CHARRED WALLS OF THE DAMNED, ELEPHANTIASIS, AND YOU

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011 at 2:30pm by

Charred Walls of the Damned are a rarity in the metal world — a supergroup that’s actually super. And because I’m a big dumb idiot, I didn’t really get that into their eponymous debut last year; but now that I’ve heard their sophomore effort, Cold Winds on Timeless Days, I know I’m a big dumb idiot, and I can now remedy my previous blunder.

Case in point re: me being a big dumb idiot and CWotD owning every and all asses: their new single, “Zerospan,” which you can check out below. I defy you to listen to it and not raise a pair of invisible elephantiasis-afflicted nuts towards the sky. It’s impossible. It just can’t be done.

Cold Winds on Timeless Days comes out October 11 on Metal Blade, and was produced by guitarist Jason Suecof. The rest of the band, in case you somehow don’t know, consists of legendary drummer Richard Christy, vocalist Tim “Ripper” Owens, and bassist Steve DiGiorgio.

    Damn, never can find my elephantiasis nuts when I need em. And then I’m at some place where it’s awkward for them to be there, like the dr’s office, and then I gotta go through the hassle of banging the nurse because she won’t shut up about them. Geez.

    I want to like this, as I am a huge Richard Christy fan, but Ripper just ruins it man. I can’t stand that Priest/Maiden vocal style in modern metal. I don’t know why, cause I actually like Priest and Maiden, but that was a different time.

    I’m a fan of Ripper and Christy, but I feel like this project is worth less than the sum of it’s parts as with most supergroups.

    The first album was fucking amazing. Ripper is pretty much the best singer today. Manifestations is pretty much the most metal song ever. Axl, you suck.
