4th of July show

Image via Wikipedia

Saturday was Independence day and the cast of the Morgue Radio Show celebrated the 4th of July in a manner befitting the meaning of this glorious holiday, we all opted to choose freedom!

That's right, just like the deathcry of William Wallace, we sought freedom and, rather than broadcast on a night of festively painted skies, we all got together and went out to get lost in the city's pyrotechnics.

This day would hopefully serve as a reminder to the people that we fought tyranny and won 233 years ago and made certain that unjust and merciless rule could not effect us any longer. We determined that we could live the way WE wanted and without the overlord rule of an insecure and scared government. With this idea of patriotism in mind, it is time to ask, have things changed? Have we remained free? To answer these kinds of questions, ask how many places in town you can buy ammunition. Check out the new ratification of the butterfly law of the 1950s and see how many of your knives are now hitting the ILLEGAL list (in this link, check under "legality" and "United States").

We live in a glorious country, possibly the best in the world, but it will very quickly NOT be as long as we sit complacent with our blind eye pointed in the direction of the government. Watch what they are doing! Fight against what they are pushing on us! Do your part to keep this country FREE so that we have reason to celebrate Independence Day next year and the years beyond!

Those Wacky Chinese...

So anyway, There's this Chinese couple who are seeking help to get their son to quit smoking, right? You'd think that if someone's smoking, they're at least old enough to make it a conscious decision either way; but what if you're two years old? This little dude, let's call him Lo- Tar Pak, smokes a pack a day, thanks to his father, who got him started when he was one to relieve the pain of a hernia since he was too little to handle an operation to have it fixed. First off, how the hell does a one- year- old get a hernia? Second, hey, let's give him cigaretes as a painkiller: that'll do the trick.... and how does a 2- year- old use a lighter, let alone pop down to the corner bodega for a fresh pack? SOMEONE (not naming names) has to be hookin' the little tyke up for his daily fix, wouldn't you say? Man, you just can't make this stuff up.

Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Fest

If you are into metal and/or listen to our show at all, you know that the second Mayhem Fest is getting ready to start up! We have discussed this quite a bit on air. Well, today Monster and Violet got their tickets! PIT TICKETS to Mayhem!

Last year was the first year of this metal event and Monster and Violet managed to be there for the debut, the first show of the the whole gig at the White River Amphitheater in Auburn, Washington. This year, Auburn's show will be the fourth on the tour but will still be as explodingly amazing as any other.

This year, in addition to getting the motorcross psychos, Metal Mulisha, Rockstar energy drink has commissioned some heavy assed bastards to hit this Mayhem Fest! The bands will look a little something like this:

Jagermeister stage-




Monster is eager to see Trivium. Additionally, it will be exciting to see how Seattle based, NORTHWEST ROYALE sounds live.

Hot Topic Stage-





Monster is eager to see Cannibal Corpse, Behemoth, Job For A Cowboy, Whitechapel
Violet wants Job For A Cowboy and Whitechapel

And of course, the Main stage-




Monster and Violet both are eager to see Slayer and Manson. Especially after hearing how legendary their last tour was together!

And, if that wasn't enough for some reason....a late addition was made to the tour, at least for this show-


So this tour looks to be even more wild than the debut year of Mayhemfest...we can't wait!

Radio Free Satan this week, 6-29

Monster covers Radio Free Satan with more tributes this week on The Morgue. Satan's broadcasting booth is rocked, and rocked hard, by the sounds of Gooseflesh as they whip out Sepultura's Slave New World, Luciferion decides to Fight Fire With Fire, Earthcorpse provided some of Burzum's Lost Wisdom. This can go on and on as this show provided a great number of 'less than known' metal bands hitting in with some great tracks of tribute, hell; Burden of Grief and Dimension Zero even found their way on this autopsy!

In addition to these great artists, the metal heavies also weighed in as Children of Bodom redid The Ramones' Somebody Put Something in my Drink, Entombed followed the punk cover format with The Misfits and played Hollywood Babylon and Marduk did the same by covering Samhain's Macabre!

With all of this musical violence, it is tough to do anything more than sit back and listen...

Presenting: THE Ninja!

Welcome, everyone, to the maiden voyage of the S.S. Ninja (blogging on my own)..., aiding the Morgue fleet of destroyers in the murky waters of the mundane world to destroy false hopes and bring Metal to the ailing third- world minds of those who think they don't need the magic it provides. As a rather busy Ninja, I don't often get the news of the world, but you can look to me to provide provocative insights into the music universe (Cuz' if it's one thing a Ninja knows well, it's wailing guitars... and killing). Methinks you no believe me? Observe, and be amazed: As a tribute to Monster's fascination with japan and certain types of vending machines, I acquired a copy of the debut album from The Land Of The Rising Sun's very own Grief Of War, "Worship". In my opinion, worship is what this album deserves because what better way to enhance one's Ninja skills than by listening to Japanese Thrash Metal? With a skillful combination of what seems like every style of thrash I've ever heard and solos like a bloody samurai sword, it's just one whirlwind after another, great for extended swordfight scenes and violent lovemaking. Tracks of note are the title track "Worship", and "Midnight Sun" that makes me miss being a boy back home, where that's actually a true occurence. Anyway, hope everyone enjoyed my tribute to Michael Jackson and were as creeped out as everyone in the booth. If you missed it, I'm sorry but you truly missed out.

If you didn't tune in to The Morgue Radio Show on KWCW 90.5fm in the Walla Walla area, you missed a complete hearse full of depravity and vulgarity! More importantly, why the hell weren't you tuned in?!

Accompanying Monster, Violet, Butcher, Ninja, and Goblin this autopsy were attending morticians Blade, Blondie, and Tiger as well as former KWCW DJs Mikey Mike and Wraithmistress visiting from Portland, Oregon. Needless to say, the DJ booth was crammed with human flesh!

On the discussion table, Violet discussed a local event in which a man purchased fuel from a local convenience store and then proceeded to light himself on fire. This prompted discussion on suicide rates and the economy's effect on said numbers. Another bit of discussion on the table was the recent deaths of both Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson in which, nearly every Morgue DJ had some feeling or another. Lastly, more dirty love was discovered in the Ninja family tree!

On the music level, the show was kicked off with a brand new Devildriver track as well as new Graves of Valor. The Morgue morticians had to work very hard to keep the energy high enough to match the opening tracks and so, Despised Icon, Bloodbath, Embalmer, Turisas, Brother Von Doom, and Einherjer were ripped out, among others, including a fresh one from 1349!

The discussions were great, the metal music was outrageous, all in all, this was another can't miss Morgue Radio Show autopsy!

Morgue DJs unite! kinda

Just as the radio broadcast version of the Morgue Radio Show acts a free flowing platform for all of the DJs associated with the show to speak out however the hell they choose, this blogspot, The Morgue's official website (for the time being), has opened its virtual doors to all DJs of The Morgue to say equally stupid things online!
(Now, finding out if these music munching morticians actually USE this site remains to be seen).

If the devil possesses their idle hands long enough to get them to type their morbid misgivings, you should hear from Violet, Butcher, and Ninja alongside the mutilated Monster...we will see about getting other DJs along for the ride, such as CS and Goblin. For now, well...all you cadavers have to deal with this macabre Monster indulging in mortuary delights.

Rose Funeral review by Ninja

Rose Funeral via last.fm

Hi Everybody! Your friendly neighborhood Ninja here, to fling some throwing stars of musical wisdom right in your face. Are you a fan of great bands like Cannibal Corpse, Vomitory, & Deicide? Rose Funeral's "The Resting Sonata" offers all that and more, rolled up in a ball of bloody guts for your demented pleasure. With crushing grooves and insane two- tone vocals, you have your pick of songs like the cannibalistic "Created To Kill", the blackness of "Left To Rot", or the everyday brutality of "Buried Beneath". The most impressive part of this whole album is the fact that it's totally savage clean through, but when you hit the middle of the last track, you get hit with a totally power metal yodel (for want of a better word); it's awesome! This is a good album for a bad day, and really perks you up when you're pissed off and have to slip through the shadows to wreak a little vengeance on all who wronged you that day.

Morgue Metal this week

Image via Wikipedia

This week sees the maniacal return of The MORGUE Radio Show on KWCW! Now that the summer schedule has begun, so has the metal morticians' reign of terror. Monster and Violet caught up on a backlog of request lists which included metal from Cattle Decapitation, Cannibal Corpse, Overkill, Evile, Possessed, Exodus and more. Monster popped out some trivia style questions to fellow his DJs such as, "What is the most outlandish religion," "What is the single most frustrating thing about the government," and "What do you consider the greatest threat to mankind?"
Violet pulled out a couple episodes of Neurotically Yours from Illwill Press in which, Germain has called the fat help hotline and found out that eating in the bathroom is a sign of obesity. No DJ had admitted to this, though Ninja alluded to it and, through more prodding, we uncover a bigger mystery about Ninja and his lover CS...are they brother and sister?!

Meanwhile, on the Radio Free Satan front, Monster plays some insane covers like Slayer's Raining Blood by Malevolent Creation; Dimmu Borgir hitting Accept's Metal Heart; Emperor covering Bathory's A Fine Day to Die; and Sepultura's Troops of Doom as recreated by Dimension Zero.
Next week will see Dark Funeral and Vader among others.
