MORE FUN WITH WAKING THE CADAVER

Thursday, May 14th, 2009 at 10:29am by Axl Rosenberg

After I wrote about Waking the Cadaver’s war with Metal Inquisition yesterday, a friend of ours who books shows sometimes e-mailed me to tell me that he once upon a time attempted to book Waking the Cadaver for a local NJ show – and the band asked for a sum of money so outrageous you’d think he was trying to book Slayer or something. Which is amazing, because before yesterday, I’d never fucking heard of Waking the Cadaver.

But I’ve heard of them now, and guess what? They’re my new favorite band! Thanks to Pick-Axe Bobby for passing this video along.

    I like this version better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtO5xQC98jM

  2. poopsmcgee says:

    whats funnier is reading all the comments posted for the videos debating whether its “grindcore” or not. my favorite is the one where the guy says that Dr. acula is good! lolz!!

  3. poopsmcgee says:

    subsequently, i propose simply categorizing all good music as just “metal” to avoid the semantic nonsense that these puny teens engage in as a means to define themselves through identifying with a very specific subcategory of a musical genre. in my opinion that bernard purdie clip from last weak was fucking metal. waking the cadaver is not metal.

    Wheat!… Wheat! Wheat! Wheat!… Shredded wheat!

    LOL! There’s urine everywhere.

  5. moose_knuckle says:

    Only faggits like shredded wheat….

  6. Bill says:

    i may have pooped a little. fucking hilarious.

    but yeah, waking the cadaver blows.

  7. Patrick says:

    What if these guys and Brokencyde had a kid .. *shudders*

    Hilarious video… these guys are the best joke band thats not a joke :P

  8. Walker says:

    is this band for real? They have a record deal and everything? Seriously? This isnt some joke………I can not believe that this sells. I mean, say what you will about any particular band, but most of them you can understand why they are a sighned act. It may not be what you like but you can grasp why they exist. You may hate Nickleback, you may hate Manson, you may hate IWABO, you may hate Metallica, but you have to understand the buisness of things and see that in certain markets and scenes that it can make money if produced and marketed correctly. Now, if this band is a joke band, then I get it. Like a death core Tenacious D. I read the lyics and then looked at the band photos, its pretty funny shit, so if its a joke keep going guys YOU’RE doing great!!!

    I wish Waking The Cadaver was a joke band, they would’ve been on a completely scale, but their legit, and they are a bunch of douche bags, ummm “Fagits”

    (goes back to listening to Nightrage)

  10. Jason says:

    Generally I think your slamming of bands is not funny at all and basically 6th grade lunchroom bullshit…..but this band deserves every ounce of hate thrown at them. that shit is absolutely awful. I truly wish I had never heard that.

  11. Patton says:

    I can see the difference between deathcore and wigger slam. Deathcore makes some sort of sense and has a reason for its existance and this, I dont fucking get it. I would understand if they were a joke band. This one time I do agree with the majority of earth population’s view on metal, this band is basically some bloke shouting about death and a bunch of retards pretending to be able to play their instruments. Fagits !

    That is all.

      as bad as they are, they’re still nowhere nearly as awful as attila. waking the cadaver sounds like a pisspoor attempt to “out-devourment” devourment. imitation may be the highest form of flattery, but it makes this band terrible and douchey.

  12. linh says:

    waking the cadaver = fail.
    however, the video MADE MY DAY.
    it was hilarious.

  13. jaahn says:

    jesus fuck! sad enough shit like this actually has a fan base, but these “fagits” got even bigger “fagits” sporting ink in their name. WTFF!?

      haha holy crap….
      also, spot the wigger B-Ball Shorts.
      what a fucking mess

      • RobotScythe says:

        Man..I remember when folks would get ink of bands that mattered. You know, the ones that have been around awhile and proven themselves. Now getting band ink is so trendy people hear a single they like by a band that’s been around for a friggin month and they run out to get the band’s logo tattooed on them. What are these trend-surfing dingbats gonna do when they grow up and realize that the band sucks? All they’re gonna have is a tattoo of a crappy band. Dumbshits.

  14. Gourav says:

    wtf?
    lol at whole thing
    but whats wif.. LOG at the end -_-”

  15. Blackthorned says:

    This whole debacle suggests that there is such a thing as bad publicity.

  16. karlos says:

    Apparently they’re from new jersey. as an aussie, the only thing I know about new jersey is Harold and Kumar is set there. And i much as i love Harold and Kumar, they are NOT metal.

    • Bill says:

      yeah, google lee hotti. jersey is full of those types. not to say there aren’t some cool cats in jersey, but it’s the most metrosexual state in the union i’d wager. i live about 20-30 minutes from jersey, way too close for comfort.

      and the Devils are a piss poor excuse for a hockey team!!!

      • RobotScythe says:

        I googled that..WOW. I have never laughed so hard at other human beings in my life. WHat makes them even more hilarious is the fact that they dress like that on purpose and it’s NOT a joke! They really think they are cool!!

  17. Mancubus says:

    HAHAHAHAHA! I remember this vid. Good times. And slam sucks in general. br00tal =/= good.

  18. Scott Danger says:

    Their logo is either the best or worst piece of text-art I’ve ever seen. I can’t decide.

  19. Gothian says:

    The best video in a loooooooong time

  20. Jimmy says:

    My god, that “music” is awful.

  21. someone says:

    HAHAHA! This is note metal…im sorry metal is good, this is shitty ass grindgore the worst genre ever!

  22. JAS09 says:

    Most deathcore bands have at least some listenability. Waking the Cadaver have NO REDEEMING FEATURES WHATSOEVER. It’s the absolute fucking nadir of human musical creativity
