Remember that look on your parent\'s face the first time they heard you playing heavy metal in you room? That pure look of horror, as if you had actually summoned demons through an Ozzy album, and they were tearing apart the house. Well, Curse of the Golden Vampire\'s CD, Mass Destruction, is what that music must have sounded like to their ears.
Smashing techno drums distorted to the point of breaking, and someone who sounds vaguely like Andre the Giant screaming into a hundred distortion pedals. Goddamn, this is fun! This is what happens when you lock Justin Broadrick (Napalm Death) and Kevin Martin (former John Zorn collaborator) in a room together and give them musical equipment. They call it \"death jungle\" or \"scum \'n\' bass\", but that\'s just a name. Buried under all the noise and beats are real tunes. And it is damn good.
This is the CD you put on when you want to scare the living shit out of your neighbors (or get them to turn down that shit-rap they\'ve been playing for four hours straight). But then it becomes something more. You want to dance and smash things, all at the same time. You want to put a bullet into the head of every panda that won\'t screw to save its species. You want to breathe smoke. Yeah! It\'s dangerous! It\'s different-- this is the disc that separates the men from the boys.
If you hear this disc and think that it\'s too loud and noisy, you\'ve crossed over-- you\'re no longer the cool kid finding some new form of music rebellion. You\'re the parent who doesn\'t understand. Once those words, \"Turn that shit down!\" cross your lips, it\'s all over. You\'ve lost.
