Apparently the
Zombie apocalypse is upon us, and it is being served up in a
lavender scented tub of bath salts. I never thought drug
addicts would be the downfall of the human race, but the
evidence is as plain as the nose eaten off your face. It
could have taken the form of a virulent strain of rabies, a
corporate engineered virus or maybe a meteor that turns
people into brain craving mutants, but instead a simple
cosmetic product will kill us all, the irony.
The fascination with zombies, cannibalism and dismemberment
plays out in metal music every day. In the 1980s Death metal
began a trend of corporeal lyrical themes bent on the
destruction of the human race, not to mention plenty of
blood and guts. For three decades those themes took many
different shapes interpretations of the apocalyptic havoc in
store for the human race. So in this month’s installment of
HMFT I pay tribute to some of my favorite flesh tearing,
brain devouring, and face eating metal to go along with your
next snort of a hygiene product.
