Sounds Like"The extreme to which Black Mayonnaise took the basic idea of heavy was ridiculous and I mean that as a compliment. Obviously this is a focused effort, seeking to make music that barely crawls on its own slimy belly. Before commencing, the man behind Black Mayonnaise turned on bright red strobe lights and a smoke machine that made the small living room feel like a nightmarish arena nestled deep within the pit of Hell. He then made the simple combination of distorted bass and drum machine sound like a row of tanks rolling through a wall of sheet metal. The time lapse between sequenced bass drum thud and snare hit stretched for an eternity. Head banging was almost out of the question, and the people attempting to do so could randomly be seen with head thrown back under the nanosecond flash of the strobes and not come down chin to chest until five minutes later. For the duration of the set everyone seemed to be drowning in a floor to ceiling flood of codeine cough syrup while the digital beats sounded more and more alien under the rising bass rumble. Vocals blended into the cacophonous ooze and the place erupted into rapturous applause when the smoke cleared. Black Mayonnaise won't be soon forgotten by anyone lucky enough to have been there." -Amelia (?), House of Tinnitus, Denton, TX

   About Black Mayonnaise
"Black Mayonnaise officially came into existence on August 6, 1991 out of nowhere, crudely inspired by old Godflesh, old Carcass, old Butthole Surfers, old Chapeau, and Big Black. "Stuff that frogs would like" was recorded on that day in a very sloppy/spontaneous manner, and "Off-shore sludge" was recorded the following day under identical circumstances. These earliest recordings have been described as "garage Godflesh" and "like Happy Flowers with a drum machine". The gestalt-like change into the "space sludge" sound that occurred in 1992 was the result of purchasing a 4-track, as the previous tapes were recorded with merely a boombox. During the mid-90's this project seemed to mysteriously transmute into somewhat of a living entity with a will of its own, independent of its creator and coming/going as it pleased. This factor would be a partial reason for the random disappearances/resurgances over the years. The somewhat obscure slang-term for decomposing sewage/sediment seemed appropriate for the early sound. This obscurity led to widespread discrimination by the more serious grim-faced metalhead/hipster-noise mamas-boy types living at home earning money off ebay/allowances and enough spare time to post 65498 [this is oftentimes a low estimate] times a day on numerous message boards... as it was misinterpreted by many as "some lame white-trash noisecore band named after expired food". Though by no means has this project ever been one to take itself too seriously. The other crowd of discriminators possess a much higher level of integrity. These are the individuals who have listened to the project and have empirically reduced it to simplistic weird sounds created by an overactive imagination and not "music" at all; more or less a truism... for the most part."   Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting ***DISCOGRAPHY*** Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting "Stuff that frogs would like" 45min. cassette ********1991 GWOP Recordings Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting "Off-shore sludge" 45min. cassette ********1991 GWOP Recordings Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting "With Oatmeal" 20min. cassette ********1992 GWOP Recordings Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting "Things that live in your pubic hair" 45min. cass. ********1992 GWOP Recordings Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting "Songs that give Bob Larson a hard-on" 30min. cass. ********1992 Xenomorph Recordings Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting "Your [...] smells, so I'll just [...] your [...] instead" 30min. cassette (this title is quite embarrassingsly juvenile... but at the time i WAS a juvenile so use your imagination and don't be such a PC pansy about it) ********1993 Stupidity Records Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting "VII" 30min. cassette ********1993 Stupidity Records (reissued on cdr with bonus 2002 live track by Alarming Echo Beats) ******** Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting "Collection 1992-1994" 90min. cassette ********1997 Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting "Collection 1993-1998" 90min. cassette ********1998 Gauge Records Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Black Mayonnaise/Chapeau vol. 1 split cdr (all BM tracks on this release are covers of Chapeau songs) ********2004 Brise-Cul Records Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting "TTSSATTSR" album ********2004 Emperor Jones Records Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Black Mayonnaise/Murderous Vision "Texas tour split cdr" ********2004 Live Bait Recordings Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting v/a Drum Machinegun compilation ******* 2006 Relapse Records Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting "Unseen Collaborator" album *********2008 Resipiscent Records

I am now recording for a new set of releases called the "Persona Series". These cassettes will be commissioned works (not by content, but by payment) for individuals. If John Smith in London, England wants his own Zebulon Kosted album, I will make a 45 minute album (one side of a 90 minute tape), 2 hand drawn mini posters, I will name the album after him (Zebulon Kosted - John Smith), and the fan will retain all rights to the recording (for use of any future release, sampling, or broadcasting rights). One copy of the album will remain in my personal collection, and one will be sent to the customer, so that the only copy that will be in circulation will be John Smiths copy! Each album is available for the ridiculously low price of $10 (not including shipping), and will be shipped in its completed form no later than 6 weeks from the date of purchase!!!
