EyeHateGod/13 7''split and Holy Molar DVD

EyeHateGod
1. Serving Time In The Middle Of Nowhere
2. Lack Of Almost Everything

13
1. Whore

This 7'' cost me probably 7 times as much as when it was released in 1994. Getting it through an auction on Swedens answer to Ebay, Tradera.com.
This is the only EyeHateGod release that I really need. I want/ed them all, but this one is essential.
It may be because my favourite EHG track of all time is included on this raw 7'', "Serving Time In The Middle Of Nowhere". The hardest, meanest, most groovy and sludgie track of them all, according to me.
The song consists of mostly just one riff, which may be one of the reasons I really enjoy this track. Simplicity.
The second EHG track is almost, but not completely, just as good. It has that groovy melodic part towards the ending that you can't just shake out of your head afterwards. Being Kings of Sludge, EHG is a nihilistic phenomenon more than an actual band.
This has the potential of being one of the best sides on a split 7'' ever.

13, the early home for Liz Buckingham, who later passed through the world of Sourvein and ended up in Electric Wizard. On vocals we have Alicia 13, Mike Williams (EHG vocalist) girlfriend, who, from time to time, manages to sound completely possessed. Vocals are most of the track pretty mediocer growls, but sudden outbursts of her madness is a clear spice that raises the entire song, and the complete impression.
This is sludge, dirty as hell, rotten and ill scented, maybe not as rabid and intense as EHG, but with a foul spirit of its own.

+ Additional footage

Live, Holy Molar seems to be a band to either love or hate. Marky McMolar is pissing off the audience every show, and that is one thing I love. The live footage is great visual, and audial. The groups insane sound, song structure and effect usage really grips you when you watch it, except one thing, Marky McMolars vocals, which aren almonst heard at all. JP's (The Locust) shouting comes through as well as Bobby Bray's (The Locust), but Marky seems to have either a broken mic or not enough breath in the lungs to scream louder, in every clip.
Visually, it's a pleasure. The entire group dressed in dentist outfits (pimped of course).
The audience is breaking into the set, moshing together with the band or amongst themselves, Marky hackles them between songs and, of course, the undispensable naked-guy-concert-footage.
So the pieces of the live sets are great, just wishing you could hear Marky better.

The additional footage is almost more (time wise) than the live clips.
You get a full show at a guys birthday party. Most of the party people present seem to enjoy it, for a while. Don't know if they got paid for it, or if they got paid in beer and food. But it's pretty cool to have Holy Molar playing at your birthday party!

A sequence called "Henk" is where Bobby Bray is showing off. There's some real intense footage of him behind the keys, grooving, tossing, banging and moshing with pieces of the drum set.

Also, a full sequence of "Marky McMolar hackle", which is fun as hell to watch.

There's of course more than mentioned above, but I don't want to spoil the entire DVD for you.
