AURORA PERIALAS



I accuse myself of sporting a boner for producers and if that be true, then Metal Inquisition is the opposite. So MI has a vagina for producers. Huh that doesn't sound right. Moving right along MI took time out this week to make a load fun of Alex Perialas, metal producer with unforgivable taste in eyewear. 
You see, long before Scott Burns was making dozens of dollars producing albums for the likes of Obituary, Sepultura and Hellwitch at Morrisound Studios, Alex Perialas was toiling away behind the knobs for such legendary, life-changing recordings as U.S.A. for M.O.D. With all this in mind, how could we not use our investigative powers to give our readers more information about the kind of life and fortune that producing Overkill's landmark recording Fuck You can grant a man?
Har I love a buncha Perialas-produced albums, namely Overkill/Under The Influence, Nuclear Assault/Game Over, Bad Religion/No Substance, Vio-lence/Oppressing The Masses. With the exception of the first four Testament records, no Perialas production could exactly be called 'revered' or even 'successful.' (Not to mention the disgrace of Pro-Pain and M/S.O.D.) Held in marked contempt is When The Storm Comes Down by Flotsam & Jetsam, which is INSANITY. But hey that's what you pay me for so blam (above, bad cover art).
