You're Mom Would Cry if she found out that You Listen to Black Santa.
People that have seen/heard Black Santa live have been known to Involuntarily Deficate Themselves, Explode, Evaporate, Spontaniously Combust, Become Straight, Becaome Gay, Die, Leave because they Can't Handle the Awsomness, have their Arms and Legs Blown Off of their Body by the Air being Pushed by the Amps, and/or decide that maybe there is still a chance for Good Music to exist in this era while the world of the Corporate Media continuously Churns Out Crap.
Knifight/Black Santa split cassette reviewed by BB of Cassette Gods on Saturday Nov. 10, 2007
"Mysterious no-label split tape between two bands I've never even heard the names of. The Knifight side halfway reminds me of super early Yellow Swans CDRs, roiling in that purgatorial turf between industrial, noise, and ambient. The main difference is the violent, looping black metal growl-vocals careening back and forth in the speakers, which at first threaten to overshadow everything else but eventually back off until they're just another instrument, pitching about in the negative energy along with the drum machine pulses and stuttering feedback blasts. Pretty cool overall (except for this one sample of some Hitlerian dictator orating that pops up in the middle), and would definitely appeal to a solid faction of Cassette Gods readers I bet. But it's the Black Santa side that hits deeper for me for some reason. A real bedroom horror movie of stalker bass riffing, slaughtered shrieks, plodding doom grooves, metal brooding, bad vibes, etc, all executed in a really raw, DIY "heavy" way that's sort of in the ballpark of Sasqrotch or something. The distortion vocals could be scaled back a bit, but that's nitpicking. Both dudes/bands should definitely soldier on though, there's promise here."
We obviously listen to Rush.
"I'd asked if i could play drums for Black Santa a while back, but they said they didn't want one and that Foo Fighters suck and that if i had reformed SCREAM then maybe they would've thought about it." - Dave Grohl on druming for Black Santa
