http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.69271&rws=%2Fpainkiller-2%2Fmusic-videos.rssThis meeting leaps far beyond the sum of its parts. Mick Harris (Napalm Death, Lull, and Scorn), Bill Laswell (Massacre, Praxis and Material), and John Zorn (<i>Naked City</i> and Masada) all have prolific, prestigious, and prodigious careers that met up to produce a handful of recordings. As Painkiller, they explore the outer limits of Death Metal violence, Free Jazz frenetics and reality-splitting Dub come through on recordings such as <I>Execution Ground</I>. They perform a music of opposites, gliding easily from Harris' blastbeat-driven, gat-beat assaults to Laswell's heavy Dub basslines. Zorn's horn histrionics match Janet Leigh's dying shower scene screams (<i>Psycho</i>). Painkiller is a misnomer; they will leave you with emotional scars and post-traumatic stress disorder. - Marc KateAvant Garde Jazzen720Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:41:23 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.69271&rws=%2Fpainkiller-2%2Fmusic-videos.rss This meeting leaps far beyond the sum of its parts.
