Mp3 of the Week: Destruct-A-Thon

DOWNLOAD: Destruct-A-Thon, "Consume With Incisor" (mp3)

Duncan Wilder Johnson has been honing his metal geekdom for a couple of decades longer than he's been sharpening his metal chops, but it’s hard to argue with Destruct-A-Thon, a band who take their cues from culty New England rowdies like Scissorfight and Sam Black Church. From the former Johnson has adopted Ironlung’s grizzled, speak-shouted soliloquies — a natural affect for a guy who spent a number of years trying to out-Rollins Henry on the spoken-word circuit. And from the latter he’s borrowed Jet’s piercing Satanic screech, not to mention (and far more important) that stage move where he jumps up in the air and touches his toes. Grab the MP3, then fasten yr beast horns for the Destruct-A-Thon CD release tonight at the Middle East, where they'll be unveiling their Aloha Jihad EP.
