about

I met Extreme Death a few years ago while studying a music degree at university. I met lead singer Lord Cantebury IV in a supermarket and we fast became friends. It was a power trio; Bordon Grown was playing synths with the band at the time, with drummer Hughesly rounding out the group, but I was mesmerised by the pair of tracks they had recorded. Their self-titled debut, "Extreme Death" was a beautiful mess, with drum fills and piano flourishes that belonged more with the ideals of Bruce Springsteen than Metallica like the group's name suggested. The second track, "Bordon Grown", was the keyboardist's vocal opportunity; Lord Cantebury IV had been struck with polio just days prior to the group entering the studio to record the song. However, the group's distaste with the end result was clear; it sounded more like a Beck cover than classic heavy speed metal.

I lost contact with the group after that fateful release of "Bordon Grown" - however, fast forward five years and I recently received what appeared to be a blank CD in the mail. Upon putting the CD into my computer, the most wonderful thing happened. Extreme Death are alive and well it seems, and it appears Lord Cantebury IV's vision of a pure metal band was fulfilling itself. Sadly, Bordon didn't seem to be anywhere on the CD; it was full of heavy riffs and ridiculous drums (Hughesly? Is that you my boy?) but the loops and keyboard samples of days past appear to be behind Extreme Death. Here is an entry from that record. Perhaps, if there is an audience for them, Extreme Death may allow me to release the rest of this mysterious CD.

lyrics

420 is the number of the Ford Focus.

Mistress of golfing I'm pulling your chain
Twisting your dreams and smashing your glass
Blinded by me, you can't see the vein
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you contrast

An evil angel nestled somewhere in time
A frightening witch - no warnings, no signs
Judgment day and the a controlling demon arrives
Eventually, they all commit crimes

Is it the end, my friend?
Mistress you're going 'round the bend
Half woman and half
No, no, please, no
420 ... 420
