Children Band PhotoAfer the load of crap that was Matt Zane’s Society 1 and pretty much everything Evan Seinfeld has done since the early 90s, Los Angeles “Synthetic-Metal duo” Chiildren restore male porn stars’ good name to metal. Featuring former Dead to Fall bassist Chad Fjerstad and Christopher Zeischegg (some readers may be compelled to pretend they don’t know them as “Chad Alva” and “Danny Wylde”), you may not dig Chiildren’s music, which I could see being too electronic and possibly even pretentious for some — but you can’t deny that they’re doing something unique. The only (semi-) popular outfit I can think of doing the same thing right now (and readily identifying with metal instead of electronica) is Author & Punisher. I feel like this is the kind of disturbing, avant garde work that Marilyn Manson thinks he’s doing.

Bloody Disgusting has now premiered another Chiildren video, “Apocalypse Prologue,” which “features remixes from the duo’s upcoming physical release of The Other People EP,” according to a press release. Since it’s a mish-mosh of various pieces of music, it’s not quite as enjoyable as “Girl in the Dirt,” the video which first introduced us to Chiildren. Still, its esoteric nature is enough to warrant a viewing. Check it out:

Chiildren’s The Other People EP comes out November 12 on Bit Riot Records.
