    I'm really glad this specific version of this video is still up. Don't get me wrong. The quality is abominable. That's just it, though. This is exactly how I found this video twelve years ago when I was 15, stumbled upon this video, and this band changed music for me. It's a beautifully ugly time capsule. I wouldn't have it any other way.

      This man speaks the truth. My first was Bloodmeat, and hell yeah my man, changed music for me forever. Got to meet the boys in person some years ago, and they were the friendliest bunch of blokes. Eating pizza and drinking beer before their show at a little bar called Sundowners close to Johannesburg in South Africa when i still lived there.

    I can't single out anything which impresses me the most. Guitarists, bassist, drums, vocalist, they're all well above par in my opinion. They all hold themselves with such confidence, and I don't know many smoking vocalists with a range like Rodys'. Definitely one of my favourite bands.
