Stay Classy, Poostew

The G loved the Death Feast poster for the crazy-assed typeface. I liked because it gave me a new challenge outside of photoshopping Chuck Brown karate-chopping Duke Ellington in the throat. Is it possible to decipher every name?

Two challenges:

First, these bands deliberately make their logos hard to read. There needs to be some mystery involved. There needs to be a sinister, parent-worrying, possible Satan worshipping, goat blood drinking, maggot bloated corpse edge to it. And they also seem to want to out do each other. Look at the far left on the top row. The band’s name is Foetopsy. But it looks like they spelled it using shaving gel on a filthy bathroom floor.

Secondly, staring at this red poster for an hour made my eyes go crazy. I’ve been to one of those Flophouse parties where they change all the light bulbs to red and your rods and cones get screwed up for a few days and when you drive home everything looks green. This was worse.

So without further ado, the list goes from right to left. Links to Myspace are included so you should probably turn the volume down. My grindcore ear isn’t as sophisticated as it was in high school but the songs sound exactly the same as they did back then. And they still sound exactly the same to each other.



Top row:
Napalm Death
Gorgasm
Foetopsy

Second row:
Immolation
Aborted
Krisiun
Cliteater
Sinister
Obscenity

Third row:
Wormed
Aversion to Life
Hour of Penance
Guttural Secrete
Mucopus
Emeth

Fourth row:
Defeated Sanity*
Leng Tch’e
Deadborn
Keitzer
Rumpel Grumpel**
Happyface

Fifth row:
Jack Slater
Putrid Pile
Fecal Corpse
Suppository
Human Mincer
Resurrected

Sixth row:
Grind Inc
Defeated Sanity*
Irate Architect
Dawn of Azazel
Debauchery
Poostew

The Death Feast 2008 lineup is already being formed.


*Defeated Sanity is listed twice on the poster. I don’t know if this was a mistake or if they did two sets.

**I could not find a website for either Rumple Grumple or Resurrected. Resurrected was too common a name. Rumple Grumple just rocked too hard.
