lyrics

strip mall
milwaukee
a shareware rack
a 3.5 inch floppy encased in shrink wrap

took out my wallet and said
here, i’ll take this
then proceeded to install it on my 386

switched from expanded to extended memory
and after sorting out the RAM I see
a digital display of unspeakable gore
hook up the modem to the phone because I gotta get more

we must
knock the noggins around

adjust
the screwed up settings for sound

blades thrust
leaving limbs on the ground

flesh by the pound

encrusted in the lust

quit to dos
and load up a game

then toss
about heads of the maimed

the last boss
is a takar named staine

the threat is sussed
encrusted in bloodlust

my addiction to their output grew like a virus
‘cause they were weird and maladjusted just like i was
with cool enemies and characters by the dozen
the games were for PC, but the content sure wasn't
i’m not even talkin’ ‘bout the emulators
despite them being as great as they were
studies can’t confirm any effects on consumers
but I grew up all gothic with a sick sense of humor

Un-Undead EP
by Sega Lugosi

supported by 9 fans who also own “Bloodlust Software Was Awesome”

. If you ever wanted in on the inside joke of modern EDM, now is your chance. Epic in scope chocked full of nerd culture reference. Everything you love about Klack/Caustic/The Gothsicles put in a blender on frape and poured on a Genesis consul until it sparks and burns. Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick Taco Tuesday is a jam. It really isn’t the humor, because the songs are funny. It’s how good the songs are in spite of the humor. preciousken

Cracked Wax Battery
by Gasoline Invertebrate

supported by 8 fans who also own “Bloodlust Software Was Awesome”

A plasma whip of electronic dance beats cracking the air with aerobic intensity. Brian takes some of the jovial madness of Gothscicles off his voice and replaces it with hissing menace. The NES throwback energy of these synth lines are a nerdcore street cred of belonging. Gasoline Invertebrate always makes you feel inside the curtain. preciousken

Eyes On Backwards
by Dead When I Found Her

supported by 8 fans who also own “Bloodlust Software Was Awesome”

This album should be ranked very high in ranks of latest industrial albums, because it just crushes the competition. THIS is how it's done people. Menacing vocals, pounding drums and haunting electronics have no mercy on your ears and leave you with not one second of peace. Play this loud and do people around you a service. FLESH MECHANIC
