I still have the original vinyl album “ZeroTime”. Pioneering stuff. A bit raw by modern standards, but still…

I like how it glares down at us.

I use to think Powerman was heavy metal and taboo. A friend called them Scifi.

I’ll admitt, this is a pretty interesting track to classify. During the intro you fully expect them to happily pack up and run for Grindcore territory once they’re done with the introductions, but then they actually scale it down, and it turns out that part was the hardest they get. And while that riff does have some core-ish quality it also isn’t completely amiss in a more classical thrash-metal arrangement which the rest of the song more resembles.
In the end I’d guess I’d put them somewhere inside a triangle with the corners heavy metal, thrash metal and metal core, though that might just be this one song…
Why taboo?

Taboo within the metal scene maybe?

So… that’s essentially an organ, I guess? Pretty wild. She’s certainly got the circular breathing down to a T!

This instrument appears to be the result of an unnatural relationship between a harmonica and a set of bagpipes. I suppose it has the advantage that, unlike the harmonica, you can’t pull it out of your pocket and start playing it next to me in the pub.

I once read a memoir of a musician who played in US bars in the sixties. There was one bar proprietor who insisted on gatting up on stage and joining in on harmonica. He was something of a local gangster, and he was the guy paying the wages, so the band didn’t want to upset him by refusing.
Their solution was for the whole band to tune a quarter tone flat. As long as they played amongst themselves, they sounded fine - but when the bar owner joined in, it sounded terrible - and it didn’t matter what key he played in - it still sounded terrible.

I used to try to play harmonica…I can say if I tried to play what she is playing, I would pass out on about the third draw.
