Ryan Sawyer seems to have the right idea as well.
I saw a 'black metal' band Heyner was drumming for (assume its Malkuth) last year. Horrible experience. 'black metal' is more of a self limiting genre parody than disco!
Usually when Matt is involved with something its a signal that it is good but Malkuth, no, dreadful. But Eye Contact, yeah, good stuff....

yeah Matt was great but for awhile i thought it wasn't working, what he was bringing into the whole scheme of sound, because Matt and Ryan where starting to gel with this heavy thing (though it took about a good ten minutes into their set, at first i had suspected it would be this awful thign where it be disjointed but as with alot of improv it takes time for things to warm up) but Lavelle had this different conceptual sound going on that countered the bass and percussion but in a way where it all came together in a really interesting and different way. Heyner started doing his theatrical antics that i assume he's known for doing in some settings (mostly NNCK, though i have unfortunately never seen them live) by throwing his long locks in front of his face, wearing sunglases and putting on a homemade cap made out of two 8x11 sheets of paper.
hmm, I assumed that Matt played bass in Malkuth... yeah i have the same thoughts on black metal though i do like some doom and thrash. still not too impressed w/ the cdr... as i had different expectations oh well.
