about

'Come on over and bring my Winfield guitar', he said. So I did - and We recorded this song in his bedroom at lafayette on a little fourtrack. The next day he mixed it. We heard it - much later. Even in its nucleus, in this raw form it still remains one of the Greatest songs I've ever heard. But then, I am partial, and only genius recognises itself (hey?). By midnight that night he was gone. He 'broke on thru to the other side'. He was not much impressed with this life. It was the 16/March/2010. He was 19. In the past three years we've recorded several versions of this song, and although they were all magnificent (of course), they were all too sanitised, all too 'predictable', all Too Easy for The World to 'Accept'. On no occasion could we come close to the Spirit of Death contained in the disenchanted urgency of This - the origional recording. You see, this is 'For Those Who Know.' This is from someone who went to the edge and didn't come back. Even the guitar riffs (and the 'tape roll') dance with and romanticise Death, and yet, it is full of Life? So we thought, 'You know what? We're too close to this mother fucker - let's just set it Free!' Because, no matter what you do, or where you go, no matter Who you listen to, you will never hear anything like this again... This is Day oF devil - 'What I Used To Believe'.

O tortured man upon the tree...

Day oF devil would like to thank 'The ELF' for her technical services - and stuff. Also, a big throbbing & errect thank you to Gloria Excelsis for being 'The Face' of Day oF devil, the logo - the image - the body & soul!

Note 1: The ELF and Gloria Excelsis are indeed one in the same, but her insanity insists on the two separate identities. We, however, are Day oF devil and we ride The White Noise...

Note 2: We are as Real as Bob Marleys Cancer; as Sure as Jim Morrisons rancid dick, and as Passionate as Kurt Cobains shotgun. But this song is not your pretentious manicured - puffed up - precise fucking bullshit that any 10 year old dickhead can turn out nowadays. This is not for those who want to hear a fucking pin drop. This fucking hurts! This is tortured genius playing with white noise on this mother of songs with the shitiest instruments we could find...it won't suit your neat, spoilt little lives, it won't fit in with 'what you've been led to believe'. it won't enhance your 'precious stereo systems', it is not for - or from - The Man, and most importantly, it won't impress your mom & dad. We are here to untrain your tutured ear!!! To 'unmediocratize' your lives. To unlearn and to hear the beauty of The Word in whatever form it approaches. It's a fucking ugly world...but:

Note 3: We are the beautiful ones - the Young Handsome Devils. We are Gifted. We are White. We are Straight. And we're Fucking Proud of it! We like William Blake, and We are English. We like Friedrich Nietzsche, and We are a German Jew. We like William Wallace, and we are Scottish. We like Jim Morrison and Bart Simpson, and We are American - twice. We like Rousseau and Montaigne...but We are Not French! Our minds have been cleansed and are subordinate to our souls. We are Day of devil and these are our opinions. We are for the Disenchanted, the Disenfranchised, the Disillusioned and the Lost. We've had our fill of the 'charitable generation' - giving away what is ours. Who gives a fuck about some famine a million miles away when there's a 16 year old girl getting stabbed in the throat in your own fucking nieghbourhood!? Hey? Wake up!! Charity is One Square Mile! We want nothing to do with what has gone before. We trust no one, and believe nothing that was not already within us. We no longer Wish to 'Do Good'. We Fear No one, and Bow to No one. There is No Law...that We are not above. We are Day oF devil: We drink Life like water - Devour Death like Wine...and we are not alone.

Note 3: We want to hear from people who feel the same, we want to take back what is ours! What is Ours? Everything!! You can't like guns n roses and kiss your bosses ass! (unless you're a fan of Slash). You can't like Nirvana and jump in your posh car and drive to your fancy house - cause, if you do you're too fuckin old - you're either fakeing it or you sold out, so fuck off and get your own fucking attitude. Rock n Roll, for those who don't know, means 'We don't give a fuck!' If you give a fuck - then fuck off! We're fucking tired of these old fuckers like Coldfuckinplay, Ufucking2, Bonfuckinjovi telling us what to do like a bunch of old fucking pensioners. Have they forgotten or did they never really know? Pricks. We are offended that they use the name of 'Rock' when they're fucking Caberet acts working for theirselves via 'the Man'. We say fuck off to any one who wants to preach and 'do good' when they're slaves to materialism, luxury and comfort. Get a fucking life you old bastards, one that has nothing to do with us! We know we're not alone in this so let's fucking unite! Let us take back from the old bleeding hearts what is ours! And all these new fucking puppy 'rock' bands - you've got no balls and no brains, you're shit scared of saying anything that will 'upset', well, you're following the fucking leader! The wrong fucking leader! Follow us, we'll tell you what it's all about, we'll show you the other side of everything, and then you can make a Real decision. Rise up! Think for yourself, from your nasty self (our nasty selves are as real as we ever really get, find out who you really are, cause all this pretence is wasteing your fucking time). Do this and Then write a song. And not one about some fuckin Tsunami in katmandoo (unless you wanna tell us how good the fuckin surfing was). Otherwise you're raping the fuck out of Rock and leaving it to die like your 'leaders'. Not ours.. As far as We can see, the English singer Pete Doherty is the only real rocker in circulation today. And no one fucking likes him? We do. We will never come in, we will never be part of the system. We don't want much, just enough, we don't want money, but we give nothing away for free (that would be charity). We don't want fame...we just wanna change the world before we leave it, We are day of devil and we don't expect to be liked, but, do we give a fuck? Rock n Roll has nothin to lose, and neither do we...'Rock Stars' have their mansions, Day oF devil have nowhere to rest their heads, Long may We Reign!

All proceeds from this song will go to a bag of Top Ganja from down on the Bayou. For all of those who buy this song there will be a Spliff and a handshake waiting. For all those who don't, well, you are The Once Born, and We are not impressed.

about

Day oF devil Lafayette, Louisiana

We are Day oF devil, and We say:

Whilst the church was giving satan Head
We found out that Rock was Dead,
It's been Sleeping in a Strangers bed...
Feasting on a pile of Shit it turned to us and Said:

You do not Lead - You Follow!
Education is a Trend!
You do not Learn - You Borrow!
And what You Copy - You Lend.

We are Day oF devil and We say: - Selah!
