"...the songs move from stretched out expanses of tense avant-doom a la Khanate, with huge chunks of abstract riffage exploding amongst stretches of near silence, and overseen by some awesome over-the-top death metal growls, to gorgeous psychedelic folk songs that blend together flutes and acoustic guitar and dramatic male singing that definitely reminds me of the dark psych-folk like Comus and Incredible String Band." - Crucial Blast
"...Funeral is easily the most ambitious effort in the doom-metal genre in years, and shows Fairfield capable of playing any instrument (guitar, bass, drums, keyboard). Butchery blends everything from Native American rhythms to ’90s pagan black metal to acoustic ’70s folk-pop." - Las Vegas Weekly
"In just nine songs he grasps the essence of doom metal that is beyond anything I have heard in years! The fluent song structures, crazy musical ideas, deep philosophical thoughts, heartbroken passion, low tuned guitars and harsh programming in the vein of Ahab, Khanate, Earth and The Ocean are solely his! To top it all, he recorded it at home with the means he found there!" - Lords of Metal
"Macabre doom marches through riffs cast in fire and brimstone are the lifeline of this record, but don't be surprised to find the roars burning up in the atmosphere around spiritual acoustic passages, tribal flickers, odious moments of discordant nothingness and other layers of undefinable chaos. Fairfield's lyrics are thoughtful and personal, as he explores environmental themes with different shades of mournful singing and damning cries; tackling a hatred for christian extremity with the aforementioned voices of twisted preachers." - MetalReview
"Like a carnival bizarre, sections of groaning angry sludge morph into warm acoustic strumming, while moments later tribal drums and symphonics take over and push the wall of sound sky high, to later dissolve into a Neil Young cover that leaves you with that particular feeling you have after having been drugged up and drugged out for way too long." - Metal Storm
"The tools are chosen for their narrative relevance: what must be expressed? Which instrument will best serve the emotion that must be instilled? Some Pop music lines, some gloomy Funeral Doom, some Sludgy filth give way to thundering industrial modulations, melodic flute, hypnotic atonal litany, moody acoustic guitar; pagan dance goes along with cosmic ode, soft Folk with meditative drones. Hallowed Butchery’s music is primarily melodramatic, at the service of an environmental message, it proclaims love of nature and roars against the devastating human enterprises. Not in a childish way. I think that point is important: if the lyrics had been of another kind, if the themes had been different, the music wouldn’t have been shaped that way. At all." - Doom-Metal.com
"The first thing you'll notice are the trudging atonal riffs and unearthly rasps, but closer inspection reveals wisps of industrial static, droning melancholy and vague traces of forgotten folk, suggesting that while a debt may well be owed to the likes of Burning Witch and Thergothon, the album's creator is also more than au fait with the further-flung territory mapped out by the likes of Gnaw Their Tongues, Coil and Nadja." - Collective Zine
Noisy experimental-industrial rock/punk from the late 70's. You might like it as well because some of the songs are about zombies and vaguely post-apocalyptic stuff:

By the way, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT throw away the boxed wine. Well, you can throw away the wine itself, but I need the inside of it and the box. There is a guide online that tells about building a bagpipe using the "bladder" on the inside that holds the wine.
Yeah, they are interviews with Roky Erickson. Did you listen to them all the way through? He says some pretty wacky stuff. I like some of the versions of the songs better on "part 2" as well, they're a lot more noisy and manic.
NO, NO, NO, you have "The Evil One[Sympathy for the DEVIL]". This one is sympathy for the RECORD INNDUSTRY, not DEVIL. All the songs you have are included in part one, but part 2 is all new stuff.

Probably the ISB-multi-instrumental-but-not-silly old acid folk you are looking for. Not a perfect album, but the song "The Witch" is pretty great.
I also got an album by Roky Erickson, called The Evil One[Sympathy for the Record Industry], which includes some different versions of those good songs, plus more. His insanity seems more present. On "Creature with the Atom Brain", instead of singing, he just rants about things that insane people rant about(murders of district attorneys by zombies, automobiles, etc.). Also has clips from some interviews which you could probably procure a good clip from.
He Of The House's very first (of many) compilation. Nineteen tracks from twenty artists, the end result of which is possibly one of the most diverse compilations I've ever heard. From soft spoken acoustic folk to raving, churning dirge tunes; from a noisy, industrial cover of a Sonic Youth song to oldschool punk from when it was still raw, fast, and unforgiving. Powerviolence peppers the grounds where spooked whispers whinny along, and the caustic words of a madman festering in his own mind play out over perpetually plucked guitar strings. A true honour it is to work with these amazing artists, and I do hope we can keep them coming back for years.

I've been learning some Irish songs on my autoharp, and suddenly remembered you had a penny whistle(also Irish) and decided to read up on it. I'm pretty sure it's not garbage, but you've just been playing it wrong. You can't just blow into it, you have to almost say "too" when you blow.

Hey thats awesome. You described 'This Whole Town' pretty much perfect. I really do hope it gets released at some point man. I really do. Everyone that was supposed too kinda flaked out... and a few months ago I kinda went a little nuts and started deleting people from the Acheronian page... dunno why now. So i'm working on it.
Very cool. The Acheronian band that added you was also me. That would probably be more up your alley. This stuff is just harsh noise oriented that i'm trying to get right on recording. Live it sounds exactly how I want then when I record it turns out all weird ha. But yeah man. I really love your music. Keep it up. ~Tristan
I'm promoting to spread the word around for my new album that just came out this summer. It's free free free! here http://www.dillydillymusic.com If you haven't gotten it yet!
