Christ Inversion

IN THE BEGINNING...CHRIST INVERSION. THE NAME ITSELF DEFINES THE ANCIENT DIABOLIC RITES WHICH ENSURE THE REVERSAL OF WORD ORDER TO CHRISTIAN PRAYER. IT ENABLES THE SATANIC CELEBRANT REBAPTISM IN THE DEVIL'S NAME. ALSO THE PARTAKING OF INFERNAL SACRAMENTS. CHRIST INVERSION INSTITUTIONALIZES BLASPHEMY. THEREFORE TO PROVIDE A FEELING OF ENSTRANGEMENT FROM THE OUTER CHRISTIAN WORLD. TRUE EVIL IS NEITHER GOOD NOR BAD. IT GOES BEYOND THE LIMITS OF NATURAL SICKNESS. CHRIST INVERSION'S MUSIC CREATES AN ATMOSPHERE OF EVIL SO PREVALENT, YOU COULD ALMOST TOUCH IT. IT HAUNTS ALL THOSE WHO DARE TURN AWAY OR DENY ITS SHEER MONSTROSITY. IT ALL BEGAN IN 1993. WAYNE AND PHILLIP WERE LIFE LONG FRIENDS. WAYNE HAD A 14 YEAR COMMITTMENT TO GRAVEYARD RODEO AND HAD JUST RETURNED FROM A EUROPEAN TOUR. WAYNE WAS VERY UPSET WITH THE TURNOUT. NOT THE BAND ITSELF. BUT SOME OF THE MEMBERS WERE NOT FOCUSED ON ANYTHING BUT DRINKING AND PARTYING. THE BAND HAD NOT WRITTEN BUT 3 SONGS IN THE LAST 8 TO 10 YEARS. AND HE WAS FED UP. PHILLIP AND FRIENDS WERE ALWAYS PLAYING MUSIC AND DEVOTED ALL THEIR TIME TO IT. WAYNE RECALLS...BACK IN GRAVEYARD RODEO. IT WASN'T A PERSISTENT THING. THEY EVEN HATED TO PRACTICE MOST OF THE TIME. IN CHRIST INVERSION IT WAS LIKE A NICOTINE ADDICTION. EVERYDAY, EVERY MINUTE OF EVERYDAY, PRACTICALLY. WE WROTE A WHOLE ALBUM IN 5 WEEKS. AND NOT QUICKLY THROWN TOGETHER MATERIAL EITHER. I HAD EXPERIENCED SOMETHING THAT I NEVER HAVE BEFORE WITH CHRIST INVERSION. A WHOLE GROUP OF MEMBERS THAT WERE ALL HARD WORKING AND COMMITTED. AND THAT GAVE ME A NEW MOTIVATING DETERMINATION TO WORK HARDER. ALL THE TIME I WORKED WITH CHRIST INVERSION. I NEVER HAD THAT FEELING OF, OKAY, I DON'T FEEL LIKE PRACTICING TODAY. OR, I HAD ENOUGH, LETS GO HOME. I LOVED EVERY MINUTE BEING AROUND THOSE GUYS. THE ENERGY WAS RIGHT. IT FELT LIKE I WAS HOME AGAIN. I NEVER FELT THAT WITH GRAVEYARD RODEO. I DID FOR A WHILE AND WHEN OTHERS STARED POOR MOUTHING AND COMPLAINING. I FELL INTO THE SAME MINOTINY. I LOVE BEING PRODUCTIVE AND CREATING MUSIC, WRITING LYRICS, DESIGNING ARTWORK LAYOUTS FOR T-SHIRTS, FLYERS, ALBUM COVERS ETC. THE GUYS IN CHRIST INVERSION WOULD ALWAYS HAVE THEIR GUITARS WITH THEM. EVEN WHEN WE WEREN'T PRACTICING. IN GRAVEYARD RODEO THEY WOULD LEAVE THEIR GUITARS IN THE PRACTICE ROOM, TO COLLECT DUST AND SPIDER WEBS, LITERALLY!!! I REMEMBER WHEN PEPPER KEENAN WAS IN THE BAND. HIM AND I USED TO HANG OUT ALL THE TIME. EVEN WHEN WE WERE TALKING ON THE PHONE. HE WOULD HAVE THE PHONE TUCKED UNDER HIS CHEEK WHILE PLAYING ME GUITAR RIFFS HE CAME UP WITH. I COULDN'T IMAGINE HOW FAR GRAVEYARD RODEO WOULD'VE GOTTEN WITH HIM. AND THE DRIVE TO MAKE IT WE HAD BACK THEN. BUT WE WERE TRYING TO PULL A TRAIN ACROSS THE TRACKS BY OURSELVES. AT TIMES THE WHOLE BAND WOULD BE MOTIVATED. BUT IT CAME IN WAVES. THEY WERE VERY INCONSISTENT. AND WHEN 2 GUYS ARE TRYING TO CARRY THE MOTHERLOAD BY THEMSELVES. I'M TALKING ABOUT WHEN PEPPER LEFT TO JOIN C.O.C. HE FELT REALLY BAD FOR ME ESPECIALLY. THATS WHY HE HUNG ON LONGER. BECAUSE HE WANTED TO WORK WITH ME. AND THE CHEMISTRY WE HAD WAS UNBELIEVABLE. HE AND I STILL TALK ABOUT THAT. WHEN WE WOULD BE UP AT THE WAREHOUSE TILL 3 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING DRINKING A 5TH OF VODKA EACH AND LETTING A GHETTO BLASTER RUN ON RECORD FROM SIDE A TO SIDE B. JUST HIM AND I PLOWING SOME OF THE HEAVIEST MOST SICK SOUNDING RIFFS YOU EVER FUCKING HEARD. I HAVE A TAPE I FOUND OF THAT TIME. I KNOW PEPPER USED A LOT OF THAT STUFF IN C.O.C. IN FACT THE "BLIND" ALBUM. THAT HAS A LOT OF THE SHIT WE USED TO PLAY ON IT. I'M GLAD HE REMEMBERED THAT STUFF. AND PUT IT TO GOOD USE. WE REALLY THOUGHT THIS BAND WAS GONNA BE BIG. AND IT WOULD'VE BEEN. I AM IN NO WAY BEING EGOTISTICAL HERE BUT, BANDS WERE INTIMIDATED BY US BACK THEN. THEY NEW WE HAD SOMETHING THAT NOT MANY BANDS IN THAT TIME ERA HAD, ORIGINALITY. ACTUALLY I REMEMBER A FEW WEEKS BEFORE PEPPER LEFT FOR NORTH CAROLINA. WHEN HIM AND I WERE THE ONLY ONES WHO EVER PRACTICED IN THE WAREHOUSE. WE USE TO WONDER WHY THESE GUYS DIDN'T WANNA PLAY AND WASTED OUR TIME LIKE THIS? WHENEVER WE PLAYED A WHOLE SET OF SONGS. THAT WAS IT. OK, LET'S GO PLAY DARTS. WE HAVE A MATCH AT 11:00. IT SEEMED LIKE DARTS AND QUARTER WATER NIGHT, WERE MORE IMPORTANT THAN MUSIC. I SWEAR IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE. THEY WOULD PUT THE STUPIDEST MOST UNIMPORTANT SHIT FIRST. BEFORE THE BAND. SOME NIGHTS PEPPER AND I WOULD EVEN GO TO OTHER BANDS ROOMS AND HANGOUT WITH THEM AND JAM. WE WERE HUNGRY. GETTING DRUNK AND STONED AND JAMMING WAS GREAT FUN TO US. BUT THEY WOULD JUST GET DRUNK. AND TALK SHIT TO PEOPLE AT THE BARS ABOUT HOW MUCH SHIT THE BAND IS DOING AND HOW BUSY THEY WERE. BUT PEPPER WAS GETTING FED UP. AND SO WAS I. I TOLD HIM, DUDE IF YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY LIKE THAT, GO FOR IT. THIS BAND WONT GO ANYWHERE. NOT AS LONG AS THE MEMBERS PRESENTLY IN THE GROUP ARE STAYING. WE ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT PUTTING A GROUP TOGETHER. ONE DAY I GET A PHONE CALL ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON FROM PEPPER. I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM HIM IN A WHILE. HE WAS AT A CRAWFISH BOIL AT ONE OF THE GUYS FROM VALUME KNOBS HOUSE. KIRK WINDSTEIN WAS THERE, MARK BRIGNAC ETC. SO WE HUNG OUT THERE FOR A WHILE AND DID A LOT OF DRINKING AND TALKING ABOUT THE FUTURE. IT IS GONNA HAPPEN ONE DAY. HOWEVER AS OF NOW HE HAS A LOT OF COMMITTMENTS. BUT HE ASSURED ME SOMETIME SOON IT WILL HAPPEN. AND HE'S ALWAYS BEEN A MAN OF HIS WORD. IT SUCKED WHEN WE LOST HIM. I KNEW FROM THEN ON IT WOULD BE FAILURE AFTER FAILURE. HE GAVE ME A LOT OF CONFIDENCE IN MYSELF. AND HE HUNG IN THERE WAY LONGER THEN HE SHOULD'VE. C.O.C. WANTED HIM FOR A LONGTIME. HE LOVED PLAYING IN GRAVEYARD RODEO. THATS ONETHING I'LL SAY ABOUT PEPPER AND MYSELF. THEY HAVE ALWAYS TAKEN US FOR GRANTED. WELL. ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS. ALL I WOULD GET FROM SOME OF THE OTHERS WAS CRITICISM AND PATRONIZING. ITS WEIRD ABOUT THE GETTING DRUNK THING. I'VE BEEN ON THE ROAD WITH PANTERA BEFORE. THESE GUYS DRANK DAY AND NIGHT. I MEAN MORNING TIL NIGHT. THEY WERE ALWAYS NICE FUN TO BE AROUND GUYS. FUNNY AS HELL. ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY WERE DRUNK. I NEVER HAD ANYTHING AGAINST GETTING DRUNK. I WAS A DRUNK FOR A LONG TIME. BUT THE GUYS IN GRAVEYARD GOT CONSUMED BY IT. THEY CANNOT FUNCTION. THEY TURN INTO COMPLETE BELIGERANT ASSHOLES. IF THEY CANNOT HANDLE THEIR LIQUOR, THEN DON'T FUCKING DRINK. WHEN I JAMMED WITH KIRK WINDSTEIN IN THE SLUGS AKA CROWBAR. ANYBODY WHO KNOWS KIRK KNOWS HE'S FAMOUS FOR HIS MILLS BEST. KIRK STEALS THE FUCKING SHOW WHENEVER WE GET DRUNK TOGETHER. HE'S A GREAT GUY TO BE AROUND. TOMMY WOULD GET DRUNK. HE WOULD INSULT YOU. START FIGHTS WITH EVERYBODY. BASICALLY WOULD RUN EVERYBODY OFF. I'VE SEEN IT HAPPEN A HUNDRED TIMES. PERRY, WOULD JUST ANNOY THE FUCK OUT OF YOU. ACT STUPID, TALK TO YOU LIKE YOU'RE STUPID. EMBARASS EVERYONE AROUND HIM. BE DISRESPECTFUL TO PEOPLE, WHO DESERVE A LOT OF RESPECT. YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN THE SHOW THEY PUT ON AT PHIL'S HOUSE ONE NIGHT. I WONT EVEN GET INTO THAT. SEE WHAT I MEAN? AND PEOPLE WONDER WHY THIS BAND NEVER STAYS TOGETHER? OH YEAH I FORGOT, I LIE AND BLAME SHIT ON THEIR PROBLEMS? WHATEVER. I THINK I MADE MY POINT. PEPPER TOLD ME....DUDE, I WORKED SIDE BY SIDE WITH YOU FOR 3 YEARS IN THAT GODDAMNED BAND! THEY WOULDN'T BE SHIT WITHOUT YOU FABRA!!!YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO GIVES A SHIT IN THAT BAND NOW. AND BRAD,WHO JOINED A YEAR AGO PRIOR TO PEPPERS RESIGNING. PEPPER DOESN'T HOLD HIS TONGUE FOR ANYBODY. HE'LL TELL IT TO YOU LIKE IT IS. THEY JUST DIDN'T WANNA PUSH THEMSELVES ANYMORE. BRAD AND I HELD IT TOGETHER VERY WELL. HE EVENTUALLY QUIT. GETTING TIRED OF ALL THE DRUNKENED BULLSHIT. IT'S LIKE A VICIOUS CIRCLE. EVERYTIME. EVERY FUCKING TIME MAN!!! I MISS THE WAY IT WAS WHEN PEPPER WAS IN THE BAND. THEY WERE GREAT THOUGH WHEN THEY WANTED TO BE. I THINK THEY GREW OLD TOO FAST MENTALLY. THEY WOULD RATHER PLAY DARTS IN ALL NIGHT BARS DRINKING CHEAP BEER. AND I WAS NOT GONNA STAND AROUND AND PLAY THE SAME SONGS FOR ANOTHER 10 YEARS THAT WERE WRITTEN IN 1981. IT JUST BECAME STAGNANT. THE PASSION WASN'T THERE ANYMORE.
THE CHRIST INVERSION AND NECROPHAGIA ERA. 1993 TO 2000. AND STILL WORKING.
SO I TOLD PHILLIP, I'M GONNA LEAVE GRAVEYARD RODEO. HE SAID. DUDE YOU'RE A KILLER DRUMMER AND SINGER. AND I KNEW PHIL WAS A KILLER SONG WRITER AND GUITARIST. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYBODY COME UP WITH AWESOME RIFFS AND PUT THEM TOGETHER SO QUICKLY. SEE, THIS IS WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. THIS IS WHAT I WANTED TO WORK WITH. PEOPLE WHO LOVE TO PLAY THEIR INSTRUMENTS AND WRITE MUSIC ALL THE FUCKING TIME. LETS START UP A BLACK METAL BAND. WE WOULD BE AWESOME. AND WE SURE THE FUCK TURNED OUT SOMETHING THAT WE NEVER EXPECTED. THIS WAS SOME VERY HEAVY INTENSE MUSIC. WITH A LOT OF ORIGINALITY. WHICH IS SOMETHING YOU DON'T FIND OFTEN IN THIS KIND OF MUSIC. MOST OF THE BANDS ARE VERY TYPICAL AND ALL SOUND AND SING ALIKE. CHRIST INVERSION HAS THE BEST OF BOTH. A RASPY HIGH POWERED SCREAMING THAT HITS YOU IN THE FACE. AND A VERY 80'S SOUNDING VENOMISH TYPE HEAVINESS AND A HARD HITTING RAW UNDERTONE. SO THATS HOW IT STARTED AND SUFFICED TO SAY WAYNE AND PHILLIP JOINED UP WITH KILLJOY OF NECROPHAGIA IN 1998. KILLJOY WAS A BIG FAN OF CHRIST INVERSION. THEY DELIVERED SOME OF THE DARKEST AND MOST ORIGINAL HARD HITTING OLD SCHOOL HORROR THEMED BLACK/DEATH METAL THAT HAS EVER BEEN HEARD. ACTUALLY LABELING THIS MUSIC IS KINDA HARD. IT HAS A SOUND PRETTY MUCH ALL OF ITS OWN. THIS UNIT LASTED 3 AND A HALF YEARS. AND TO THIS DAY REMAINS UNTOUCHABLE. THEY ALSO IN THIS ERA OF NECROPHAGIA WERE INDUCTED INTO THE HORROR HALL OF FAME AND DID SOMETHING THAT NO BAND HAS EVER DONE BEFORE...THEY APPEARED ON 3 DIFFERENT DVD RELEASES OF SOME OF THE BIGGEST CULT FOLLOWING HORROR FILMS IN CINEMA HISTORY. LUCIO FULCI'S "THE BEYOND","ROGER WATKIN'S "LAST HOUSE ON DEAD END STREET", AND FINALLY..."CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST". THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS ALWAYS PREDICTED BUT NEVER EXPECTED. THESE MOVIES WERE MADE BY DIRECTORS WHO DEVELOPED A CULT FOLLOWING. AND NECROPHAGIA WAS THERE FIRST CHOICE IN RE-RELEASING THESE MOVIES TO DVD. A GREAT HONOR FOR US, EXCLAIMED PHILLIP AND WAYNE. A DVD HORROR VIDEO DOCUMENTARY CALLED (THROUGH EYES OF THE DEAD) WAS SOON AFTER RELEASED.DIRECTED BY THE INFAMOUS HORROR AND EXPLOITATION FILM DIRECTOR... JIM VANBEBBER. A FILM THAT SHITTED THE PANTS OFF OF MANY PEOPLE. THIS ERA OF NECROPHAGIA WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN AND WILL NEVER BE TOPPED. IT WAS PHENOMENAL. SO PHILLIP AND WAYNE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED QUITE A HANDFUL OF PROJECTS THROUGH OUT THE LAST DECADE. AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW. WAYNE IS CURRENTLY WRITING NEW MATERIAL FOR A NEW RELEASE FROM CHRIST INVERSION CALLED... WHERE FIRES ENGULF THE DAMNED. JUDGING FROM THE REHEARSAL STUFF I'VE HEARD. IT'S RAW AND EXTREMELY HEAVY DOOM. SOME NEW SONGS ARE.. INFERNAL NECROMANCY UPON GRAVES OF THE DEAD PARTHENOPHAGIC WEREWOLF CHILD RAPIST WHERE FIRES ENGULF THE DAMNED
