 in a three-point contest following a practice session with USA basketball today, the team's last day of training camp in Las Vegas.
Korver, who plays for the Atlanta Hawks, and Thompson, who plays for the Golden State Warriors, put on a shooting clinic for everyone in attendance (you can even see Kenneth Faried watch in amazement as the two drain shots one after the other — the pair made it look so effortless, Faried started launching shots from the arc).
Evidently the 3-point contest was a catch-and-shoot format with seven stations instead of having five racks of balls spread out across the arc, like during All-Star break.
Korver went on to beat Thompson narrowly by winning four of the seven spots.
Two of America's best 3-point shooters went head-to-head in a shootout and it was spectacular (video courtesy of Rich Twu at LetsGoWarriors.com)

What is going on here? We've got these three dudes with silver chains, big faced watches, flat-brimmed ball caps, and visibly thugging tats rocking Condemned and Disgorge t-shirts. Do these guys want to be rappers or a fucking death metal band? Now that that's out of the way - I am not going to mention this band's appearance again in this review at all. However, I will state that before listening to this I was completely, 100% expecting this to sound like an exact cross-bred hybrid between Waking The Cadaver and Cephalotripsy. It's interesting to consider how a lot of gangster rap and slam-death have the exact same kind of dark, heavy, bouncing-and-bopping rhythmic elements, and fortunately for me I'm actually a huge fan of gangster rap, so I can get down with both genres.
I have no clue what an Epicardiectomy is, but I imagine it's something disgusting. I have to give it to this band that to actually name an album "Abhorrent Stench of Post-Humous Gastro Rectal Desecration" is so fucking absurd that it's verging on being legitimately creative. I will admit right now that Kraanium from Norway are a pretty sick brutal/slam death metal band, and I have a few of their releases, so if Kraanium did a split record with these guys then I will give Epicardiectomy an unbiased chance to kick my ass. Well, lets see if these dudes are brutal..
The thing I most immediately notice about this album after the 38 second intro/sample to the first song "Fornicating In Pulverized Feces" (which is such a weird and repulsive sample that it's actually borderline atmospheric) is that I'm going to be struggling with this recording because of the production. The recording isn't terrible, it's just really flat, hollow, and dead sounding, with muted guitars that are dull and pushed into the background; very similar to Devourment's "Molesting the Decapitated" album. This was perhaps done intentionally to help create a really dark, brooding, and lurking atmosphere and in some ways it works for the band and allows the drums and the guttural, growling vocals to take a focal point. While I was initially disappointed with it, the production grows on me as I listen. As I get used to it, it becomes less dull and gross-sounding. By the time the 2nd track has come to an end and the weirdly effective and fitting sample at the beginning of the third track titled "Gobbling the Erupted Intestinal Mush" gets into motion, I'm used to the production and I'm aware/prepared for what I'm in for with this album.
There is nothing technically astounding about what's going on here, but there doesn't need to be really. Epicardiectomy exist as a band to simply create dark, deranged, slamming guttural death metal. They do a fairly good job at this. This is some primitive and simple-minded shit right here, but something about it just works. It reminds me a lot of say, older Devourment and Abominable Putridity put together, with it's dark production value and repetitive and sludgy down-tuned bludgeoning riffs over even-metered drumming with tons of double-kick and china cymbal riding. Something that's a little bit surprising is that there aren't really as many slam breakdowns as you'd imagine. There are plenty, but it is altogether not over-ridden or infested with ridiculous slam breaks all over the record.
I feel like I actually prefer this over Cephalotripsy, because Cephaloptripsy's production is just so incredibly fucking noisey and hard to listen to that you want to turn it off before you can even really get into the real meat of what the fuck they're doing in their songs. I think I've only successfully made it all the way through Cephalotripsy's LP one time, and even at that I was really, really having to try.
To be totally accurate and precise about this - what this really reminds me of more than anything else is a more juvenile and less good version of that Ukrainian band Ezophagothomia, with a rawer and shittier production value. That's basically exactly what this sounds like.
Recommended for those into: Devourment, Artery Eruption, Guttural Secrete, Abominable Putridity, Cephalotripsy, Ezophagothomia, Goretrade.
Death metal has a lot of coverage for so many different playing styles and feels for each band. This whole side of death metal; the REALLY guttural brutal kind that you may recognize as "slam", is the type that really hits me in the right way. It's the side of death metal that I personally prefer the most. It's heavy as balls and it's catchy simultaneously. Czech slam allstars Epicardiectomy do not disappoint as both these two aspects are heard in their music in a very real, free way.
This band grew a big part of the scene as they played at festivals including Mountains of Death and even scored a solid tour during a European takeover. Basically, they were making magic live years before they even had the chance to give their already given fans a full-length record. Years later, with a signing by Coyote Records and an album packaged with cover art by Tony Koehl, these three dudes made their way off the stage and into the studio to really bring some solid shit to the ears of showgoers.
Epicardiectomy do what you would just expect on this blaring slampacked debut CD. Heck these boys even sound even better on the album than in the flesh, yet don't get this confused with the implement as to say they're "bad musicians" when I say that either. That is not the case, if anything, they inject some new life into the death metal world with this record. What I mean is Epicardiectomy are not one of those bands to just play grab-ass with their fans and rely on live backing tracks to make up for effects and their thereof lack of a bass player. This band employs no bassist so the bass parts on the album are handled by their guitarist as a result. But yet still deliver great sets despite the fact that their live shows are bass-free. Sadly enough though Sergey Gordeev does practically nothing more with his bass guitar than follow along with his guitar chords thus rendering the bass on this album just to eclipse the strength of everything that his guitar playing is doing. I mean there are studio-sampled faux bass drops provided by production just to give the strength of their music that powering umph when required to deliver that insanely violent slam when they want and need to. But the guitar chords are so thick and contain more than enough overtone to rid out the use of bass playing.
At least Gordeev's slamming style is not only catchy, but it's face bludgeoning. Albeit you can hear only his guitar and none of the bass, but he's massively talented at what he does without further to say. Not only the oldest of the band, but probably the most profound at what he does at the time of this album. Drummer Milan Moškon wasn't someone I enjoyed as much on this release as I did on the band's promo CD Deranged Self-Mutilating Emasculation, which was released one year following this album. Moškon's style just didn't impress me as much as he had done on the two tracks that they had on that release. Not only that, but unfortunately enough, the mix job for his kit wasn't incredible either. The bass drums sounded overpowering while his snare is quieter than his symbols. The "ding" sounds he makes with some of the tiny symbols he utilizes leaves at least some variety in the outcome, which is never the case with most slam drummers. Most drummers in any side of death metal that has a mass abundance for slam can just make all the sounds they need in just three drums. It was nice to have some breath of fresh air in ths style he has. Also I feel the need to mention again that Moškon improved almost threefold following this album.
Vocals are really interesting, they have like a very muffling overtone while staying very dark and gurgling, which in turn doesn't even really sound much like a growl per se, but still is a guttural and brutal vocalization at that. If I could describe their singer, it would be to say that it sounds like this guy is sucking on the most brutal and blackest Slurpee in the world. Many people hate some forms of brutal death metal singers, mainly because of "burp" sounding vocals, but here it retains less of the belching approach and more of the "sucking through a straw" kind of sound. I won't complain about the vocals on this release, because I honestly do not mind the vocal performance whatsoever. Whatever tickles your pickle. This album was an enjoyable jam and kept me coming back countless more times after I had discovered and gave it its first listen a few months back. Big recommendation to Cephalotripsy and Cerebral Incubation fans.
It's a bit hard to look on the brighter side of your life when you're an obese slob who is getting your entrails ripped out and feasted upon by another obese blob of a human, but it's at least worth a try. Carnage based album art may have been pioneered by Cannibal Corpse, but with the ongoing flowering of brutality in death metal of late, the once horrific album arts that adorned "Eaten Back To Life" and "Butchered At Birth" seem quite tame by comparison. Arguably the most comically ridiculous scenes of over-the-top gore and sordid acts are reserved for pornogrind and slam acts, and Epicardiectomy has arguably topped the bulk of their competition on the slam side of things with a truly grotesque, otherwordly scene that looks like it came right out of a homage to the early 90s sci-fi/horror film "Mindwarp".
Lyrically there isn't much to this outfit, as can be gleaned from the overlong and overtly descriptive title, but interestingly enough the vivid descriptions of murder and cannibalism are adorned with an even more primitive and one-dimensional musical approach. Forget any sense of flash or technical intrigue, save maybe an occasional pinch harmonic amid a continual barrage of extremely basic palm-muted power chords played at punishly low pitches, this is the king of neanderthals when it comes to death metal, stylistically speaking. The overall sound is not quite as sludgy as a number of similar acts, possessing a guitar tone that isn't too far removed from mid-90s Pantera, and the drums are not quite as popping and tinny as what was heard out of Waking The Cadaver several years back, though it's definitely drawing upon a thin, higher end character indicative of a post-NYDM sound.
There are no meaningful distinctions between songs to be found on this relentless sea of sonic dismemberment, just an ongoing and undeveloped collection of faster and slower sections. The riffs don't really differ all that much, as the drums tend to dictate the overall character of the arrangement. Indeed, what often gives this album its sense of speed is how rapidly the machine-gun and blast beats overlap with the one-dimensional groove riffs. There is no bass player credited on this album, and if one was put in by a session musician, it's significantly buried underneath the incomprehensible gurgling and pounding drums, to the point where it can't be found. Given the depth of the guitar sound, any existent bass lines are not missed and would probably serve to morph this into the same sort of sludgy mess that is quite commonplace in brutal bands of late.
While I am not exactly the biggest fan of this style (mostly because it doesn't cut up the monotonous slam guitar lines with at least an occasional guitar solo or thrashing riff), I can say pretty confidently that this is one of the better pure slam albums to come out in the past couple of years. It's clearly geared towards fans of extreme slash films and gore-infested horror, ergo the people who fast-forward through the dialogue sections in "Friday The 13th" and then proceed to watch the death scenes over and over. Don't expect any impressive feats of instrumental gymnastics like what is heard out of Cryptopsy or Dying Fetus, but do expect a ridiculously brutal experience that will make the "Saw" films seem quite tame by comparison.
Writing a review for this is somewhat pointless- if you haven't already heard about this band based on reputation or that hilarious live clip floating around on youtube, it takes about 10 seconds after the hilarious intro (no idea if it's a sample, but it woulda been hilarious to record if not) to know exactly what you're in for this album. Slams, slams, slams, slamsslamsslamss slams of the simplest, catchiest, dumbest-est variety. If you like slams you will like this album, because that's what it does, whereas if you don't like slams then you won't like anything about this album, because there is nothing but slam.
Fortunately for me, I rather enjoy slam, and Epicardiectomy's take on it is such a catchy, well done, and surprisingly well-crafted take on the genre that it's basically impossible to dislike this. The slam-within-a-slam around the 3 minute mark of Fornicating... has to be one of the funnest, most entertaining moments in music for some time; this massive groovy slam thing that's already sick and perfect and crushing, and THEN A TEMPO DROP. A perfectly done fucken' tempo drop. Who would've thought a bunch of wigger caveman could come up with something so good? That said, it's worth getting back to "surprisingly well crafted" for a second. Not only do our Czech bros slam as hard as early Devourment or Cephalo or whomever, but they arrange the shit out of it. I like slam, I do, but it generally fails to keep my attention for all that long. This isn't anywhere near tech and there certainly aren't tempo changes out the anus but what there are are tempo changes juuust when it starts to get boring, a few million different feels, a drummer who knows exactly when to change things up and just when to SLAM (that massive slower slam in the closer track almost entering some sort of ritual, hypnotic slam-zen), basically it's one of the most retarded, yet well-thought-out albums out there. It's solid, consistently so.
There's still room for improvement though, still a fair bit. For one it'd certainly be interesting seeing more creative use of those EQ effects- the bass drops are simple, rarely done but tasty as- and I had this cool moment where I was cranking it through my headphones and it went all noisy and crackly on me. Sounded mean! I also think I preferred the much darker take that Cephalotripsy had- this is fun, and rather heavy, but it could certainly get a bit more menace into it. Perhaps it would be interesting to dump a heap of noise on a track, or get really intensely repetitive, to the extent that it almost drones? It's a simple formula- so much could be done with it!
I say stuff like that, but then you also realize that Epicardectomy are really bloody good at what they do. If I want dark, experimental slam I should probably just play it myself. Epicardectomy are what they are- retarded slams, all the time. Let's not take that away from them, eh?
If you don't know whether you want this album or not by now, I honestly wonder if you're decisive enough to get dressed every morning. Cheers!
For narrative purposes, let's temporarily imagine the brutal death metal scene as a whole as if it were a human being. It lives; it feels and loves; it possesses a physical body, the ability to speak, and all the other niceties that come with being a specimen of Homo sapiens. Sometime in 2010 or 2011, he checks into the hospital and the doctors, laying eyes upon his physical state, rush him to the emergency room. Over the next few days, he's hooked up to various bags of intravenous fluids, received numerous X-rays and biopsies, yet no one can make a diagnosis which would sufficiently explain all the various ailments he's facing.
Medically, he's accepted that his best days are behind him, by far: as he's aged, his Cephalotripsy cells have become cancerous and faded in efficiency, and have essentially stopped benefiting him entirely. His Cerebral Incubation cells, which would normally serve as an efficient backup, have been absent for a while. His body is attempting to create more, but it might very well be too late for him by the time enough are created. As a result, his immune system is left unshielded from the merciless garbage bacteria that would kill even the hardiest human, were they in such a state of weakness. He becomes tainted by rampant bacteria - "technical brutal death metal", they call them. They appear beneficial at first glance, but looks soon prove to be deceiving: these organisms do not slam viruses and bacteria as the Cephalotripsy cells once did, they blast it. These blasts, within the context of a brutal death metal scene's body, are like vitamins: essential in small doses, but in excess they contribute to internal chaos and general disruption. And yet they are running rampant, with Defeated Sanity and Condemned and Amerigorge bacteria spreading like wildfire throughout his body. Meanwhile, the world's greatest doctors and nurses congregate to debate methods that may save this man. They extract samples from cells superficially similar to Cephalotripsy cells - Abominable Putridity cells, to be more precise - and clone them, breeding hybrids such as Pathology, Katalepsy, Disfigurement of Flesh, and so on. They introduce these into the brutal death metal scene's bloodstream, only to discover far too late that Abominable Putridity is essentially a much weaker, mutated Cephalotripsy cell. These mutant cells are now running rampant in his body along with the technical brutal death metal bacteria, wreaking havoc on his organs and leaving him clinging to life with only the frailest of grips.
The doctors congregate one final time in a single room, House-style. They toss ideas around the table, and most are shot down. And then, one young Czech doctor, who's always been so relatively quiet at these meetings... He has it. His solution is quite simple, actually. Take a fully-functional Cephalotripsy cell. Now take another. And another. And another. Now splice them together, forcefully and with disregard for the potential consequences. It's an interesting proposal, and the doctors are up for the task. They retreat to the laboratory. On July 10th, 2012, the Czech man's mastermind is complete. Abhorrent Stench of Posthumous Gastrorectal Desecration is unveiled to the world.
This is exactly what the brutal death metal scene needs, and nothing else. Watching their genre face sickness and potential death, Epicardiectomy's first full-length looks at it and says "fuck that", except it's being shouted through a megaphone 6,000 miles wide and broadcasted to Earth from space, so in actuality it's more like "FUUUUCK THAAAAT". I typically don't believe in music genres having saviors or guardian angels, but I'll make an exception here - Epicardiectomy is the brightest glimmer of hope in a post-Cephalotripsy world.
I can see the PMs and emails now. "But MutantClannfear," they'll whine, "Cephalotripsy are still alive and well! How can you say this is a 'post-Cephalotripsy world'?" Perhaps it's not. But it's almost certainly a world in which Cephalotripsy have seemingly lost their interest in the BDM scene's conventions, and chosen to take to their own individual style within the genre. While Uterovaginal Insertion of Extirpated Anomalies is probably one of the best - and simplest - brutal death metal albums to have ever existed, their most recent promo from 2011 hints at a stranger beast. Sporting a surprisingly unrefined and barely-held-together production job, and time signatures that almost feel Meshuggah-ish in that they feel complex for complexity's sake, Cephalotripsy seem to be taking an almost Ulcerate-like direction with their music, creating a sort of brutal death metal that disregards the genre's catchiness while retaining the core BDM atmosphere of brutality and senseless violence. It can't be said that this couldn't be foreseen, because even on Uterovaginal Insertion of Extirpated Anomalies they wanked around with odd time signatures more than your average BDM band. 5/4 here, 7/4 there, a 20/4 over yonder. They were still being played within the context of a slam-driven band who took all their pointers from Devourment, though, and that's where the promo differs from it. The material itself is decent, but it's not the sort of stuff that I want to lead the genre into a new decade - I imagine that trying to do what Cephalotripsy do is very difficult, let alone doing it properly. Were other bands to fuck it up (and we all know they would), the BDM scene might truly experience its final gasps of air, as it would attempt to grasp at whatever experiments it could before finally conceding and dying. I've digressed a bit further than I intended, but this brings me to Epicardiectomy.
Epicardiectomy understand that brutal death metal, being a very primitive genre which probably took all of two seconds to conceptualize, had probably reached its qualitative peak within a year or two of its formal conception. A few other bands, such as Cerebral Incubation and Cephalotripsy, have also understood this in the past, and spent their days refining Devourment's early material instead of attempting to adapt the formula to the times. To put it quite simply, Epicardiectomy, and their seven-syllable name, do not gravity blast. They do not riff, they do not tremolo, they do not noodle. They slam. They slam and slam and just never fucking stop.
I was previously familiar with Epicardiectomy via their involvement on the Goresoaked Slamassacre split, and while they were probably the weakest band present there at the time, they've definitely stepped up their game and improved practically fucking everything. Essentially, this full-length is Uterovaginal Insertion of Extirpated Anomalies loaded up with enough PCP to kill a bull elephant thrice over. Cephalotripsy tune their guitars to something like B, Epicardiectomy tune to A (if not even lower). The vocals, while not really similar to Angel Ochoa's trademark drain gurgles, are a sort of muffled, vaguely Dying Fetus-ish growl/snarl that is just as potent (if not more so) at suiting the needs of slam death that is this fucking retarded. Basically, if you told me that these guys had never heard any music in their lives that wasn't by Cephalotripsy or Devourment, I'd believe you.
The slams (yes, I'm going to refer to all the guitar parts of this album as "the slams", because that's pretty much an accurate representation of what they are) are wonderfully constructed in all the various factors that go into their creation. First of all, the guitar tone. It's clear as crystal, it's got a faint bit of crunch, there's bass out the wazoo, and it's just all-around massive. Whereas Cephalotripsy's guitar tone mostly just crunches, with comparatively little bass involved, this is a lot closer to modern slam standards, featuring perfect amounts of just about everything. The slams draw from so many different aspects of brutal death metal that the idea of it ever getting stale is practically fantastical. Searching through the album's composition, you'll find, among others: momentous, fast slams backed by Cephalotripsy-esque rolls of double bass; slams that work around inserting triplets into a measure, similar to classic Devourment; stompy slam/breakdowns which are usually closer to home with bands like Dying Fetus than all-out BDM; and chuggy deathcore-ish slams backed by blast beats. But saying that there are four types of slams on this album is really an unfair way to look at it, because Epicardiectomy do so much to break the monotony of their music that it really should be more formally recognized.
Every single slam on Abhorrent Stench of Posthumous Gastrorectal Desecration has its own unique identity, shaped by one of the above four rhythms mixed with a bit of added flair. This flair comes in a few flavors, from the thick, aurally pleasing pinch harmonics (which are used here exactly as pinch harmonics should be in BDM - as accents, just as one would use a snare drum); to the subtly shifting and changing drum beats, which refuse to laze around and often fully develop themselves throughout the four measures in which a slam is played; to the alternating to palm muting and back from it (but really, from palm muting and back to it, since they do it so often), which throws a few clean, undistorted notes into the middle of the band's chugfests to catch you off guard; to a little extra dash of melody similar to that which early Waking the Cadaver employed, creating something which has musical value beyond a bunch of catchy half-steps up and down a scale; to the nice little EQ effects which occasionally pop in and out of the music, such as the absolutely delicious one near the end of "Gobbling the Erupted Intestinal Mash" which sort of floats through each of your ears, losing all its bass before gaining it all back suddenly with crushing force; to the massive, explosive bass drops the band throw in every once in a while just to remind you how fucking awesome they are. Assuming that the band can use any combination of these elements (including using them one-by-one or all at once), mathematically speaking, they have just created 162,000 different ways to play a slam. Also assuming that each of these can be played on one of four types of rhythms found on this album, that number jumps to 648,000 total possible combinations using Epicardiectomy's brilliant formula, to say nothing about the actual note patterns within the slam that differentiate it rhythmically from other slams. It cannot be stressed enough that each of the slams on this album is wholly unique and memorable, and all of them are worthy of humming to yourself as you walk down the street. Most BDM bands have about two hum-worthy slams on each of their albums; Epicardiectomy managed to build an album out of nothing but hummable slams.
Epicardiectomy also possess a brilliant understanding of how to carry momentum in a slam song. Most BDM bands decide that after a monumental, crushing slam, it's high time to play some dumb tremolo riff or some weak, sparse slam that no one really wants to hear. Even worse, they'll sometimes seemingly drop everything they're doing, as if standing there slack-jawed and thinking to themselves "uh...me no know how to connect slam to slam". Epicardiectomy, being the idiot savants they are, seem to always know how to connect their slams, be it with a stripped-down guitar riff with no drums or vocals backing it up, a thumpy Dying Fetus-esque section with a larger- than-usual emphasis on the downbeat, or simply jumping straight into them when that's deemed the right thing to do. Not only that, but their songs alternate between tempos with astounding finesse. This was a minor issue on the band's Goresoaked Slamassacre material, since Epicardiectomy would occasionally slow down to a slam and then just keep slowing down to the point of self-parody, but the band have clearly been taught well since then - the band will slow down with a slam that rolls in its pace, and with just as much prior warning as needed, pick back up to blast speed in a manner that feels both natural and necessary to the pace of the song. (A side note about the blasts in this album - yes, it is true I usually treat blast beats in BDM like moldy spots that need to be cut out of a banana. However, this album makes them work, because they are not used in typical Defeated Sanity "gravity blast over riff" fashion. These are more similar to the blasts you hear in the more extreme sorts of deathcore bands, like Suicide Silence - they basically involve hitting the cymbals on the downbeats while the snares work twice as fast underneath them. They're probably my favorite type of blast beat, and the decision to use them here on this album, as opposed to alternating blasts or gravity blasts, is greatly appreciated.)
Simply put, the drumming is very yummy. Starting off with the tone of the kit: Epicardiectomy have a serious case of DAT SNARE going on. Seriously, it sounds like a perfect mix between Abnormality's wood block and your everyday slam band's trash can, and this combination works absolutely perfectly. During the slams, the snare clanks and donks, and the kit practically rattles like a coffee can during the gravity rolls, but during the blasts it goes to wood block mode. This is good, as wood block gravity rolls probably wouldn't sound very nice and clanky blast beats would sound even less appealing. The cymbals are mostly very hissy and undefined with the distinct exception of the china cymbal, which sounds surprisingly spacious and clear. Of course, this is slam death metal, so the background noise provided by the cymbals doesn't really detract from anything at all. And the kick drums are also a very happy medium between nice-sounding and too nice-sounding (so they don't really click, but they don't sound like an ass being slapped or a soft, "pffffffft" sort of fart either). Technique-wise, besides the aforementioned blasts, kick drum rolls and snare rolls, there are a lot of syncopated rhythms, where a cymbal or snare hit will be absent or a beat late. These don't make much sense at first listen, but once you're able to detect that they're coming, they can be appreciated as nuances in the general feel of the music. You could also interpret this as a remnant from the Cephalotripsy influence - while Epicardiectomy aren't really fucking around with any time signatures besides 4/4 and 3/4 here, they may very well be keeping the relatively odd (by BDM standards, of course; don't expect Flo Mounier levels of technicality or anything) accents as a homage to their main influence while managing to still dumb down their music a fair bit.
The bass guitar is...wait, is there a bass here? I don't hear a bass. Moving on.
The vocals are good, and extremely so. They're just as obscenely grotesque as one would expect from an album with a title that's sixteen syllables long. They're actually pretty damn unique and I'm not sure how to accurately describe them. I think "werepig choking on a blanket" still holds up pretty well, but in all seriousness, the vocals are exclusively a very throaty, slurred growl that sounds absolutely feral and, well, brutal. If aliens came to Earth in the distant future and found no evidence of human existence except for the audio on this CD, they'd depict us in their biology textbooks not as primates, but as canines or bears. The vocals have this subtle yet ever-present muffling effect, suggesting that the vocalist is either cupping his hands or producing sound from the very back of his vocal chords. Either way, it's fine with me, because these vocals suit the music to a T. Honestly, I'm pretty sure I'd be disappointed in this album if it had any more core variation than it does, so the vocals being totally single-minded really doesn't bother me much at all. The vocalist takes a decidedly backseat approach to the music, pretty much being like a particularly fuzzy bit of background noise which regularly pops up around the slams and gives them a bit of added roughness. That's not to say they can't be appreciated as vocals, though - much like Dying Fetus, Epicardiectomy are capable of delivering some vocal lines that, while decidedly delivered in a monotone, are catchy as all can be. For any other band, they'd sound ridiculously silly, but Epicardiectomy were destined to have vocals that sound like these, in the same manner that Epicardiectomy were destined to be the smartest band of retards that ever existed.
The doctors walk out together to the hospitalized personification of the brutal death metal scene, still lying in his bed and gravely ill. In their hands they hold a syringe, full of a cloudy green liquid. It's absolutely filthy, olidous, and purulent, but the doctors know that it's for the good of the brutal death metal scene that they do it. Forcing him to hold out his arm, they tap into a large vein and slowly push the nauseating fluid down inside, little by little. Oh, he screams and he swears and he squirms, and as they pull the needle back he spasms violently. A few minutes pass and his body is calmed once again. He looks calmed, or eased, as if a massive discomfort had suddenly been removed from his body. A day later, a blood test reveals his Cephalotripsy cell counts have miraculously returned to stable levels. He stays in the hospital for one final week, being injected with the mixture each day. On his last day, he asks to see the syringe for a moment before he is discharged. On its side, in black marker, he sees the word crudely scrawled: "EPICARDIECTOMY". He grins.
Abhorrent Stench of Posthumous Gastrorectal Desecration is most certainly not going to magically sway the opinions of anyone who needs their death metal to be intelligent and dissonant and complex and what-the-fuck-ever else. If anything, it'll attract attention similar to that drawn by Waking the Cadaver's Perverse Recollections of a Necromangler and go down in history as one of the worst metal albums of all time. Evaluated as a slam album with no outside prejudices, however, this is perfect. This is what all slam death metal bands come sort of close to reaching for a few seconds of their entire careers, except in this case it's stretched out into an entire album. Honestly, if you made me try to pick a worst moment on this album, it'd probably be 2:29-2:36 in "Ulcerous Cadaveric Decrepitation" if only because excluding the occasional intro samples, that's the only section of music that isn't a slam. To reiterate: there are exactly seven (7) seconds on this album when this band are not playing a slam. The members of Epicardiectomy are quite obviously musical geniuses who have succeeded at dissecting the nature of slam death metal and eliminating all elements of it which did not more-or-less contribute to the crushing of the listener's skull. I wouldn't be surprised if they take five years or more to release their next album (hey, if Lykathea Aflame and !T.O.O.H.! are any indication, Czech bands that play wonderful music are rather slow about releasing it), but whenever their next album drops, I'll await it eagerly in the hopes that it'll earn the title of Album of the Year in my heart, just like this one did. Abhorrent Stench of Posthumous Gastrorectal Desecration is the savior, the zenith, the ultimate regression, the chemotherapy...and hopefully, the future of the brutal death metal scene as a whole.

The Newsroom: "Unintended Consequences"
- Comics-to-Film: Fantastic Four adaptation not quite fantastic - July 24, 2014
- Comics-to-Film: SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE - March 20, 2014
- 300: RISE OF AN EMPIRE Is a Bloody Mess - March 16, 2014
Aaron Sorkin must be listening. After last episode's dip in this season's momentum, "Unintended Consequences" offers another great hour from The Newsroom.
"Unintended Consequences" begins with Maggie. Let me be more specific; the after-Africa Maggie. She is in discussions with AWM lawyer Rebecca Halliday and her legal team about what happened in Uganda and the present ACN News quandary. The dialogue is quick, witty and humorous, but it goes by at such a frantic pace, I found myself rewinding so I could follow. This is not a complaint; the scene is written impeccably. It is interesting that the lightning speed of the dialogue was similar in this season's first episode between Will and Halliday, where yes, I had to rewind then as well.
One of the unintended consequences of Maggie going to Uganda is finally revealed in this episode. Sorkin gives us a day in the life of a child in Uganda. It is near impossible to comprehend what it would be like to live under constant threat, let alone be a child in the middle of it. Maggie declares vehemently in her interview with Halliday that she is not messed up. But how could she not be. Knowing her from last season, she is a highly emotional and sensitive person. The kind of person who would be messed up from what she witnessed. It appears that Maggie has shut down a part of herself likely to cope with coming to terms with the events in Uganda. Allison Pill must be commended on her portrayal of Maggie, as we are privy to Maggie both before and after Uganda. Her character transformation is as striking as her short hair.
One enjoyable aspect of Sorkin's writing and a ten episode season is that story-lines are not dragged out. Take "Unintended Consequences." Not only do we find out why Maggie has cut her hair (which had far more depth and symbolic significance than I expected), but Jim is off the Mitt Romney campaign trail. I have definitely had my fill with Jim away from the newsroom. Perhaps on another show with more episodes, this could have dragged out, but thankfully, it didn't.
A surprisingly terrific story-line coming out of "Unintended Consequences" was Will verbally slicing Occupy Wall Street leader (oh right, they don't have leaders) Shelly to shreds. After being humiliated during the newscast, Neal and Jerry both need Shelly's help with their Genoa story. An unintended consequences of Will's on-air actions manifests when she won't give in unless she has an apology from Will and socks Neal in the stomach for asking. One thing is for sure – Dev Patel, who plays Neal, can take a great on-camera punch.
It's the small, human moments that make The Newsroom so special. When Will goes and sees Shelly near the end of "Unintended Consequences" to talk about his mistreatment of her he gives her, and us, a piece of himself. In a tremendous line Will says, "I'm not smug. I'm having a crisis of confidence." Jeff Daniels opens his character up in a tiny way and in only a few words, we understand the magnitude of the crisis within him. He is consistently enjoyable to watch.
Besides being the engine moving The Newsroom forward, Will also provides a balance to Sorkin's writing. McAvoy is a Republican and capitalist and is not shy about being either. While he may seem more relaxed than the stiff conservative persona (playing the guitar and ingesting marijuana), he is on the right wing. While Sorkin doesn't tip-toe around slamming the Tea Party, he uses McAvoy to add some balance to his political drama. This is commendable, as many of Sorkin's story-lines take a liberal slant. Putting an incredibly likeable Republican as The Newsroom's main character is bold, something The Newsroom itself has been since inception.

The Artist
It's fair to say that writer/director Michel Hazanavicius' latest film, The Artist, is predicated entirely on a single gimmick. Oh yes, its overall conceit is a ruse, a con, a flim-flam sleight-of-hand designed to distract from a gossamer plot and startlingly unoriginal characters. And it pretty much works.
Since it first hit the festival circuit, this black-and-white silent film has been...
