The Goregrind Encyclopedia

This project was ambitious, but things went pretty well for a few years before it choked in so much spam I gave up. It is a sort of Wikipedia (actually I have done it with exactly the same program) which only dealt with goregrind bands and fanzines (and labels etc.). In the beginning goregrind.com was supposed to become a sort of community but with time two things happened:

  1. I couldn’t care less of creating a community, most of the time the people that participate are just annoying dorks.
  2. The goregrind scene, while quite large enough to support such a project, is not large enough to make the pain in the ass of maintaining such project worthwile. There’s already an excellent forum at grindgore.net, I do not want to make something redundant. Not to mention I by far prefer to have a single forum to check, now and then.

That said, I have spent part of today upgrading software and making backups of that wiki. Before I start doing reviews again, I’d like to have the goregrind wiki up and working. I am having some difficulties due to very strict hosting policies and program upgrades, but I believe I can handle it.

EDIT: The Encyclopedia is now working. It is not pretty at all. Just the bare skeleton of a wiki, but we have time to improve it. Everyone is invited to contribute!

Welcome back, Mick

Indeed. Myself has returned home, or as they say: “heeere’s daddy”!

The return to the old headquarters has been great, if weird. Lots of cobwebs and dust here, all the rancid cadavers I left putrefacting on the floor have turned to dust, and time has come for a good swipe, some air change, some paint has well, maybe. Even the flies that made home in my jars full of guts have died. This room need some good clean up before a new start. The rusty hooks hanging from the ceiling need some sharpening and polishing. And fuck, if that turntable doesn’t need some slick blood to turn again smoothly.

But yes, here I am. A good concert, a talk with few old friends, a new home, a new base of operations, all helped very much in getting back to business. And of course I had to put Autopsy on recently. Without Autopsy, there could be no Nuclear Abominations at all. I have unpacked the big box of material that still awaits for a sick review.

The wiki I had installed on goregrind.com is full of spam, and the website doesn’t work anymore. Yet another thing to fix.

And, I have been offered the chance to publish something… the project is still a secret and I haven0t even begun to think how to write it, but well, everything needs a start.

And, the Internet is so full of shit that some honest talk is definitely needed, don’t you think?

The zombies are back in town, and they’re hungry for brains!
