### Yass-Waddah: Cities of the red night

#### 08/09/13 || sincan

Lo and behold sheep fuckers! Do you feel it? I sure feel it, since it’s time for some Italian music (finally!!!)… Well before we start I must say a few words about the flood of Italian diarrhea (in the shape of mp3 or CD) being shipped to us here at Global Domination and this has not much to do with Yass-Waddah actually, since they are light years better than their countrywomen.

Well, as previously stated, we for some weird reason, get a lot of Italian musica sent to us for being reviewed, which is rather ironic when you can count good Italian music by the amount of cocks being included in a threesome between two men and one woman. What I mean is that it seems like the shit we get sent here is in accordance to the inverse of the amount of good music a country is putting out. Yes countries produces music, not humans yadda yadda Yass-Waddah (FUCKING TOUCHDOWN, I planned to do this later but couldn’t resist any more).

Okay it’s time for writing about the actual band, Yass-Waddah, and I for sure don’t know how to pronounce the name nor do I know what it means. I did some research and this is what I found: Wikipedia says that “Yass is a town in the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales, Australia”: Urban dictionary says that “waddah! is a standard greeting or hearty hello to someone, or something just to wake people up and annoy them. It’s a slight variation on wasssupp! except dumbed down even more so.”. Well, uh, you do the math.

This is a concept EP based on the book “Cities of the red night” by William Borroughs if it rings any bells with you. The music itself can be described as some sort of old school black/death metal with the conventional lo-fi production and this for sure is, surprisingly, relatively enjoyable. Just listen to this innovative riff in the third track Transmigrants and receptacles. If all Italian bands was as good as Yass-Waddah (or better) my life would be less painful. However life is not a pleasant journey and it sure takes its toll.

So the final verdict will be that this EP is a decent one and the band delivers well executed old school metal, I however would prefer more memorable tracks to give this a higher score. But hey, the music is available for free at their Bandcamp, so check it out, or continue masturbating or drilling through your knee.
