WEST SEATTLE, Washington, July 09, 2010 (WSFB) – Devil Music is alive and well in West Seattle, and at the forefront of the movement to restore Heavy Metal to its rightful place on the thorned throne stand the Midnight Idöls.
The Idöls reinvent heavy metal as we know it, returning to a [recently] bygone era of tactical musicianship absent from the contemporary metal scene. Blazing leads and complex harmonies coupled with pounding rhythm and jarring vocals come together to form the musical equivalent of Voltron, Defender of the Universe; a huge and powerful Luciferian machine that lays to waste all foes and pussies. Every Idöls song feels familiar but remains unique. Each track is an unashamed slap in the face that compels the listener to look up, stand proud, step up to – and cross over – the line.
It feels so good to know that Satanic verse lives and breathes in its true form in this current era, and that Anton LaVey’s work didn’t follow him to the grave. LaVey, the Father of Contemporary Satanism and founder of the Church of Satan, subscribed to the notion, “there is a beast in man that needs to be exercised, not exorcised”.
We couldn’t agree more. Go exercise your inner beast and call us in the morning.
Idöls Rizz and Diamond took some time out of their busy day of harvesting souls and carving pentagrams into human flesh to answer our Beelzebub Approved Questions Six:
WSFB: If someone says to you “Fuck West Seattle”, what’s your response?
Rizz: I punch people in the fucking face.
Diamond: Look the fuckin’ fuck out!
WSFB: What’s your best West Seattle memory?
Rizz: Some of my best memories I can’t remember.
Diamond: I’d have to agree with that.
WSFB: If 4 out of 5 dentists prefer Trident, what West Seattle food or beverage would you pick?
Rizz: The mighty Zippy’s burger, maybe Jak’s Grill.
Diamond: I drive from Beacon Hill to get a fucking Zippy’s burger!
WSFB: Jeff Gilbert. Man or Mythical Beast?
Rizz: Both.
WSFB: Everybody loves Alki. What’s one thing you hate about it?
Rizz: Either the cops or the pricks that move in across the street from a public park like a beach that get pissed off because people go there.
Diamond: Fuck??
WSFB: If you were to want to get stoned and do crafts in your basement, would you do it in Portland or West Seattle? Why?
Rizz: By crafts, do you mean growing or cooking more stuff to get stoned with, performing black masses, or conducting large out of control orgies? Regardless, West Seattle kicks Portland’s ass in all of these areas so….
Come witness Damned Souls as they rise from Hell and watch families flee the Junction with children in tow when the Midnight Idöls hit the California Stage during West Seattle’s one true Satanfest celebration this Friday at 7:45PM!
HAIL STAN!
