So much more than a bonus track on GH1

"Anubis was hanging out one summer, slow roasting crocodile liver over some coals, knocking back some beers and air strumming along to some vintage Billy Gibbons when that a-hole Baal from across the way tried to impress all the chicks in his hot tub by jacking up his built in sound system, cranking out Yseult's intro to Black Sunshine from Sexorcisto Vol. 1.



"Turn that crap down you f'in backwater wannabe!" he shouted.



"Come over here and make me Puppy Chow!"



The fight that ensued raged for days, and showed no sign at all of stopping. Jesus Christ looked down, took pity on the poor bikini clad Baal groupies growing ever wrinkled, too scared to leave the hot tub, floated down on a cloud and said to Anubis, "Ye, hath not White Zombie numerous hard core killer rhythms?"



Anubis could deny it not.



And so Jesus turned to Baal and said, "Also, can it not be said that ZZ Top is blessed with an intriguing dirty southern grunge?"



Baal agreed it was true.



"So then, let us not fight, but create." And Jesus Horus Christ then raised his hands, pointing at Anubis' headphones, Baal's deck built sound palace, fire and light, brimstone and butterflies, doves, batwings and ravens engulfing them all.



Behold, then, reader, a conflux, a genesis! Graveyard BBQ: Equal parts ZZ Top, White Zombie and divine inspiration. Every song wicked, dirty, and glorious, building to a crescendo as the last three tracks split the Earth agape and crack open the sky; demons playing Candyland and angels watching MMA. Take your genres and shove them. If this stuff doesn't get your blood pumping and your fists clenching there's plenty of John Tesh at the bottom of the Wal*Mart bargain bin. Choke on it.



Long live the BBQ."
