Two years later I finally got a copy from my brother John and it fucking slays just about everything that's come out of Massachusetts, ever, and I mean that with no exaggeration on my part.

Seems to be the absolute perfect culmination of the years they spent together as a band, as far as I can tell. The surfiness is still in there, but it's blended a lot more subtly with the thrashy/grindy insanity. Mark's vocals are ferocious. Seems like he learned to perfect the highscream during his time in Watchmaker. Nick nails that shouting scream that he has, the gang shouts sound huge, the drumming is Gillis at the best I've ever heard him...

and the RIFFS! Good fucking god, the RIFFS!

Brad and Mark and Nick are criminally underrated on their respective guitars and bass. Likewise with John on drums, even though he's been in every band you ever pretended to like whenever someone in an AC shirt said he liked your Today is the Day shirt at that Watchmaker show your boyfriend dragged you to.

You don't know what you're missing, both album-wise and live-wise.

I miss this band so damn much.

R.I.P. 2 years too little too late, to a truly unique band.

that's sweet.

Still haven't heard this.

weird, i was just reading an interview with Jack Kevorkian yesterday and i though about this band.

Tis true. This album kills. Shits hard on the first record. Miss these guys.

The drummer plays for hannaford and the heartstopers.

they were an awesome live band

I'm the one who put the info up on metal-archives, got the CD from Mark and it rules

I gave you a cd at the last show numb nuts

ok, I have a blogspot thing i haven't done anything with. Which upload site should I use so I can give this shit away. Mark was supposed to get it distro'd out and instead got hooked on dope.
megaupload?
rapidshare?

edit, i'm setting up a megaupload account and will be posting a blogspot thing by the end of the night. Thanks for the kind words Kadoogie

top-notch, duh

OK, TOOK LONGER THAN i THOUGHT. i'LL GET THE LINKSA UP THIS WEEK

drugs are bad.. mmmky

ok, here's direct links to download the shit one track at a time, i haven't figured out how to just have one link or how to efficiently use megaupload

I hope this works

ok, looks like it did. Sorry it's one track at a time, i'll figure out how to make it a folder later, gotta go to work.

This CD took 3 years to make, it was/is our masterpiece, our Reign in Blood if you will. It was truly a group effort. Mark was going to do his usual cat getting raped vocal style until we convinced him to be a little more manly, to great effect. Most songs were done in one take, except for Hilarity of Punctured skin, which took a million, funny since it's the slowest and should have been the easiest.

more on this later

Brad, you definitely never gave me a copy. Now it don't matter though. Thanks for putting that shit up.

that's it, I'M FLYING BACK TO FIGHT YOU!
Enjoy

your "Reign in Blood" huh? bold statement.

Here's a rapidshare link with them all zipped. If for some reason you guys want me to take it down let me now. Just figured it might be easier for some people.
Heard of Kervokian's Angel, but had never actually heard them. This sounds real good to me.

http://rapidshare.com/files/399671087/Kevorkian_s_Angels.zip.html

I think he means relatively, which is why he said "our Reign in Blood", not "the world's new Reign in Blood".

yeah dude, i get it. it's still a bold statement.

ITT: egos and more egos

i wasn't even saying that the statement was wrong, or unwarranted. I just said bold. RIB was to Slayer a record that did more than just step up the music, it attracted much more attention, it had much better recording, To make a statement like that speaks to leaps and bounds of advancement from their other stuff.... and like i said, i don't think it's incorrect, but definitely bold.

indeed, it is a bold statement. But it is leaps and bounds above our previous album both in content and recording. I don't think we broke the mold or did anything all that new, though i'd like to hear a metal band have surf influences like we did.

as far as whoever zipped it and rapidshared it, thank you. I tried doing that but only had about 5 minutes to attepmt it this morning. Leave it up!

bold is good.

these days i feel like so many people are doing these hybrid punk/thrash/grind/crust/metal hybrid bands. Kevorkian's Angels had been doing it in their own way for like ten years. it's just that they were townies as opposed to all-out-scenester Allston types so they were doomed to never become popular outside of real underground circles.

just think what could've become of them if they were "cool" and lived in Allston and promoted their band to hipster-metal fags and bike messengers and printed tons and tons of t-shirts and gear and and and and...

Love this record, love and miss these guys. Miss jamming with mark as much of a fuckup as he was.

yeah, he was a talented little fucker. After all those years of being bros he immediatly started backstabbing as soon as we broke up. It was fucked up. I still don't understand, probably never will.

I dunno. I mean, i get that what you're describing is what it takes to be cool IN Alston, but does that really matter anyways? I don't think appeasing the Alston crowd is the right way to "make something" of your band, no matter how much that crowd likes you, they'd never travel somewhere that's uncomfortable for them to see you, and once you DID start getting any notice, you wouldn't be "underground/scene" enough for them, and they'd stop liking you.

That being said, i honestly think there are/have been LOTS of really good bands out there that do it for years, get no/little recognition, then break up. It's just the way it is, that's why Kevorkians A Did it the right way by just being themselves, having fun, and making music that they love. If you even begin to care about how you're perceived/how to "make it big" then you're probably gonna fail. Unfortunately even with all the drive in the world, love for your music, skills and networking you STILL need a good dose of luck. That's why you should just do your best and have a blast doing it.

(that was in no way "arguing" with what someone else said, i was merely getting a thought off of my chest.)

I pretty much completely agree with what 'poopshit' said. Had KA been way more in with the Allston DIY/crusty kids they wouldve gotten nuch more recognition.

fix'd, back'd

I GET DEFENSIVE 'ROUND MY ANGELS.

Sorry.

Many points to poopshit for nailing it, though.

and thank goodness that wasn't the case.

recognition in allston? the sort of recognition that you can assume has very little to do with your music, and more to do with your image? I would think that THAT kind of recognition is lame.

i'm glad you said this. I thought poopy's comment about the band being "doomed" meant that it would have been better to be "allston big".

Listening to this right now and I'm very much loving it. That guitar tone is digustingly awesome.

don't tell Blue, it's solid state Crate. mwhahahaha

after this weekend I'm gonna upload some more stuff. We did 2 other songs. me on drums and guitar, Nick on bass. After the KA songs were done, John and Mark passed out and me and nick were bored, so we recorded Somethin Else by Eddie Cochran and Bernadette by the Four Tops. Somethin Else ended up goofy and we improvised the lyrics, ended up being about fat girls. plus I have some demos and live stuff that is really good. I think i'll make covers for them too.

Feels good to get some recognition, thanks

Brad, nothing wrong with SS if it sounds good duh.

I always thought Kevorkian's Angels was a RTTP gem. Were you guys not very active? This is the first I've heard the music.

still love my Weymouth Rocks boxset

we were very active from 2001 to 2005. we started recording Disorder is in Order in March of 05. We kept picking away at it and didn't think we were putting enough effort into it, so we thought we'd take a break and concentrate on that. At the same time, we started doing a shitload of coke and our gear got padlocked in our sketchy practice space in Rockland. So 2006 was a waste and by the time we got our gear, finished the recording and started to play shows again, Mark had gotten sober and was being a pussy about everything, then I decided to move out here to Illinois.

The awesome thing about this band was they were a bunch of fuckups from the South Shore like the rest of us and didn't need to suck the dicks of about of Alston-hipster faggots like so many more popular bands do.

and let's give props to Continued Without A Finding, which featured some of the same members.

yuh best grind band Boston had to offer

i agree with everything. i wasn't trying to say that appeasing the trendy crowd was a better route to go, but more just thinking out loud about what it is that makes a band get recognition from the outside world and where lots of the usual activity takes place.

at least their legacy is intact.

and let's not, let's not forget about FLOYDESTROYER

Mark used to get so mad when people would say they liked CWAF better than KA. I was in both bands but was a fan of Tom and John before I joined back when CWAF was called Cestus. The bands were totally different. I never understood why Mark got so bent about it. He did have a fragile ego, guess it makes sense.

I'd love to play in a band with John and Nick again. They have You're Fired going again, said it's leaning more towards fast hardcore rather than straight blast beats. Can't wait to hear it.

My only regret with KA is I wish we recorded the night before the Halloween show when we did Jerry's Kids Is this my World album. We had taken mushrooms and played that album SO fucking perfect, it was unreal. Then we played the show and it was half disaster/ half ok. Having half of Jerry's Kids there was fucking intimidating as fuck, we did ok though.

Brad, if for some reason I'm ever coming through Illinois, we gotta jam on some 50's/60's covers, at LEAST. Have no idea if that'll ever happen. Gotta throw it out there, though.

"My semen smells like fruity pebbles and bleach." - Nick Kevorkian, in the Chopping Block Alley

i want to BUY a copy of this.

"LAST BENCHPRESS" OR GTFO

LOL!!

Kadoog, anytime man.

yes. I'll keep in touch. I owe you a buncha cds, too. Haven't forgotten, I'm just a megoaprocrastinator.

Not a bad album but I always thought they were much better live.

finally got around to uploading some shit, here's Kevorkian's Angels last show. Zipped with pictures courtesy of The Reverend Peepeeless
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IW4HMK4P

recorded at the Midway Cafe on June 7th 2008 by their soundguy

i also uploaded and zipped up a demo we did in 2005. No vocals, done live on my 4 track. We do a cover of the Cream song Dance the Night Away off of Disraeli Gears.

bump

these cee dees have been unearthed (disorder is in order) brad - should I convince york to let me list em for sales? he said yes already, but I know it will take more prodding

tell that fucker to call me!! All it takes is one phone call to bury the hatchet, he started the bad blood, he needs to man up and call me. Quote me if you will. Who are you anyways? Either way, go ahead and sell them

I can suggest that call, but you know him. This is Ali. I saw the cee dees in his basement, yesterday. Hundreds of em. I will let you know what happens. As long as I have your go-ahead. shoot me your digits on your facebooks... i will pass em along

The file was deleted due to our inactivity-rule (no downloads).

the megaupload files are still available. the Midway show is Disorder is in Order minus a song or two, plus our top 40 hits and a Ramones cover

think you could do this on skype and videotape it? sounds like it could get good

I finally downloaded this the other day. This album is insane!

this is definitely their best work to date.
I heard they were touring the US with the Pantera reunion, but something happened.

I was glad to see a few old tunes on it, too.
What happened with the Pantera reunion?

Beakey? THEE Beakey? What's up man!! When is the Scallion coming back?

What's up, motherfucker? I had to put that thing to rest before it got too out of hand. It was fun while it lasted, but the quality of each article was becoming increasingly poor.

ITT: quicy forest gets internet again.

I just named my newborn son Quincy.
Almost gave him Forest as a middle name.

Couldn't quite seal the deal, though.

Quincy as a person name is a rich person's name.
Quincy as a town name, not so much.

We're rich in spirit.

Was "Maggot" your fallback plan for a middle name?

I really miss hanging with these guys. A lot of shit and i mean a lot has gone down over the years. My brother and i use to share the space in rockland with them. Anytime i could help the band, i did. I did my best whether it be hauling their gear to shows in my truck or lending gear to record with. I miss everything about this band (weymouthrock) and everybody in it. Shows, parties, just hanging out. Shit is a lot dfferent now. Mark = Backstabber and that totally sucks. Hopefully some day he "comes to". I remember back in the day when i was going through some serious shit with drugs, rehabs, institutions, and other bullshit, he said "i can't hang out with you man. You're too messed up". It's funny sometimes how the tables turn. But i do hope the best for him. Not an easy battle. Nick has serious talent on bass and his vocals are just fucking dirty, weymouth styleyyy. Brad has great riffs. John is a machine on drums, he makes me sound good on guitar and that's not easy to do. All the best to you guys!

Yes.

Mess, what did Mark do?

Is it so bad that this album does not make up for it?

I have a bunch of the 1st CD if anyone wants.

That first CD is fucking amazing.

I think that Mark looked at himself and realized that if he didn't get the fuck away, he was going to die doing drugs and stopped hanging out with anyone that did drugs or drank and cleaned himself up.

@Rick. thanks for all of it man. Much appreciated
@Beakey. Mark fucked his best friends wife after they got divorced
@Rev. Mark has an addictive personality. He went from being a cokehead alcoholic to being an exercise junkie, to dopehead backstabber.
I texted with him over the weekend. I'll call him someday and put the past behind. We were all brothers for years, seems like when I moved everyone stopped talking to each other.

I didn't know about the dopehead backstabber part. I haven't seen him since the last show.

Brad who did the artwork for this charles bronson

Wow, that really sucks to hear.
I always liked Mark a lot.

Also, Brad...is there any CWAF stuff up on Megaupload or Mediafire?

I can get some CWAF up on megaupload this weekend. I'll start a new thread when I do.

Here's a new link for KA's Disorder is in Order studio album http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HIPNB5Q1

Brian Livoti did the cd artwork.

No escape! Living hell! No more South Shore Mental Health!!!

new way to download this here shit
http://kevorkiansangels.bandcamp.com/album/disorder-is-in-order

plus a bonus track of our last song ever played live, Blitzkrieg Bop by the Ramones

Still miss the fuck out of this band. ITT no nowadays try hard scene slut new jacks. Raise some hell.

Um. Thanks?

Yes, it's a compliment and nod to the ways of old. I can't take most people who never played the block seriously. Just observing the lack of nowadays jerk offs who plague the scene and how vacant they are in support of KA.

Gotcha. Took me a few reads to understand what you said. I like to think we were different than most bands.

Could def say the same about Abhorred.

I think I mustve been referring to the first KA album here for some reason, because Disorder is In Order kills.

Our first album has great songs, just a shitty weak recording.

Yea I'm not saying I hated it, but coming off the excellent live shows I was expecting more when I first heard it. Also vocals on second album are MUCH better.

brad, ya turd, it was about fucking time to put this on bandcamp! i'm way too lazy to walk into jason's record room and rip his copy. DLing now.

apparently mark is working at some tire place, my friend sherry had her tires done by him....

Yea. Mark's some kind of mechanic now. I did have a Ramones cover on there, I guess they don't like that cuz it's not available anymore. I'm gonna upload some more stuff soon.
