I didn’t want to post about this, and these guys only seem to make good on like 25% of their threats, but they forced my hand. The Westboro Baptist Church have announced that they will be protesting Jeff Hanneman’s Memorial Celebration on Thursday, May 23, 2013. I am not asking anybody to do anything, only because I am not sure how the boss men would feel about it, but I will not shed any tears if these guys end up in traction.
Check out their tweet here:

There are some bands more adept at riding the chaos than others in the storied history of underground music. From noise and hardcore pioneers like Steel Pole Bathtub to Man Is The Bastard to synth/indie/post-core bands like Six Finger Satellite to numerous grindcore bands like Fuck The Facts, etc.- some groups just embody the concept of "fuck it/let's really go for it" more than others. NY's Black Mesa sits proudly in that same spirit of frenzy and ferocious inventiveness, as evidenced by their recent compilation of insanely manic live performances. Whatever sub genre they throw in the emotional blender, you are bound to enjoy a deliciously nutritious smoothie of muddy sonic punk purée.

I would love to see them try cause Kerry King and Zack Wilde I’m sure would have something to say to them. And the legions of Slayer fans would have something to show them.

These fools are at it again?
I hope the fans and others in attendance don’t lash out, and that the funeral can proceed in peace. At Dio’s funeral, didn’t a bunch of counterprotesters show up and run their motorcycles all day to drown them out?
