A recent post on Toolband this morning highlights the new release from Lustmord Songs of Gods and Demons that is now available from his website. While Lustmord’s work is quite interesting, what’s even more interesting to Tool fans is this snippet:
The CD includes "The Blasted Plain", the companion piece to the music Lustmord did for the VICARIOUS DVD menu.
I don’t even remember the music/noise from the Vicarious DVD menu, so perhaps I’ll stick it in my drive later today and check it out…
Puscifer’s new EP "C" is for (Please Insert Sophomoric Genitalia Reference HERE) is now available for download from iTunes and Amazon. According to a recent post on Toolband it’s digital only for now, but may come out on vinyl someday. Also out is the previously released D is for Dubby featuring Lustmord remixes if V is for Vagina.

Finally, the remix version of Lustmord’s [O T H E R] album has been released. Titled [O T H E R D U B] it features Adam Jones both on album playing guitar, and his art work graces the cover. The album can be purchased here.
Technical Note: Mentioning “Porn” in a comment will see you getting sent to my spam/moderation list. I’ll approve them as they come in, but don’t get all flustered if your comment doesn’t appear straight away.
isdfx from Toolarmy pointed me towards an interesting interview with Lustmord on All Things That Rock. Here’s an excerpt:
(Lustmord) Adam Jones is another good example of not so much the instruments he plays, but the person himself and the attitude and the aesthetic he brings to it.
We had talked about him maybe not using a guitar because he makes great electronic music and really interesting experimental work outside of what he’s known for. We’re both big Kraftwerk fans and we share interests in things like Aphex Twin, Autechre etc. so it didn’t have to be him playing guitar.
There’s also the fact that he’s the guitarist from Tool and anything he plays is going to have that Tool sound. We didn’t want it to sound like that. Not that there’s anything wrong with sounding like Tool, he does that really well, but if you’re collaborating with people you try to do something different.
Of course, the obvious thing would have been to make it sound exactly like Tool and sell a shit load of records. But Tool already exists and it’s more interesting to try something different.
Very interesting article about Lustmord and his work.
Oldesch on Toolarmy tells me that there is a new Puscifer remix album available on Puscifer.com called D is for Dubby. This album contains nine tracks all remixed by Lustmord:
Dub remixes from “V is for Vagina” by the elusive O.G. Goth legend, LUSTMORD. Lot’s of Dub out there in the world. Some of it is actually done correctly. Lustmord is one of the few who do it right. Turn it up, settle in, and remember to Puff Puff Pass.
- Bone Dub
- Children of Dub
- DoZo Dub
- Dub v2.02
- Dub with Power
- Momma Dubbed part 1 and 2
- Sour Dub
- Trekka Dub
- Vagina (Version)
The album can be sampled and purchased electronically in the MP3 section of the Puscifer site.
