Bio - May- 2025

Established in late 2023, Boston-based thrash metal outfit GIFTKRIEG was formed with the singular intent to craft music as deadly and infectious as their namesake. In May 2025, they delivered on this promise with the release of their debut EP, Poison War*. Poison War is a declaration of thrash metal hostilities that unfolds in 4 acts. In its 18-minute runtime, the EP pays tribute to both the musicality and technicality of American masters EXODUS, OVERKILL, and SLAYER as well as the ripping aggression of Teutonic thrash legends SODOM, KREATOR, and EXUMER, and finished with a dose of traditional metal sensibilities and a nod to the extended song structures of DIAMOND HEAD. GIFTKRIEG is vocalist B.F. Lally, guitarist Judson Belmont (ex-Ritualizer, ex-Orsus), bassist Rich Scanlon (ex-Breaking Wheel), and drummer Chris “Banga” Matranga (ex-Summoning Hate, exDroned). Media: Bandcamp Instagram Facebook Contact: giftkriegband@gmail.com * The entire Poison War EP is included here for promotional purposes, and is available to the general public to stream or purchase via the band’s social media pages

Oh, sorry I don't know how to auto loop a short in the forum, but if you want to watch it again I'm sure you know you can just click on the little round rewind thing in the lower left hand corner. If anyone does know how to auto loop it please let me know. Thanks!

What an iconic riff, maybe THE most iconic...But Black Sabbath's Iron Man is right up there, but just the sheer complexity of Randy Rhoads playing, and it still being so fucking heavy, is what made him great!!

Motley Crue Love Story

The Evolving Slacker — Sun, 15 Dec 2024 16:10:47 +0000

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AP3yyqy4SKc A Motley Crue love story... In the beginning, what was this thing? All of a sudden, I could find anything It was a birth, it was a death, It was the beginning of the internet Things that were far, were now very near I dove in like a kid in a pool Even though I didn’t know how to swim I had to do it just to be cool I wasn’t sure exactly what to do But my heart and my fingers knew, They went straight to Motley Crue, I could not believe there were others too Too fast for love, theater of pain Shout at the Devil, Knock em dead It was to much for my fucking brain. My fingers knew, I became Cruehead I knew I was probably insane Found my tribe on the shout board, Was always a weirdo, Now I was fucking adored It was like I was born again, Was a weirdo, but now Cruehead, Public enemy # 1 I read every fucking single thread Then somehow IRC This was all new to me But I found where I belonged, Living in a fucking Motley Crue song Everyone was just like me Fucked up and just trying to be I was blind but now I see Was this really happening to me? I lived just to log on Cranking a fucking Motley song Fuck the haters and hangers on Cruehead is what I be They thought I was so hardcore I was a fucking Motley Crue whore, Bashed them that be bashing me, Fuck the haters, this was war One hater, let's call him Axlrod, He was a worthy adversary, Everytime he posted hate, I would shut that fucking troll down Shout board, IRC Was a beautiful thing to see It was the place for me The only place I felt free One day got a message from Heywannaplay Said we both can see Didn’t know exactly what to say Wasn’t sure if they be a dude or a babe She sent a pic Said no fucking way Showed my buddy Dude said, no fucking way But we started to chat all the time Like every minute of every day Fell in love with digital words I can’t believe this was happening to me Then she called me on the fucking phone I was floored didn’t know what to say Hey girl you took it offline But she really sounded fucking fine Started talking everyday Her voice melted me from far away She was crazy Just like me It was so uncharted territory We didn’t care We did it anyway Following our hearts anywhere I never met anyone like me I be fucking crazy She said I want to come visit you I be like, no fucking way She booked a flight We both be fucking cray At this time this was crazy But love does what it may Picked her up in my crap car Thing didn’t even have a stereo I had a ghetto blaster in the backseat Didn’t seem that weird to me We were a little awkward at first Had a single rose, still wearing dockers from work She had on leopard print pants Looking way more Motley than me I don’t remember what we said Got to hotel smoked a million cigs I really had no game I never did, never needed one Nice Mullet, kinda the same as now, Great hair, but still got no game Never had one all my life never even tried, why fuck with things if they already be fly? We smoked a pile of cigs, fucked, listened to Crue and watched porno flicks Who was this fucking chick? Talked about getting married the very next day, probably should have in retrospect But it was all so fucking crazy Way more to come…this was before like Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, you’ve got mail...I knew of no one who ever had an internet romance…especially over the love of Motley Crue It was crazy as fuck, but so fucking cool…there is a perfect ending to this fucking tale…

I hear Metal EVERY FUCKING WHERE!

Ever fucking listen to fucking metal? So fucking long? Everything you fucking hear, sounds like a fucking metal fucking song? I fucking do. Fucking Shout at the fucking Devil, fucking Seek and fucking Destroy, fucking Bark at the fucking Moon! I will just fucking be fucking walking around, and fucking hear it, like a fucking Sabbath fucking tune, usually fucking like, fucking Iron fucking Man, oh, that's just my fucking ring fucking tone :) Sometimes I fucking feel, like I be fucking insane, like I be on the motherfucking Crazy fucking Train. Other times I fucking think, how fucking lucky, I fucking am. I’ve got fucking Spotify, fucking stuck, on the fucking dopest, motherfucking metal fucking playlist, in my fucking head! Insane in the motherfucking Membrane! Every fucking thing, sounds like a fucking metal fucking riff, to a metal fucking song. I guess after years of fucking listening to it, every fucking day, and fucking playing it on guitar, it’s just fucking part of who I fucking are. First time it fucking happened, it fucking freaked me the fuck out! I was all worried and fucking shit, now I just fucking enjoy the fuck out of this fucking metal fucking gift! Sometimes I fucking hear it, and I fucking have to fucking figure it fucking out, what fucking song, or fucking riff, is this? Sometimes I fucking can’t, so I pick up a fucking guitar and start fucking working on it. I listen to fucking recordings of me playing some fucking times, and have no fucking idea, how I ever came up with that fucking riff, or even how to fucking play anymore! I have to fucking learn it again, sometimes I fucking can’t, right a fucking away, most times I can. Eat my fucking dinner right out of the motherfucking garbage fucking can. I guess it fucking first started, when I fucking started, fucking learning to play the fucking guitar. You have to repeat, every fucking riff, to every fucking song,.,every fucking part, so many fucking times,,.fucking, over and fucking over again.. That I fucking guess it just fucking becomes, fucking ingrained, in my motherfucking brain. Thank fucking god, it fucking did!!! It feels like a fucking gift! It’s fucking dope as fucking hell, wouldn’t fucking want, my life, any fucking other fucking way!! Wow, another fucking, fucking post!!! Lol And fucking Randy Rhoads is the motherfucking shit!

You're in the Jungle baby....you're gonna die.........

The Evolving Slacker — Tue, 03 Dec 2024 15:27:31 +0000

I really wanted to post my video of the making of the Jungle Tank, but then got stuck on trying to figure out why the last 4 posts I made were marked as private in the forum, went down some rabbit holes...and now am too bagged, I do have the video done but have to add this song to it...so I thought I'd just post the original video...just so I get something posted up in this heare bieatch!!!

I really do wish I had a site tech on a 24/7 retainer, for shit like that, or just to make changes when I want...because documentation is something I use to start fires with after loading up on shit from Cabela's lol

This is weird, it wants to post files into this forum post and if I try to delete them it says they will be deleted from any other place they have been used...so I guess I won't delete them...it would have been easier just to make a post lol...oh well, here goes.

WASP i I wanna be somebodyI Wanna Be Somebody - WASP

I Wanna Be Somebody - WASP

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SfWWgcb0TI It was a Great show! They played all the songs off the first WASP album, which is my favorite. After Chris Holmes left I didn't really listen to WASP much anymore. The first two WASP albums were great though, especially the first one.

Heavier Metal

The Evolving Slacker — Thu, 05 Sep 2024 05:47:10 +0000

https://youtu.be/PWFkhLUcvo0?si=pf-Ug8PkBt-aejEQ

I always loved this song...no one has pipes like Halford did back in the day, this was off defenders of the faith. I think I told at least part of the story once. It was between me getting gigantic pumping iron, and because of that, peeps did what I said..

I would jump on the school bus at 15-16, looking all roided out. and the backseats were historically reserved for the 11th or 12th graders...

didn't matter, my buddy had our back seat reserved, and we rocked the fuck out!!!!!

And say Lloyd, although I think it was another bus driver by then, but I'm fucked up in Mexico, how the fuck am I supposed to remember?

Who knows, it could have been loverboy with this fucked up tech. Which is unimaginably fucked up!

But it wasn't...in the dead night...love bites...love bites...

I always thought it added a lot of pernach when Halford came out...the most heaviest of metal peeps...saying it, I still can't say it...I kid...I love that part in old dad's with bill burr, talking about it...

When you feel safe
When you feel warm
That's when I rise
That's when I crawl
Gliding on mist
Hardly a sound
Bringing the kiss
Evils abound
In the dead of night love bites, love bites
In the dead of night love bites
Into your room
Where in deep sleep
There you lie still
To you I creep (which is just creepy, but the tune is so heavy, you can forgive it)
Then I descend
Close to your lips
Across you I bend
You smile as I sip
Now you are mine
In my control
One taste of your life
And I own your soul
Softly you stir
Gently you moan
Lust's in the air
Wake as I groan
In the dead of night love bites, love bites
In the dead of night love bites (bites)
In the dead of night love bites, love bites
In the dead of night love
Bites you
Invites you
To feast in the night
Excites you
Delights you
It drains you to white
Love bites
You knew at first sight
You'd enjoy my attack
That with my first bite
There'd be no turning back
So come in my arms
I strike any hour
I will return
To trap and devour
In the dead of night love bites, love bites
In the dead of night love bites (bites)
In the dead of night love bites, love bites
In the dead of night love bites, love bites
Love bites
Love bites
Love bites
Love bites
Love bites
Love bites
Love bites

Glam/Hair Metal

The Evolving Slacker — Tue, 13 Aug 2024 16:05:39 +0000

I don't know if I should create a separate forum for every sub genre of every genre...it's never ending! lol But I do love dumb, cheesy, amazing guitar riffing glam/hair metal, I think there are 3 of us left in the world who do, and I know the other two.

it is funny though, that it is one of the most overlooked/ignored/put down/criticized, music genre's there are, yet when one of the bigger bands of the genre Crue/GnR/Def Lep/Poison etc, do a tour, especially together, they sell out stadiums!

Go figure...

I can't get enough of this song, I love the riff, it's dumb, but so am I...I have it in a post on here somewhere but just felt like posting it in here...https://youtu.be/g-OUOfBWvhs?si=XuNm5MHRpBfOI8wp
