 ABATTOIR
3000- Road Trip to Oblivion (Kommy
Elektra) As I first
glanced at the cover of this record two things popped into my mind: 1.)
This looks like a B-movie poster for “Back to the Future: Apocalypse,”
as there is a skeleton with a machine gun hitchhiking and a stripper
dancing on a pole. 2.) “I wonder if this is going to be a metal
album,” well I didn’t quite expect what I thought or what I hoped for
to say the least. Sounding like a cheesy 80’s cover band, Abattoir 3000
is based on Kent Messer’s novel “Road Trip to Oblivion.” Lyrically,
the songs are structured around the novel based on growing up in the Cold
War era and the music at that time. The lyrics and sound of the band did
not appeal to me at all, I am usually a war junkie, but I found nothing
insightful or refreshing from this band. The inside cd jacket is presented
with the “history” of Abattoir 3000, after reading half of the story,
I concluded that this band is A.) a bunch of horny, middle-aged men with
mullets who attempt to be funny telling a story of a made-up
“rockstar” and his exploits (of debauchery) and the “rise” of
Abattoir 3000 B.) They think
that their music is actually good. After listening to this horrific cd, I
promptly threw it in the trash. Roughly 30 minutes of my time was wasted
listening to this cd and I hope I never will hear it again. Save your
money folks because this one needs to be buried. –Mike Blanks
