Stalaggh

aight people, this next band is a weird one. i discovered them last night and they have been plaguing my mind for the last few hours. they are called 'Stalaggh', named after a concentration camp during WW2. they added the extra 'g' and 'h' to represent 'global holocaust' they are what is called a 'black noise' band, if you really want to call them a band. they 'lyrics' are done by actual mental patients, and the 'lead singer' was a mental patient who actually stabbed his mother to death 30 times after he was molested for years and years by his uncle. he has as of i'm guessing '07 died from a car crash [the reason i say 'guessing' is because this band has no reliable info source they dont even have an official myspace]. any who there are no real 'lyrics' its just crazy screams and depraved moans along with some choking sounds accompanied by static and harsh noise. from a general consensus most people think this 'band' uses the mental patient thing as a gimmick. but others [i.e. hardcore fans and people who like weird noise such as myself] think its a very creative thought process that delves into the human mind and provokes thoughts of insanity in its listeners. i'm not saying they are a band who's example should be followed, i'm saying its unique. the album i listened to [and will be linking you to], Projekt Misanthropia, is just one 35 min track of screams, moans, choking, ect. it is said that the 'lead singer' was almost killed during the recording of this album as to, and i'm quoting from the fanmade myspace page. this album was recorded in 3 parts; the first being in an abandoned factory where the band and mental patients were allowed to smash everything in sight, they put up microphones and recorded this for 3 hours. the second part was recorded in the chapel of an old monastery where they told the owner of the church that they were doing 'scream therapy' with the 7 mental patients they 'obtained'. the third was the guitar and drums, the band says they didnt write riffs at all, they just went by the recordings of what they had of the screaming and smashing of things. this band is truly a weird one, they say their music is all about their ideology [i.e. misanthropy and nihilism]. this music is suppose to make you feel like a walking meat puppet, a shell of a useless thing.
with all of that said, i will leave you to listening to 'Projekt Misanthropia'.
and remember,
keep the lights on kiddies...
i give this an 8/10 btw.
