Mutantstrosities

by THAT Damned Band

supported by

Compact Disc (CD)
THAT Damned Band's album Mutantstrosities is an epically wild and phantasmagoric acoustic musical exploration of the themes of Monsters, Freaks, the Dregs of Society, and the Circus Sideshow Midway. Songs like Gobbelins and the Trash Dragon' Sway make Idiomatic connections with the down and out being mythological and unseelie entities such as goblins and trolls. The album was recorded with a variety of sonic textures, including sci-fi effects and melodies played on the theremin and jacob's ladder (track 5) to the sublimely simple toy piano (track 4), using modern digital recording techniques and also reel to reel magnetic tape mastering. This is independent music, music that breaks the mold, breaks open the head, and encourages the thought that magick is everywhere.
CD comes in lightweight, eco-friendly gatefold card case with liner notes including lyrics and artwork by Adam Kobetich of Gatorhorse studio. Shrink wrapped 100% recycled MADE IN THE USA packaging.

Dylan Blackthorn recommends:

Swung
by The Finer Things

This explosive duo has it all in this album: class, charm, slowburns, drugs, and veiled innuendo. Pure vaudeville, great musicianship. Dylan Blackthorn

F
by Bobby Joe Ebola and the Children MacNuggits

This twisted songwriting duo has been pumping out witicism and biting social satire ever since I joined their cult in 1998. The album F features underground hit Life is Excellent! Dylan Blackthorn

Songs for the Hangman's Daughter
by Mark Rubin, Jew of Oklahoma

Another songwriter favorite of mine who calls upon wit & laughter to bring you to tears about the state of the world. Sublime, personal, verbose, poetic, biting social commentary. Dylan Blackthorn
