One
year ago the World's Deadliest Bands rocked the foundations of
the Red Devil Lounge in San Francisco with their characteristic
military precision and sheer muscular might. It was a brutal barrage
of heavy rock and punk pugnacity that left the capacity crowd
wanting more. So a tradition was formed - a tradition of sonic
warfare forged in the hardest steel and bathed in blood. It is
this tradition that brings us the 2nd Annual World's Deadliest
Bands!
Friday May 27, 2005 is a date to mark down on your calendar and
a day that will never be forgotten as Austrian action-adventure
rockers Arnocorps and martial arts success guru Count Dante &
the Black Dragon Fighting Society are joined by Meat Hammer for
the annual showcase of the deadly and dangerous at Red Devil Lounge.
ArnoCorps has come back to their Bay Area base of operations after
a six-month Austrian odyssey where they returned to their homeland
to gain inspiration for their long-awaited debut album. A newly
revised set of Austrian lore-inspired songs such as "True
Lies", "Predator" and "Total Recall"
was developed along with pounds of muscle mass as a result of
rigorous training. Whether amongst the spires of Vienna or cowed
by the majesty of the Alps of Innsbruck, ArnoCorps found the creative
momentum that they needed in the land of their birth and have
eagerly returned to rejoin the hard rock fray of the San Francisco
stage.
"Austria, let me tell you, it was fantastic," ArnoCorps
lead vocalist Holzfeuer says from a bunker deep in the bowels
of Berkeley. "But the whole time we were preparing for our
album in such idyllic sceneries and all these kinds of things,
we longed for the battlefield of rock. We are back as the last
action rock heroes and proudly bring the peoples of San Frantastic
this Second Annual World’s Deadliest Bands! The ballsiest
show on the planet! Come on!”
As poet, preacher, martial artist, motivational speaker, professional
wrestler and band leader, Count Dante has just completed a record
of his own at the historic House of Faith Studios in Oakland’s
Chinatown. The Count promises something special for the return
bout of the World’s Deadliest Bands, however he has kept
his plans for the show shrouded in a Bush Administration level
of secrecy. Both the Red Devil Lounge and ArnoCorps have filed
Freedom of Information Act motions to try to reveal the enigmatic
Dante’s plans, but so far their efforts have been stymied
by the Black Dragon Fighting Society’s claims of national
security. Whatever these plans may be, The Count boldly promises
that this year’s Deadliest Bands performance will top even
last year’s senses-shattering set.
This year, the bloodstained butchers of rock Meat Hammer open
the show with a grizzly set that was written in a charnel house
and practiced in a packing plant. Hailing from parts unknown,
this band of warriors are nonetheless said to be expertly trained
in the use of all manner of exotic cutlery. The members of Meat
Hammer have vowed to bring honor to the Deadliest Bands tradition
and humiliation to all those who stand in its way.
