Phantom Culture

Jack Korbel was reared on a strict diet of pop music and B-movies from which he happily rebelled. Now a musician-turned-writer-turned-musician who endeavors to capture a little Literature in all his tunes, Jack Korbel names a broad base of influences: folklore and folk music from Ireland to Appalachia, the lives of saints and fools, and a fascination with the misfortunes of human history. About his craft and style, Korbel believes thoughtful music fosters thoughtful community. "The canary is like man's soul," he whispered finally. "It sees bars round it, but instead of despairing, it sings. It sings, and wait and see, Brother Leo: one day its song shall break the bars." - St. Francis of Assisi in Nikos Kazantzakis' "St. Francis" [Remember: even if you were there then, you weren't this there.] Phantom Culture realease: Jack Korbel - Song No.04 The International Phantom Gallery of Culture ©2012 to present, and beyond - All rights reserved by respective parties.

Many have tried to catch snowflakes with their tongues, but have you ever tried to catch a meteor with your ears. Now is the time. Dead Friend Walking even has dead friends dancing to their raucous rawk. "Straight from the minds of those on the forefront of the war we call 'humanity', sonic observations of the struggles we face on a daily basis are brought to life. A musical melting of the sublime, the eccentric and everything in between will leave you in a sonic shroud of an all out ass-kickin'!"

Metal mayhem is an apt description. Librium is hardcore, rawkin' seriousness - like molten lead poured into the ear. Its massive sound burns through the mind leaving a thick, gelatinous remnant of what might have been a brain too used to insipid pop and overly-commercialized tripe that often saturates modern musical sensibilities. Librium's extreme, aggressive style of instrumentation is coupled with rumbling lyrics similar to sounds often reported by earthquake victims. Heavy stuff.
