Vinyl Review: "Village Creep" by Leechfeast

Village Creep EP

It's been a little while since, but a band came along and into my emails by the name of Leechfeast.

If you're listening to The Dumb and Dumbest Podcast, perhaps you heard the episode with The Angry Metal Guy where he talked about hating to do negative reviews.

He discussed how he and his team (aka all of us in the metal blogging universe as well) choose their albums to review.

In the end, for us it's a lot like, just shopping. We know the PR firms, the labels, the genres, etc.

As he said, we want to like what we review. We don't ever want to hit anyone with a negative review.

So, this Leechfeast album hits my orbit. It didn't get my blood moving. It was bizarre.It was lethargic and the songs were amorphous. Essentially, there were four very large amoebas going basically wherever they wanted to.

LP Review: "Neon Crosses" by Leechfeast

Neon Crosses

To be quite frank about own personal history, it would be difficult be both honest and forthright about my personal television viewing habits should sitcoms and romcoms be avoided.

Perhaps it was the lonely life I led as a bullied nerd back in my younger days, or the Arnold Rimmer level of confidence I had with the opposite sex, or just the plain old life has gotta be better than this that led me to these fictional, idealized worlds.

The it's not you it's me line.

There've been no less than 872 romcom movies and 3,248 sitcom television episodes where this was the central tenet.

Now, in my more senior, though still younger days, heartbreak was no stranger to me and folks have left me, suave though I am not, now. Never once in any ending of a romantic coupling, friendship, band, or family separation was the line, it's not you, it's me been uttered.
