FIVE FACTS ABOUT FUCK THE FACTS’ UNNAMED EP

Monday, February 22nd, 2010 at 3:00pm by

What can I say, I like my f’s.

  1. When I imported this shit into iTunes, the artist name was NOT Fuck The Facts. Either that means that these dorks stole these five songs, or they don’t want me to leak it. But you know what, I’m gonna do it anyways. Actually, I’m not. It’s only six bucks. So I’ll just link you to the pre-order form.
  2. Speaking of stolen music: the same day FTF sent me this EP, the new Burzum album, Belus, leaked. Now, there is something you all should know about FTF and Burzum: Varg Vikernes, the man behind Burzum and the once upon a time session bassist for Mayhem, is IDENTICAL to FTF bassist Marc Bourgon. 
  3. Did you know that the dudes and gal in Fuck the Facts packaged and pressed five-hundred copies of the EP I’m listening to right now? I can’t believe how badass it sounds, and that it’s a completely self-released product.
  4. Did you know that FTF can make grindcore EPIC? At 3 minutes, 38 seconds “La Tete hors de L’eau” (also known as “track five”) proves so.
  5. Did you know that when Fuck The Facts isn’t busy watching Cake Farts they can actually do incredible Metallica covers? Look at the footage I took of them on tour two years ago:

    Man, leaking (talk about it) albums again?

    Im surprised you even let anyone mention leaked albums after your last fiasco.

    Still got a few advertising dollars you are trying to lose?

    • dakotahowe

      ouch.

  • boobalys

    I gave this a listen today, it’s a pretty good little ditty.

    I gotta say though, the rerecorded version of “La Tete hors de L’eau” is a way better recording (shows how the band has gotten way better at doing it themselves), but it lacks a bit of the ole grindcore soul that the original recording had. I’m guessing you will never be able to recapture the magic a second that second time around…. oh well, all in all a nice little EP.

    Varg is breaking the Iron Maiden rule of wearing your own band’s shirts… silly bastard.

    I’d love to buy this but shipping is more than the price of the album, and I don’t even own a turntable…

      I’d like to buy it as a CD, cause I’m like that.

      • Horeshine

        Yeah, looks like you can only get it in vinyl form…. Uhu, sorry about that

  • Horeshine

    Ok I’m super confused about your first point… Was the name different when you imported it from a download? or from a official release? What name did it come through as?

    Am I the only one who’s super lost on this??

    • metalguy

      me too. he told us to buy it, said they dont want it to be leaked, then said he got it as a promo

      • metalguy

        woops she i think all posters that arent gary are axl or vince

        • blech

          people who bought the vinyl got a download code for today for a bunch of different format types, maybe the one Justina picked just didn’t have the tags done…

          or maybe someone made a torrent already, bloody hell, the internet… ha

    Marc! That guy was in Tugnut! HOLY FUCK that band was sweet.

  • Facebook User

    I completely agree with pretty much everything, except the disparaging Burzum correlation. Marc is a very nice guy, and chatted with me for quite a while when I saw them a year and a half ago with Psyopus – during which, yes, they did play an entirely epic cover of “Creeping Death” at the Jungle, which is about the size of my bedroom. FTF needs a lot more exposure!

    Ordered! Hopefully sometime this will be a sought after item… Glad to help too, considering the whole thing was an independent effort…

    FTF fucking rules!
