This
cassette has no real indication on it that it is called “Karmageddon” or that
it is by Poppenheimer. The only
distinguishing feature on the actual cassette and artwork itself is the label
of Outer Realms and so that kind of had me thinking what would happen if you
didn’t have an internet to fall back on for reference?
“Karmageddon”
begins with “Jaws” type sounds, which are present throughout almost the entire
cassette here and there. Electric guitar
notes are played through distortion as chords are strummed and seemingly banged
out in chaos. It may not begin as harsh
noise, but it certainly becomes it. Oh
yes, I can feel the anger in this one.
Somewhere
in between JML and I Like You, Go Home there is the back and forth of the
static void and eventual distorted screams as well. I recall the album by Norma Jean where the
title and song titles were all words mixed together to form something
completely different and much more brutal sounding. Given that, I had ideas that this would be
heavy going in but not like this.
Poppenheimer
(You might think it’s pop, but you’d be fooled by the man who created the
atomic bomb) takes you on a boxing match with music and you’re losing every
round. Your corner man might throw the
towel in and show you a little bit of mercy, but he’s getting his ass kicked
too. So won’t you come and get your ass
kicked with Poppenheimer and me?
