M.O.D. guitarist Jon Aaron is continuing to seek members for his new project, tentatively dubbed DILATE. According to Aaron, DILATE will be a group that "brings back substance, songwriting, and new sounds back to extreme heavy music." More information is available at JonAaron.net.
This just rubs me the wrong way. For one thing...the fucking guitarist for MOD is going to bring back things like substance and song writing? Song writing!?! That's like a pizza-flipper for Domino's opening his own restraunt and proclaiming to the world that 's going to bring back Italian dining.
Here's the other thing that gets me: Extreme heavy music.
Good lord. This basically means this Jon Aaron guy is going to start a nu-metal band but throw in something like a ten second blast beat on one of the later tracks or have a respected singer like John Tardy throw in some backing vocals.
So here's my translation of what this article really means...
"M.O.D. guitarist Jon Aaron is continuing to seek members for his new project, tentatively dubbed DILATE."
We're going to wait and see what kind of a record deal we can land by dropping the MOD name at every possible opportunity. If the label wants us to change our name or something, we're totally gunna do it.
"According to Aaron, DILATE will be a group that "brings back substance,"
We're down tuning our guitars.
"songwriting,"
We promise to write at least one song about a girl I fell in love with once, a political tune, and something about poor kids with nothing to eat.
"and new sounds"
We're going to throw in easily accessible beats and some keyboards here and there. You know, really cutting edge stuff that, like, nobody has ever done before.
"back to extreme heavy music."
Our album cover is going to contain either a pentagram, some kind of nudity, or a child holding a weapon. If we're feeling really extreme that morning, we might do a mix of those things. I mean, god! We're fucking so extreme! I just said "fuck"! That's fucking extreme! Now where did I put my Meshuggah CD...
