About Me

COME MOURN the FUNERAL CLASS....HAUNTED HEARTLAND METAL...PALLBEARER ROCK...TROO MIDWESTERN METAL.......... First there is the ELITIST CLASS (the small and unrealistic, gluttonous percentile, those who unjustly benefit from the disease of capitalism, who shun the poor and exploit the general working population) then stands the UPPER CLASS (those who are well off behind gated communities and selfish shopping sprees in complete denial of the world outside of their mirrors) then we have the MIDDLE CLASS ( the financially stable, mildly educated consumer culture) just below them are the WORKING CLASS (the paycheck to paycheck, hand to mouth majority) directly under them are the WORKING CLASS POOR (those commonly referred to as the UNDER CLASS, who straddle the poverty line on a daily basis) then at the very bottom of the CLASSIST LADDER lay the FUNERAL CLASS (those of us who have abandoned America's capitalistic whitewash and who except death and the reality of the funeral ideal as the only human truth, and here is where true art is able to exist with unfiltered clarity).................................................... ............................ WARNING: We as artists dare you to read this protest laden material. May cause excessive reflection on the ails of the modern capitalistic man, technology vs. environment and your own personal perceptions on art and the mental uprising that such gathered knowledge freely entails.The FUNERAL CLASS(ists), shrouded under Bush's greasy presidential shadow and his absurd, racially and environmentally devastating, body-count expounding war for oil, (bless the the busted Alaskan pipe-line, proving the disturbing yet enlightening point, that governmentally trusting consumer culture is on the brink of a blatant capitalistic decline into a "Affluenza"" inflicted Hell! ) We lie in the bottomed-out patriotic axis of terror. Bush's recent speeches about "economy before environment", more/morte ad nauseum than ever before, nike sponsored feet on foreign impoverished soil. How could any rock band out there in America not be using the gifts of their musically endowed talents to protest and disseminate the inhumane practices of this Bush n' Dick nationalist governmental fuck! How dare those who do not lyrically and musically expose and berate our present state of foreign affairs and our capitalistically oppressive interpretation of "democracy"! Otherwise, if you don't speak out, then you obviously support the Death Of: American soldiers, civilians world-wide, free speech, the working class, students, women and basic human rights in general and any other Americans or fans abroad that might listen to your music...Therefore, you motherfuckers are just Conservative Christians looking to act tough in a closeted scene that garnishes assembly-line, white-power suburban style metal, devoid of art, true hardship, danger or controversy, simply looking to suck off the well-oiled, pipe-line of the corporate cock! .....So, artistically, the CLASS moves within the cemetery plotted patches laid out by the death-rock pioneering bands, the FATHERS and the ANTI,( all within the Terrorist Halloween Collective's high ideals for purity and roots) creating a groove-infused, rootsy, black-tape-crackling death-metal with a mortician's rainbow charm. We appreciate eulogies from all angles, communication is key, see ya at the next funeral!! STAY LITERATE! Love, the CLASS(ists)
