hungry for love, and its feeding time!

About Me

Putrid, dark and musty, Once Beloved's dwelling sets the scene for a seemingly horrible amateur porn. The cigarette and bile stench is enough to make even the trashiest, bon-bon consuming trailer park inhabitant vomit with disgust. The midgets are akimbo the whiskey tastes like piss and the members are smack in the middle of a back woods country ho down Deliverance style. Not the kind that consists of blowing in jugs mind you, but the "other" kind, which honest and good individuals never speak of. Suddenly, whisking from behind the stale yellow smoke, the curdled teeth and bloodshot eyes emerge and the midgets disappear beneath the crusted light.
Dumpster diving from the sweaty asshole of Western MA, these guys are feared. Not only from the beautiful and repulsively brutal music they construct, but also for their mere existence on this god-forsaken earth. Intrigued, droves of hungry and equally horrendous fans flock to their shows just to see how dirty these bastards can be. With guitars ripping the melody of a dirt bike jumping 40 minivans, the bass thumping like a brick hitting your face, drums thundering like a heard of pregnant women tumbling towards a free KFC buffet and the vocal abilities which rival that of a feline being analy violated by a gorilla, these guys emit power, passion and the drive to lay waste and filth over every fucked up nook and cranny of the continental world.
With the escape of their former vocalist and drummer, desperate times called for desperate measures for the band. First, they called upon drummer John Gagne (ex Tempus Mori) whom Tyler and Phil found wearing nothing but a members only jacket sniffing abused under garments outside of a nursing home.
Next, Hefay James Hannifanifanifan, discovered a dangerously intoxicated hobo of a vocalist Lee Liddle (ex Screams Of Erida) who defecated in such a ferocious manner that Hefay found him nestled under the cushions of a couch he stole from behind a not so local paraplegic whore house.
So the story begins on this brown note. The defilement of this new group will astound, leaving you choking on dry heaves in horror. Run for the highlands, head for the gutters, Once Beloved has been unleashed and all will be tainted.
CDs are available at all shows, local record stores, and online at Devil's Head Records .
