120 DAYS IN SODOM BREED INTEGRITY


the Count sent me a rip of INTEGRITY's split 7"es with HATEBREED and MAYDAY. While I hadn´t seen/heard the split with HATEBREED before I´ve the split with MAYDAY myself but while the Count's version of the split 7" is a re-issue (?) on GAME TWO records I got the ENDGAME pressing which has a different cover and a BLACK SABBATH rip off on INTEGRITY's label. the title of the INTEGRITY / MAYDAY split 7" LES 120 JOURNEES DE SODOME translates to 120 days of sodom which is the title of a book written by none other than the Marquise de Sade (de Sade -> sadism). if you haven´t read the book yet I´d suggest you write that on your to-do-list! it´s a story drenched in blood, sex, violence about the depths of human desire (there's a brilliant movie based on the book too!) if you´re familiar with de Sade's writtings you might understand the music of INTEGRITY and MAYDAY better. you´ll see the beauty in the violent, vicious music of both bands. on the split 7" with HATEBREED both bands offer you just one track which was, in INTEGRITY's case, also released on their IN CONTRAST OF EVERY SIN CD. I know that HATEBREED are loved by many but never managed to convince me! it´s HARDCORE with METAL guitars not bad but just not my cup of coffee!

  1. De Sade rules. Das Buch war meine Urlaubslektüre. Welchen Film meinst Du denn. da gab es einige Verfilmungen. Da gab es ua einen netten Film aus den 60ern. Jess Franco aka DER Meister hat mit "Justine" auch eine nette Exploitationgranate abgeliefert.
    Oder meinst Du etwa die 120 Tage von Sodom ? Die Story ist ja eigentlich nur angelehnt.

  2. obwohl der von dir genannte justine auch nicht schlecht ist, meinte ich schon "die 120 tage von sodom", der übrigens vom spiegel in deutschland auf den markt gebracht wurde.

    sachen wie "der faschist ist der einzig wahre anarchist" haben mich schwer beeindruckt und zum denken angeregt!

  6. It woulnd`t make sense to post the integrity cassette. I have this one without artwork. The 2 Tracks March Of The Damned and Darkness were released on the Those Who Fear Tomorrow Album and Den of Iniquity Album too. I think you own one of them.

  7. Fuck Yeah. Thanks, I was looking for Mayday Mp3s. BRUTAL band, they played in my friend's living room in Hamilton Ontario. And this Incarnation of Integrity was fierce and fucking DARK too. Thanks.
