Welcome one and all to the newfangled December’s Cold Winter blog!
We at DCW hope some of you will actually care about the band enough to check this shit out for insights on what life as a struggling, third world, Death Metal band is like. I’ll try not to taint this space with too much of my self-effacing style, elsewise this here will become a veritable “virtual dead-land”.
Onto to the meat of the matter.
The band is currently working on refining everything from actual musical skill to onstage performance and intellectual concepts. We are hard at work, racking our feeble drunken brains for better ways to present our pretentious attempts at music.
The brunt of our work, band-wise, is going into fine-tuning our songs, those that have come after our first record, and making sure everything gels nicely. Going over the composition, making sure everything’s consistent and properly arranged. It’s a bitch job but it’s the only way to get things done right. We’re cutting some demos soon as well so, who knows? Maybe you’ll be listening to mercifully short snippets of our musical ejecta! Fucking hooray!
On the individual level of things, bald-headed Maximus is polishing up on the axe, as he wants to dazzle the hell out of the three people who bought our last record (ok, I’m exaggerating, it was two!). I would suggest Isak follows suit, but being the bohemian little twat he is, he’ll probably just mooch the lessons from Max and keep on the level.
Bass-man Esteban is (little Glen Benton!) is taking a foray into digital design; perhaps we’ll see this incursion bear fruit for the band. Allan continues to resemble an ape at the drum kit (Aping the ape?); how does one tell a drummer weaned on Brutal Death not to be so aggressive? Chaos seems to be his thing – as well as blood and guts and all that offal jazz – so we are trying to ride his ass into coherence. Allen’s still doing triipy shit on his V-synth, so maybe you’ll get to hear some of that in the near future. I myself am going from the empirical approach to music to the more orthodox way of doing things. Still trying to figure out the extent of my range and whether I should develop as a Baritone or a Tenor, but I guess that’s gonna come later down the line. Should we resort to lyrical vocal passages again, I won’t put out the odd vocal shit I produced for the last outing. We’re trying to be the pro’s we can be! Huzzah!
On the personal level of things, for anyone who might care, Max cross-dresses (he’s got damn fine-looking man-tits!), Isak is a communist party member, Allan is a porn star (real cheap, nasty stuff), Esteban preys on the fears of the ignorant over mass media (yup, a tele-evangelist!) and Allen pulls double duty as he is both laying down scores for tacky Latin American soap operas and playing the leading man as well. As for me, I’m trying to figure out how to get rich off of Coke and Mentos (any association with drug distribution may or may not be true depending on who’s asking)!
And remember, every record we sell means my dogs get to eat. I’m running out of bums and wynos over here!.

Bienvenidos sean todos al nuevo y mal-concebido blog de December’s Cold Winter!
Esperamos que algunos de ustedes sientan suficiente interes en la banda como para estar visitando este espacio para informarse sobre lo que acontece en la vida de una banda de Death Metal del tercer mundo. Tratare personalmente de no colorear en demasía este espacio con mi horrible estilo auto-derrogatorio para que no se vuelva esto, prematuramente, en un blog fantasma.
Al meollo del asunto.
La banda actualmente se encuentra trabajando en refinar todo desde la habilidad musical y la ejecucion en vivo hasta los conceptos intelectuales. Estamos rompiendonos nuestros alcoholizados cerebros para encontrar mejores maneras en las cuales presentar nuestros torpes intentos de crear música.
El peso principal de nuestro trabajo en la banda es momentaneamente el de optimizar nuestras composiciones, aquellas que han sido escritas posteriormente al nuestro primer disco. Estamos repasando y observando detalladamente lo que es la composicion de cada pieza, asegurandonos que los arreglos estan propiamente contruidos y que todo sea consistente. Es una “matada”, pero es la única manera de que todo salga como debe. Estaremos grabando maquetas prontamente, así que no se extrañen si llegan a escuchar pequeñas muestras de nuestras abominaciones musicales!
A nivel individual, el pelón (Max) esta tratando de meterle mas sabiduria musical a su nimio cerebro. Quizá y le saque la caca a alguno en el proximo disco… quizá! Isak, en su ride de chancletudo seguro nada mas le copia las lecciones a Max para no quedarse atrás y así no darle dinero a las corporaciones capitalistas.
Esteban esta dolido porque Deicide no viene (el mae quería tomarse foto con Benton porque es como el gemelo) y ahora esta jugando de diseñador… va a ser! Allan es un simio y hay que estarle dando palo para que deje de tarrear tanto, pero de que le pone sabor, le pone. Insiste en que el proximo disco sea gore… major que se haga un proyecto de noise! Allen esta haciendo musica rave o algo asi… además de hacer la musica para programas de tele y películas independientes. Que agradecimiento! Yo estoy haciendo feo con algo de clases de canto para ver si dejo de sonar como un ano en una caverna (ano barítono o ano tenor?). A ver si empezamos a parecer maes al chile.
A nivel personal, a la mayoria de los borrachos se le ve en Heredia haciendo feo. Yo nunca salgo y Allen es tica Linda en la esquina o rafas. Si los ven, preguntenle cosas personales.
Y para los que no han comprado nuestros disco, que esperan? Dejen de quemarlo que piratear lo underground es como pegarle a un chiquito con hemofilia!
