Description: The zombie apocalypse has hit Earth. Two personnel from a TV station and two policemen set off in a helicopter to find a safe place to hide. Their search leads them to a shopping mall where they manage to find a place that, while not zombie-free, is quite secure. So far, so good
Description: If inchoate anger and unfocussed rebellion have a soundtrack, it’s Black Flag. Primarily the brainchild of songwriter/guitarist Greg Ginn and bassist/theoretician Chuck Dukowski, these Hermosa Beach intellectual bruisers welded the heaviest metal to avant-jazz’s noisy atonality. The full-tilt rhythms of the highest energy punk powered this mongrel chassis. In turn, Black Flag completely made mincemeat out of punk’s boundaries. With Henry Rollins firmly gripping the vocal mic and Kira Roessler and the Descendents’ Bill Stevenson installed in the rhythm section, Black Flag became key in the development of stoner rock, sludge metal and doom metal.
