Ah those three little words which epitomise the heart-warming, spring in your step feeling of true first love: 'Guts For Dinner'. Or is it 'I Love You' I'm thinking of there? Oh well, no matter (more splatter) because as a treat at the tail end of 2016 Hugin had recorded new Guts For Dinner material, and here it is reviewed for your delectation!
Clearly this is an alarming development. GFD is most certainly not for the squeamish, and any attempt to handle material from this malevolent entity usually ends in tears. Almost banished from Castle Nazgul for unnecessarily traumatising the castle monkey, the head-spinning, projectile-vomit inducing pummelling that a GFD track entails is more than sufficient to cause local seismic activity and kick-start riots and unrest. And just downright annoy the gorgeous Lady Nazgul, who already has to put up with a lot god bless her...
What's more, this isn't just a one-off song you know. Oh no, Hugin has only gone and created a limited edition re-issue of the original demo with this new song (and one other) bolted onto it - you'll find out more about that as 2017 unfolds.
But for now, let us revel not only in the new GFD logo that proudly adorns this post (and which will be used on the upcoming release too, which - it must be said - has some excellent artwork of its own), but also dissect the new song: it's not long and it's not pleasant!
Spiky black metal guitar meets raspy-burpy-drowning-under-water vocal style in a dark alley in a broken beer bottles death match is how you might fairly describe this.
I'd like to leave you today with an unusual thing: a rare flash of brilliant insight from your old Uncle Nazgul. Let's take a parallel between the world of film and the world of music. Hugin, as we well know, has a string of musical projects to his name of differing genres and styles, from the majestic Middle-Earth musings of Uruk Hai to the splatter/gore world of Guts For Dinner. Akin to this is film producer Peter Jackson: who would ever have guessed that the man responsible for gore-tastic Bad Taste in 1987 and Braindead in 1992 would, a mere decade later, be responsible for bringing Tolkien's Lord Of The Rings to the silver-screen with such style and panache? Absolutely no one, that's who!
So who's to say that such an improbable turn of events could not befall our Austrian hero, catapulting his music from the underground into the realm of fantasy film (and yes, before you remind me, I do remember "The Nebula Dawn"!) So don't be surprised when Hollywood does come calling, cheque book in hand, earning Hugin sufficient loot to build a huge chateau in the heart of Linz and elevating him to the dizzy heights of super-stardom...!
