Anyone out there who wants to make a Craigslist post looking for bandmates, the tribalist doom outfit Amarwexu (whose name means “small-poxed Satan”) kindly submit this tutorial as to how you do it:

Amarwexu: Collective musical troupe dedicated to preserving the memory of the many courageous acts of derring-do committed in the name of Imperialism seeks the following:
GUITARS
DRUMS/PERCUSSION – for our full drum line
TRUMPET/BUGLE/HORN PLAYER
BAGPIPES/TIN WHISTLE
ACCORDION/KEYBOARDS
VOCALISTS

A healthy interest in World History would be helpful to this project. A fanatical devotion to our limited aims is mandatory. Band meets roughly once a month for 3-4 hrs in Watchung.

And dig the range of influences. It goes from Crass and Swans to Penance and Rudimentary Peni. I’ve only seen one practice video, but as a fan of that which falls under the heading “crazy shit,” I feel compelled to share. It’s even better knowing this stuff is happening in my home state. Where else but Jersey?
