THE
PAST AND PRESENT FUTURE
OF THE EXALTED PILEDRIVER
PileDriver
The very name implies loud, obnoxious, pounding metallic rhythm.
And that is exactly what Old School Thrash metal artist The Exalted Piledriver delivers!
In late 1984, Piledriver's 'Metal Inquisition' album infested itself across an unsuspecting planet, surreptitiously setting the bar higher for obnoxious metalheads with a penchant for outraging weaker souls around them, while influencing a whole new generation of metal-addled musicians. Darling-bastard-child of the nascent underground speed and thrash metal scenes, Piledriver shocked and awed with songs like 'Sex With Satan', 'Sodomize The Dead', 'Alien Rape', 'Witch Hunt' and 'Human Sacrifice' , while remaining a leather-veiled mystery of a man not seen since Alice Cooper's heyday, and not seen again until Marilyn Manson and Slipknot's rise. Garnering rave reviews and brisk sales (reportedly nearly 500,000 copies to date), Piledriver's Metal Inquisition became a respected and celebrated oeuvre-of-awful, even being voted by many critics as one of 1984's Best Metal Albums. While fans clamored for any tidbit of info on the band, the Piledriver camp remained mysteriously elusive. Occasionally, Piledriver's highly entertaining, twisted and humorous radio and magazine interviews fanned the fan-flames. Piledriver's second slab of vinyl 'Stay Ugly' slammed forth in 1986, a progression of aggression, with a trashier-thrashier sound. Songs like 'Metal Death Racer', ‘Lord Of Abominations’, 'Flowers of Evil' and 'The Executioner' maintained the sick level of humor, and fans were thrilled.
Then... for all intents and purposes... He disappeared...
Two decades have passed
since... during which
we have been given compact discs,
dvd's, aerosol cheese,
rising violent crime, and
most significantly,
the internet.
As the internet grew and became useful, Piledriver 's putrefaction was to be found in
dank, dark nodes all over the web. In the chat rooms, in the
review sites, in the blogs and in all the ‘best-of’
lists, the legend of
Piledriver grew and grew, demonstrating his undiminished
evil appeal and amply
proving that his audience was
still there.
The deafening
years of silence have only
served to fuel their craving for more
Piledriver! Watching from the sidelines, The Piledriver
himself agreed that the fans should have a
fresh gutfull of
Pile-meat
to devour, and most important of all, LIVE
SHOWS to serve it up to them, along with all the classicks
from his past... So He searched the oldest, darkest
cemetaries, and dug up the
finest vampire zombie metal-heads
(and what was left of their bodies) that
he could find; bombastic
ghoul
Glace Frothfritter on drums,
soulless vampire
Kinky Pork Cream
on guitar, with the
sickening Lobo Elf
Schnort on bass.
Check out
TONS of pictures of this pack of METAL miscreants
HERE!!!
For your sick aural enjoyment you can find some of
the demos HERE on this page of blood-soaked
songs from Piledriver's soon to spurt forth
'Metal Manifesto'. As you
will hear, there is a certain
musical evil in his voice that
cannot be
denied, as undeniable as the twisted hooks, virtuosic
solos and the
sheer pounding musicality of their writing;
Old School meets
Modern unlike in any other band! Recorded
in his
tiny home studio with an
elastic
band
and some sticks,
the demos showcase the
inextinguishable fire that still
burns within the angered artist.
Imagine what putrescent power and
malignant majesty could be achieved with a proper
recording budget! Piledriver
are currently negotiating a
deal, and are hoping for a 2006 release.
So... have a Look and a listen... LOUDLY of course... and become a part of the return of a true original Metal Monster!!!
...and never forget...
"If you're not a metalhead, you might as well be DEAD!"
