Christian vomitcore

I was perusing my site referer log -- because I'm always curious to see how people find my blog -- and found someone had arrived via a search on google for Jesus's flogging.

That's disturbing enough, but a few sites down in the results for that search is this site of lyrics by a band called Vomitorial Corpulence, which has some really great song titles:

  • Hammer Inflicted Brain Seizure And Hemorrhaging Cranial Gestation

  • Malignant Cankerous Brain Feast And Tumorous Cerebral Beverage Of The Cranium

  • Festering Insalubrious Bowel Hemorrhaging Of Cancerous Pustulosus And Abdominal Abscess Discharge Of The Intestinal Tract

    Just when you think it's simply the output of a deranged spammer's random-word generator program, or song lyrics as a medical journal's abandoned slush pile, you get to these titles:

  • Turn To Christ

    and

  • Christ Is The Demon Crusher

    ...and you realize that they actually mean it. The band has a site, which pops up a window that takes over the whole screen, so I don't recommend it. But I did learn, while on that site, that "you're either for GOD or against GOD". I suppose the stomach-churning lyrics -- or should I say "Grotesque Mucopurulent Disgorgements" -- are meant as a shock to the system that opens your mind to the message in the "spiritual" numbers. Kind of the Christian vomitcore version of the eyeball-slicing scene in Un Chien Andalou.
