Black Metal fan bites dead rodent; video available!

From the "I swear I am not making this up" file...

Even though the 'zine I wrote for (Detritus) has closed up shop, I am still on the mailing lists for many labels, promotions people, etc so I still get all sorts of strange e-mails. I got this one yesterday and it struck me particularly funny. This is definitely one of the more bizarre press releases I've received. I've never heard of the band in question, but how could I possibly resist that headline?? All I can say is "Wow, this guy's mother must be really proud." Or maybe "I'm glad this guy doesn't live next door to me."

I also was not brave enough to click the video link provided. I claim no responsibility if any of you do.

PTAHIL: Fan Bites Head Off Decomposed Rodent; Live Video Footage Posted

Regularly adorning the stage with lamb bones and decaying rats, Indiana black metal miscreants PTAHIL are known for their moody, violent and lawless exercises in live musical mayhem. At a recent ceremony at The Brass Rail in Fort Wayne, their onstage chaos led one fan to bite the head of a decomposed rodent.

Comments PTAHIL drummer, Mhaghnuis: "It is good to see that when a human being is bombarded with specific emotions, smells and sounds that they can commit actions that are normally unthinkable to them. We are proud that our music and presence helped this person do something unthinkable to any current standard of social behavior."

Added concert attendee/rat nibbler Zac Bau: "I felt it necessary to step outside the rest of the fans behavior and show that it only takes one person to break the monotony of fist-pumping metal fans. Everybody can mosh; everybody can throw the horns but the true metal fan will eat things that the spirit of the moment moves them to no matter the rest of the world's thoughts on it."

PTAHIL recently completed the follow-up to For His Satanic Majesty’s Glory. Titled The Almighty Propagator Of Doom And Despair, their newest assault Satanic doom/punk/black metal is slated for release on December 21, 2012 through Wraith Productions and was written and recorded in acknowledgement to the prison of life and the pursuit of true freedom. Further info to be revealed in the coming weeks.

he doesn't really bite it. he holds the head with his teeth & pulls the body till the head rips off. it stretched like a stick of mozzarella cheese.

I dig that band.
