Aperitif for Destruction

Aggressive nu-metal and hip-hop anthems reimagined as high-gloss Vegas lounge standards. A martini-soaked collision of profane lyrics and Rat Pack swagger.

May 24, 2005 · Outré Oeuvre Records

A high-energy, satirical romp that treats aggressive counter-culture anthems with the smooth sophistication of a Vegas residency.

Moments Worth Listening For

The jarring transition of Slipknot's 'People Equals Shit' into a jaunty, finger-snapping piano intro.

The lounge-singer ad-libs and mid-song banter during the breakdown of 'Welcome to the Jungle'.

The surprisingly lush and sincere-sounding vocal harmonies on the chorus of 'American Idiot'.

The frantic, high-speed swing drumming that mimics the intensity of 'Enter Sandman' while staying strictly jazz.
