Real Beef (Burgers)

There Will Be Blood

This was a REAL beef burger (bought at a butchers) coming out from under my grill ten minutes ago. Served with melted cheese on top and in a fresh crusty roll, it tasted heavenly! The blood? Well you never see that coming from puny supermarket burgers which just goes to show how awful they must be. You are cooking meat from a (formerly) living creature remember? There should be blood! Or else im wondering just what kind of animal those supermarkets are putting in their 'beef'.
The 'coup de grâce' of this fine snack was a good few drops of Satan's Rage hot pepper sauce which really did add the kind of sting I look for in a burger. Carnivorous Corpse!



Before cooking

Snake's Bile Shots

Another insanely heavy f**king metal meal/drink; SNAKE'S BLOOD AND BILE. And you have to kill the snake yourself too! Oh yes, this one separates the carnivores from the herbivores, make no mistake. This restaurant in Hanoi has hedgehog and even cat on the menu (unsure if you have to kill those yourself) but it is the snake blood that pricked my attention. (Presumably because you can drink it with vodka.) Would I try this? Yes, without a second thought, even the 'tearing out a live animals heart' bit.
Without going into preach mode, I firmly believe that if you are willing to eat meat, then you ought to be willing to kill the animal.
I can picture me relaxing with Crowbar on the stereo whilst dining on lamb heart stuffed with onions with shots of snake bile and vodka. Be like a conquering Viking! Unholy f**k ya!

Thrashaholic!

Fans of old school thrash metal should (this instant) check out the brilliant Gama Bomb, who are described on their Facebook page as "Ireland's premier speed thrash band". Hell yes! Ive been a thrash metal fan since it began and to see bands like Gama Bomb and Municipal Waste popping up to shred the stage is quite a f**king buzz. They first came to the attention of my studded earholes in 2009 when Metal Hammer included copies of their album,"Tales from the Grave in Space" with their magazine. Indeed its the first album ever to be released FREE by a signed band. Kudos to them. It rocks most awesomely too!
When you read song titles like "Last Ninjas Unite" and "Escape from Scarecrow Mountain", you know something special is lurking in the metallic forest, waiting for the chance to assault your senses like a sonic werewolf. This is the type of band that deserves success and praise, not the pre packaged, miming oiks that litter those foul talent shows on a Saturday evening. Its all bout music and imagination, a fairly potent mix when dressed in skull branded guitars and denim jeans.

Gama Bomb's new album "The Terror Tapes" is out April 19 (EU), 22 (UK), May 7 (US) on AFM records!
