ELIO AND THE TIGHT STORIES: a tribute to death/black metal!
In the latest record from the most surreal band in Italy, "Studentessi" by ELIO AND THE TIGHT STORIES (on newsstands from Thursday), the group has produced an ironic tribute to the world of death/black metal titled "Suicidio A Sorpresa," structured in five parts: Allegretto, Allegro, Andante Con Moto (the only truly metal part), Allegro, Allegretto.
Here are the lyrics of the song:
Allegretto
The Adramelech, the Necrophobic, and the Sadistic Intent
Good, but they're a bit too commercial for me
Better the Absurd, who along with Death and Profanatica
Make you forget the Tartaros, Massacra, Dismember,
The Entombed, Pestilence, and Rigor Mortis
Of course, if
You listen to the first of Monstrosity
You realize they've taken everything from Sarcofago
Atrocity are a bit like the new Intestine Baalism
More unimitable, less imitable than Suffocation
But the most imitated are still the Peparors
Allegro
Few know that listening to death metal backwards
They will discover messages that, when listened to the other way,
Are the same as the death metal you had before turning them
When instead you flip a black metal song
I'll tell you in a style reminiscent of the trio Lescan
Goodness comes out, a breath of optimism
Long live black metal backwards
Andante con moto
Call me when you arrive, otherwise I'll worry
Put on your sweater
I miss you, I miss you, you’re sweet like honey
But screw off, I’m falling in love
Oh lord, go to hell
Put on your scarf
Baluba, I have problems
Today I'm sad
Go fry yourself, go screw the sea, rude
You’re immature, but go to that town
You’re unbearable, calm down
Allegro
So enough with the accusations against those who write black metal lyrics
They don’t really intend to glorify the afterlife
The backwards message has an extraordinary effect:
If you listen to it backwards, it stays the same
Allegretto
Here in my heart, there are the Sodom and the Resuscitator
The Septic Flesh, the Impaled Nazarene, and the Sepultura
Of course, brutal death gives me more stimuli
Than Kataklysm, Luciferion, Cadaver, Minotaur
Than Pessimist and Urgrund all together -
Long live Urgrund! -
I’ll finish the little letter I’m writing to you
Then I’ll feed my boa constrictor with a little mouse
Now, however, I’ll leave you because I’m about to commit suicide
Please forgive me, but remember me when I listened to Hush hush ariuai by the Kajagoogo
