Kettle Cadaver's A TASTE OF BLOOD!

Back in 2004 I was living in a house with a few folks.  It was one of those situations where the "couple" that lived there imploded on itself and the guy moved out in an instant.  That left a vacant spot needing to be filled quickly since we all had NO money to pay the extra rent.  So along comes this short, crusty, pudgy guy named Eric who liked to stay up all hours of the night drinking and cooking, so we became instant friends.  One night, I'd say around two or three a.m., ol' Eric brought up my interest in horror movies.  We chatted for a while over some type of steak with some type of specialty crust and a lot of whisky and beer.  He said he has the craziest thing that I would ever see and quickly waddled to his den.  Low and behold he brought out a music video by a band called Kettle Cadaver called A TASTE OF BLOOD.  Well, I must say it was, and still is one of the craziest things I've ever watched.

A TASTE OF BLOOD is a 20 or so minute smorgasbord of video footage from the exploits of the "horror" rock band Kettle Cadaver that focuses mostly on the lead singer Edwin Borsheim.  Scenes of nailing his dick to boards during live shows and at home, putting shark hooks through the skin on his ribcage, smashing Jack Daniels bottles over his head, fighting, drinking and spitting blood on chicks, pulling his mouth open with safety pins than tying them off to a "crown of thorns" made out of barbed wire, shooting the shit out of himself with a staple gun, and my favorite-fucking a dead coyote in it's ass with a giant metal dildo complete with spiked mace balls pack this short movie with a lot of wow factor.

To say the least this movie is totally over the top.  The music itself is not really good in my opinion but who the fuck am I to say what's good or not in music, I'm currently writing this with Dave Brubeck Does Disney playing in the background.  This band's live visual assault and danger element is definitely a few steps above GG Allin shitting on stage, Fear fighting with everyone in the crowd and getting drenched in spit, Gorgoroth putting naked people and severed animal heads all over the stage, and Urgehal doing whatever Urgehal does onstage.

A TASTE OF BLOOD is still pretty cheap to buy on the various media outlets and I recommend it to anyone really!  It is a totally insane watch with imagery you will not be able to shake for awhile.    


Blake and Jimmy's Extreme-O-Gauge!

Gore: 4 out of 5, other than actually killing someone this is about as real and extreme as it gets.
Rape: 0 out of 0.
Animal Death: 1 out of 5, dead coyote rape folks.......during a live show.
Necrophilia: 0 out of 0.
Torture: 3 out of 5, cocaine and Jack Daniels probably helped this guy get through the pain.
Overall Movie:  4 out of 5, it's great and such a good movie to put on at a party!
