Since the dawn of music, some asshole has always had an opinion. So, no matter how you look at it, I am just another asshole.

DiRiGiRi
There are very few albums that make it in to my eternal rotation. Dirigiri has definitely made it there! I received the CD on Monday and have seriously listened to it over 30 times. There are are countless death/thrash bands out there that really suck, and should go back to working at Hot Topics and leave the music to bands like Dirigiri. This band IS FUCKING METAL!!! If Slayer and Cannibal Corpse had a child it would be Dirigiri. Let me start of by saying when I first open the package sent from guitarist Gene Olivarri (we will get to this beast a little later) I was in awe. Like, Fuck yeah! The artwork sent me right back to the 80's thrash I grew up on and love. The artist who drew this ( that's right, I said drew) knew exactly what the fuck he was doing. With songs like " Boiled in Blood" and Toilet Extermination" I was like a girl waiting to be touched for the first time. I couldn't get the CD out fast enough. So, I take this CD and pop it in, and BAM! Right in my earhole is this amazing guitar sound. Crisp and dirty at the same time, low modulation, and brief solos in a couple of songs, that personally I feel are lacking in other bands. Not too much, just the right amount and beautifully placed. You can tell by sound that Gene Olivarri is getting out of his axe comes from dedication and loyalty to his craft. He has no time for life's bullshit or curves, only for his guitar. Next you hear the combination of guttural growling, and screaming coming from Derek Dishner's baleful voice showing off a range from a brutish death to extreme thrash. Bands who try to do this walk a thin line of sounding like shit or great, these guys nailed great. The drums on this album are so precise, it is like listening to a machine gun fire off at a range. I only hope that these guys make it out to California soon for a show. I await eagerly for another album that can blare in my jeep while aiming for Old Ladies and shitty California driver. Texas has produced a lot of great bands and they did not stop short on this one. They are putting something in the BBQ sauce in San Antonio and it is METAL!!! Horns up! \m/
