Crabcore.
The words strikes fear in the hearts of music lovers everywhere. Little tweenie punks in black v-necks squatted down chugging palm muted open strings while synth noodles in the background. blech!
When faced with mixing the brutality of !mypetoctopus with the silliness and overall awfulness of crabcore, my friend and I smiled at each other and got to work.
The result was a brutal assault on the ears called "Get Your Face on the Dance Floor." Silly name, but hey...we are a silly band.
The song features a synth lick that is repeated throughout the song, epic palm mutes, dissonance, and riffs, and a techno break that will get anyone dancing. This song is considered our 2nd most popular song next to "Piss Dungeon," our "breakthrough" "single." (Lots of quote marks because the legitimacy of this band is questionable at best) :D
As our second song put on the myspace, we were still rusty. We were finding our niche in the metal world. Would we continue down crabcore lane, or go somewhere a bit...warmer?
Stay tuned to find out!
Cheers,

EDIT: I am absolutely blown away by all of the positive comments on what is essentially a side project to bide my time. It truly means a lot!
