Deaf To All But Metal - Recent Bereavement Edition

16/5/2016

This article is a part of FoulENT's 30 Days of Stuff! Click here to read all 30 Days entries and be sure to come back every day in May for new stuff just like this!

​It wouldn't be 30 Days of Stuff without a visit to the series that requires literally no research or prior knowledge. It's Deaf To All But Metal, the series where we don't listen to albums but review them anyway. This time around, the cold hand of Death is reaching over this article. You can't spend a minute in 2016 without some famous recording artist dying it seems. So, instead of taking a look at the charts (Which are, for all intents and purposes, a cavalcade of shite at present), we're going to take a look at the final albums for these music stars. A look, but not a listen. You know how this works.

David Bowie - Blackstar

The now-dead gender bending superstar released this album mere days before his untimely death. The record is, for sure, one laden with tragedy. The final track "If My Son Fucks Up Warcraft, Virgins Will Literally Sacrifice Him" does end the paultry 7 track album off on a sombre note. Many critics claimed that this was wholly intentional, and that the album was released as a goodbye to his fans and as a supernatural prediction of his own death. Personally, I don't see it. How you can derive any further meaning from the simple pop song "I Am Definitely Going To Die of Cancer In Two Days" is beyond me.

Prince - Hit N Run, Phase 1 & 2

Many people believe that The Former Artist Known As The Artist Formerly Known As The Artist Formerly Known As Prince hadn't done anything musically before his death since the comically titled 'Come' album, which we've also not listened to. As it turns out, he just hadn't done anything worth talking about. Yes, in an odd twist for this series, there's a good chance that you, like me, haven't listened to any of the 25 studio albums he's released since he changed his name to a fucking symbol. It probably didn't help that these two albums were originally exclusive to the streaming service Tidal, which has even less visitors than that shitty FoulENT site, if that's even possible. Anyway, this album serves more as a threat than a work of art. It's hard to deny that there is a message of defiance in this record, especially in the powerful ballad "I Swear To Christ, If I Don't Become Relevant Again I Will Stop Taking My Meds".

Yeah, it's probably good.

Christopher Lee - Charlemange: The Omens Of Death

Christopher Lee had the sort of life you would make up to try and make your self-insert fan fiction character sound immensely cool. Lee was a part of the secret service in World War 2, before breaking into acting and landing several iconic roles such as Dracula, Scaramanga, Fu Manchu, both Mycroft and Sherlock Holmes, Saruman and Count Dooku. Since being both awesome and immensely old, there was only one thing Lee could do to be literally the coolest man on the planet: Release 4 metal albums in his 90's. I don't care what the album sounds like, it is amazing. This album could have just been Lee muttering incomprehensibly or complaining that he was cold and needed a wee, and it still would have been amazing. Even seasoned metal stars haven't released albums in their 90's. Christopher Lee made the entire metal world look like utter pussies in his fucking 90's. That is metal as fuck. Buy it.

Azealia Banks - Broke With Expensive Taste

I know what you're thinking, 'But Azealia Banks isn't dead!'. Well, considering she just committed career suicide by being a massive racist in the public eye, we can pretty much call this her first and only album before she becomes utterly irrelevant and dies. Honestly, I don't know how we didn't see this sort of behaviours coming. This album was apparently released in 2014, and yet it's just as offensive as she's been this past week, possibly even more. Her stance on sexuality is shown in a vulgar fashion in her dubstep inspired track "Gay, Straight, Chinese; Just Pick One", and her inflammatory views on freedom of movement in the Eurozone are plain to see in the grime ditty "It Doesn't Matter Where These Whiteys Come From, They're All Scum". It's a good thing, then, that she reigned it in for her uncharacteristically mellow acoustic love song, "All The Dirty Asians Must Die (Listen To Me You Fucking Sand People)". Still, next week we won't even remember this bitch or her crappy album. I'm fairly certain we'll all be talking about Britain's Got Talent or something equally innate. Basically anything except this bint. More like Azealia Wanks!
